Day 786: Don't Wait
Today is day 786 of Nutrisystem. This quotes fits well with my "do your best" theme. Doing your best doesn't mean perfection and everything doesn't have to be perfect in order for you to enjoy your life. I occasionally watch Joyce Meyers on tv and she talks about real life issues with a little bit of religion mixed in. I don't consider myself to be a religious person but you don't have to be in order to enjoy the topics she discusses, because they relate to everyday lives of everyday people. She throws in some humor as well ! I waited years for my life to be perfect and I've only recently come to accept the fact that it never will be. Expecting perfection is unrealistic and I wasted so many years chasing it. I think right now today my life is pretty darn near close to perfect. I've also realized that perfect is going to be different for everyone. For me, perfect is a roof over my head, a car in the driveway, my health, a healthy family and financial security. I have all that and there is nothing I can honestly say I want or need. I can't take credit for all of it ... I still believe there was a lot of Divine Intervention that helped get me through the past few years and brought me to where I am today. I put in some hard work but that was only after the path was cleared for me. I will always be grateful.
From a food perspective, Saturday's have pretty much become the day I eat a few more calories. I'm ok with that so I'm not counting them anymore. Breakfast was a cherry cheese roll and a Light & Fit strawberry cheesecake yogurt. After that I was out for the day. I took Mom out for a late breakfast/early lunch before the casino and I had an omelet with sausage, spinach and cheddar cheese. It was supposed to be an egg white omelet but the waitress goofed on the order and I couldn't see sending it back just for that. I rarely have eggs and it was delicious ! I also had italian toast and a few of mom's home fries. At the casino I had a veggie burger with broccoli at Upstate Tavern in Turning Stone Casino. I only ate half of the bun and had a few of mom's fries. We resisted the urge to have our favorite pecan bourbon cake dessert ! I did have a caramel macchiato coffee after dinner and I bought an m&m cookie but ended up bringing that home. We went to Point Place Casino after Turning Stone. Mom had a good day and I lost a few dollars but had a lot of fun. I also treated myself to a bracelet and a necklace at the casino jewelry store, instead of feeding all my money to the slots ! I did not drink much water today and I was dying of thirst by the time I got home ! I had a glass of skim milk and an oatmeal cookie. When I am super thirsty I crave milk ! There was no exercise today and Saturday has pretty much become my rest day. Fitbit says I did about 9,000 steps. The day started off rainy and in the 40's but by the time we left Turning Stone the rain was gone and temps had dropped into the 30's. Tomorrow looks to be about the same - rainy and in the 40's. It'll be a good day for grocery shopping ! On that note it's about time for a shower and bed. I had a great Saturday !
