Thursday

Today has been a better day. I am feeling pretty good. No major pain, just the normal stuff. I didn't take a nap today at all... When things are bad, I will take 2 a day sometimes. I love that today was good though. I sat outside for a total of about 4 hours today while the kids played in the yard in the pool and with the hose. I got to take Asher for his 10 year check up and that was great! He is in the 85% for height and weight. That is quite a change for my little baby. He has always been tall but super skinny. "Super Doc" says he looks great and is super healthy. I praise God that he has given us really great pediatricians since Ethan was a baby.
I started my food diary today for my Dr. I have weighed and measured everything I ate so I can have an accurate calorie count for the day. I ended with 130 calories left. I try to stay between 1000 and 1500 calories. I don't want too many, but I also don't want too little. I guess it is a super fine line. I am eating things I would be eating anyway just measuring it, watching serving sizes and all that. In fact for dinner, I ate twice the amount I would have if I hadn't measured it out. On the other hand, I probably would have had cake or ice cream for dessert after, so I guess I ended up with less calories that way. I don't know what the dr. is wanting to see other than making sure I am not lying about how much I eat. I know it is hard for skinny people to look at a heavy person and believe them that they don't over eat. Ah well, maybe this will show him. Or me. Maybe I do eat  more calories than I think I do... It will be a learning experience either way.
Tomorrow... is Friday! YAY! That means my honey has 1 more day of work then he will be home with us for the weekend! I am sad that we have lost a day of weekend with his new schedule, but I like the hours better because he gets home most nights before I am dead asleep.
Thank you God for a good day. Thank you for the beauty that you created for us to enjoy. Thank you for the warm day and nice breeze. Thank you for my boys that I got to enjoy it with. Thank you for my husband that works so hard for us and loves us so much. Thank you that he loves You more.
