Day Two

Dear Fat Diary,

Well, last night I did pretty well. I did have water with lemon, and I had steak tips and rice with a salad. Not too bad. I didn't eat much rice. I ate all the salad and most of the meat pieces, but that was all that I wanted. I then walked around for about 30 minutes or so while looking for something for BB to give to his teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. Not too bad. I have done better, but I have done much worse, too.

Last night, BB and I decided to try out the juicer. We made a juice out of carrots, apples, and beets. I think I will leave the beets out next time. They tasted like dirt. Yuck. I am trying to add more veggies to my diet. If I can have at least one power-packed juice per day, and still eat whatever veggies I eat throughout the day, then I am doing pretty good, I think. I am also trying to make the juices to help GG get stronger. She is so weak and out of it. She is in the nursing home now, and I went today at lunch to see her. She was asleep most of the time I was there. She kept waking up and saying, "Ok, let's go." She finally got tired and she went to bed. It was so sad to see how weak she has become. I love her so much, and she has been my buddy for so long now, so just the thought of losing her kills me. I don't think anyone understands the bond she and I have. I am not sure she knew who I was when I first got there, but after she woke up a couple of times, she knew who I was. It just breaks my heart.

Also, today, I found out that my Dad has a brain aneurysm. He drove up here from Alabama so he can go to Emory. His appointment isn't until June 5! But, I think they are going to take him in through the emergency room, so he can get seen ASAP. I love my Dad dearly, and I am terrified that something might happen before they can get to it. They said it was on the small range, but smaller and stranger things have killed people. I just don't want to lose him either. That would kill me for sure.

This weekend is my birthday, BB's birthday, and Mother's Day. I will be 41, BB will be 9, and well, Mother's Day is always busy. Friday night, BB has a baseball game, and I am hoping that Saturday we get to go to a fly-in at a friend's neighborhood who happens to live in a subdivision made specifically for people who own planes and helicopters. It has its own airport! BB will LOVE that! :)

Well, tonight I don't know what we are eating, but I will make sure it is healthy. I have to run. I have to go get the kids before my Dad gets here. Wish me luck!

See ya later, Diary!
