Lunch

Today's lunch: a hotdog dipped in catsup and mustard, a cup of sliced cucumber, a cup of chopped tomato, a couple of tablespoons of hummus to dip the veggies (seasoned with salt and pepper), some iced green tea, 2 small plums, and some yoplait yogurt.

The thought that came to mind is that some people might feel this meal is odd, for whatever reason. They might think that I am depriving myself of satisfaction. However, they couldn't be further from the truth. The truth is, I feel completely satisfied with this meal. It is nutritionally balanced, and low fat!! I'm getting the calcium, protein, and probiotics that yogurt affords. I'm getting fiber and nutrition from the veggies, not to mention it's no fat! The hot dog has around 5 or 6 grams of fat, but, it also contains about the same amount of protein, so I eat it.

It's still hard for me to receive compliments from people about my physical appearance. For example, Christine and another girl remarked how good I looked today after worship service. And, in my heart, I know that they were both being sincere! And, a part of me wanted to drink in their words to me, but another part of me was pushing their words away. Why do I do that, I wonder? Anyways, I do appreciate the honor she gave me today by saying something kind about my current physical status, even if it is hard to receive, I'll take it.

So, I am planning to work out next Sunday morning, before worship service starts, and then get ready quickly and leave class a tiny bit early so I can get to worship service ON TIME!! Hopefully that'll happen.

I haven't exercised yet today. I could this afternoon, if I wanted. But, I also have other things to do. What should I do? What should I do? Maybe I can read a chapter in the Dan Miller book I am reading, AND THEN go to the gym!! THAT could work!

I am looking forward to my friend coming over after worship service tonight to use my jacuzzi together. So, whatever I want to do, reading and gym wise will have to be done this afternoon if I am to do anything.

Until next time...
