So I slept in and skipped breakfast. Lunch was looking pretty good - salad, veggie burger with veggie cheese, and water. Then we added Activia yogurt. No problem. Then....that cake was still sitting on the counter. Yes, it's the one we all cut into last night and the same one that my lovely friends got as a gift at Christmas and carefully wrapped in Saran Wrap and put in the freezer until I arrived. Did I feel like having a piece of cake? "No, I'll wait until dinner." But then, the husband decided to have a piece. With a twinkle in her eye, the wife decided to have a small piece also. There wasn't really any pressure one way or the other for me, but I didn't need it. I was just feeling so darn carefree that I just said, "Oh, give me a piece!" Then I added 2 scoops of ice cream, because what is cake without it's sidekick? I chuckled in my mind, thankful that I'd tried their exercise bike for a mere 5 minutes that morning. :)
Anyway, we walked a bit in a mall and had tea and a piece of pumpkin bread that afternoon. In the evening I ate a burrito-in-a-bowl....kind-of a mexican salad: rice, black beans, tomatoes, sour cream, hot sauce, lettuce, cheese, and chicken. YUMMY! Then I had more cake and ice cream! HA!
Bad day for my eating, perhaps, but a great day for my spirit! We just talked and laughed and cried and prayed.... My friends bless me SO much! I'm so glad they've taken time out of their lives just to be with me!
