Today. Yep, it's another Monday. How to make it special??? I think I will send my husband a love eLetter. Spending some time reflecting on what a wonderful person he is is a nice way to start the day. He is amazing and I love him sooooooo much.

Somehow I lost track of time this morning and didn't get to eat breakfast. I don't even know how long it has been since I actually didn't get to eat breakfast. I went ahead and ate the whole apple that we were supposed to split for AM snack. I AM NOT GOING TO EAT FROM THE VENDING MACHINES. I am still pretty hungry, but not as bad as before the apple. I still have the AM snack cottage cheese for an hour from now. I think lunch will be early today!

This pair of slacks I am wearing today fits very well. The others of the same size, brand, and style, fit too baggy. ??? I am pondering buying my slacks an extra size too small and just wearing these until they are falling off, instead of just baggy. Hmmm. I will think about that more.

The new shirt that I bought last week shrank in the wash. I was a little upset at first, but I am okay now. I only need to lose a few more pounds to wear it again. And it really didn't even look too bad, just a little more snug than I like my shirts.

Well, off to write to Prince Charming....

I just read my "Word for the Day" e-mail. It seemed fitting to today, so I thought I would it add it here:

Make today a masterpiece! 27 Mar 2006

'TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, THAT WE MAY PRESENT TO THEE A HEART OF WISDOM.' PSALM 90:12

((Removed the text 'cause it was too long))

Update: GOOD GRAVY!!! I just can't seem to "catch up" on food since missing breakfast today. I have been hungry almost ALL DAY LONG! I want to eat an entire side of beef (ewwwww!). We had plans to make some tortellini today for dinner, but all I want is peanut butter/fish/pork/beef/beans/chicken! I know the beef would not do well in my system, but I want it anyway. Geez this sucks. Next time everyone is late to school and work if this ever happens again.

Double cheese-burger and large chili cheese fries from Sonic are my best friend. <not> Gawd that sounds good...but I know I will be doubled-over with stomach cramps and be spending the rest of the night with the toilet if I do it.....

I will never miss breakfast the rest of the days of my life.

More: I decided I was going to eat whatever I felt like I wanted at dinner tonight, without any regard for the nutritional value. I WAS GENUINELY HUNGRY. Well, guess what? Aside from having consumed more than 2 times the sodium I should have each day, I stayed under calories, did better on the fats than most days, and got most of my fiber and protien for the day. Yay for me. Small successes ROCK.

I think I am going to check into this intuitive eating thing I have read a little about. Aside from over-feeding myself for decades for habitual reasons mostly, I am pretty in tune with my body. We'll see what that is all about.
