(borrowing from Info this morning)

Day 415: Calories 1573: Weight 180.6 (down 2.2 lbs)

My eardrums have been tickled this morning by Michael McDonald, Eric Clapton, Counting Crows, Al Green, James Taylor, and Evanescence as I rode my elliptical machine. Thank you Sarah for reminding me how much fun it is to listen to music on my ipod as I work out!! Only problem is I sometimes try to sing along ... LOL!!!

I didn't expect a 'loss' this morning as I had a couple of glasses of Pinot Grigio and some cashews last night after dinner. Must have been the good night's sleep!! I replaced my pillows, took a melatonin and slept GREAT last night. I absolutely did not want to get up this morning.

A return visit to the dentist is on the horizon for today. The temporary crown I had on the tooth he worked on (which he could not get off to do the root canal) came off Friday when I bit into a piece of Sourdough Bread!!! So, back to his office today to make sure all is 'well' with the tooth-in-process and perhaps to have the temporary crown glued back on ... temporarily!! The tooth hasn't bothered me a bit since I had it worked on last week so that is a bit of good news.

I hear rumor that there may be sunshine today. That would be most welcome. Yesterday was overcast with intermittent showers. Snow has also been 'rumored' but if it does snow I do not expect it will 'stick.' I'm hoping the sunshine rumor is the correct one ... not the snow rumor.

Time to ponder what I am grateful for this morning ...

1. feeling tired AND being able to sleep last night!!
2. finding some new pillows at Costco that I actually liked and didn't cost me an 'arm' and a 'leg'
3. grateful for learning, in small incremental steps, that I am NOT destined to be BIG girl ...
4. my family, my friends, my job, my life
5. being able to be 'present' in the midst of difficulty

Have a Terrific Tuesday!!! I must forage for food ... what to eat for breakfast, what to pack for lunch, and of course finish up getting ready for work. Take care my friends ... see you in your journals!!
