Today has been a much better day for me. While the food choices have not been perfect (when are they anymore), I have eaten much less. The good news is I am heading home tomorrow and life will be getting closer to normal. My family and I have an extremely full weekend of yard cleanup and garden preparation. I suspect we could work all weekend on the yard and not be anywhere close to done. Lots of limb hauling and brush burning ahead of us. I am going to focus on clearing the area for my garden, get it prepared, and then get the rest of the yard done. I doubt I will get a walk in all weekend, but I assure you there will be no lack of exercise.
Just in case you are thinking about using Mediacom as you cable/Internet/phone provider — don’t! I am sure they do fine for a lot of people, but they are losing customers left and right in my area. My wife called me today and let me know that the cable TV is out again. I am so happy we have switched our Internet at home to DSL. In just a few weeks we will have our new Direct TV also. I have never had a business entity that I have been so happy to quit doing business with.
My South Beach Diet food journal for the day is as follows:
My flight leaves at 7:30 in the morning. It is incredibly windy tonight, so I hope that doesn’t mean delays. I don’t have a lot of flexibility in my schedule tomorrow. Only a 48 minute layover in Houston. With any luck I will be home on time.
