Attitude:
Kept very busy today. I cleaned house, and then made homemade sugar-free ketchup, then chipotle cheeseburgers w/chipotle sauce. My super sis-in-law gave us a low carb BBQ cookbook. And since I LOVE cheeseburgers, I've been experimenting with different burger recipes. Of course, we've had great weather for like a week and then as soon as I light the grill, dark clouds and sprinkles show up. Still, I've become quite a pro at grilling in the rain. My neighbors must think I'm nuts, because at least once a week they see me outside in any kind of weather grilling something. :o) I am enjoying discovering new recipes and experiencing new tastes. I'm not one for spicy, but the chipotle burgers and sauce was so yummy that I didn't mind the kick. I've noticed that my taste buds are tasting foods differently. I don't know if it is the healthier food or a healthier body or a little of both, but food just tastes so much better now. I also enjoy not being a slave to it any longer. Sure I definitely still have temptations, but I find it easier and easier to say NO. It's great to know that day by day I'm breaking the hold food has over me!

5 things I’m grateful for:
1. good friends
2. medicine (don't ask)
3. the love of my HHT
4. my preteen being willing to communicate with me (I pray that lasts!)
5. new recipes to try

5 things I did right:
1. blogged

4. tried a new food

Thank you for doing this blog. It helps me more than you know at keeping up what I am doing. I usually come read yours before or just after doing mine. And if I am having a bad day I realize to just keep moving forward as it will get better.

Another think I just noticed was our daily graphs for the last few days looks very simiular. (not the numbers but maybe soon that too) ?Really like seeing that downward movement on both of them.

Have a great day.
