Heading back in the right direction...

7/18

Today was pretty much just a normal day, except for getting to go shopping.  That was the only thing that made it different.
I had my lunch - a can of my chicken salad - and then Josh, Chelle, and Corgan came and took me shopping, so I got a WalMart Walk in today, although it wasn't quite as intense as they used to be, and then Corgan just stayed with me afterward while the other two got to have a date night.  Since we have Corgan on Friday nights anyway, it all worked out real well.
For our suppers, we each made our own.  Corgan had sausage biscuits (two packs), I made me tuna salad - GOOD tuna salad, with pickle relish and hard-boiled eggs, and I have no idea what Ron finally settled on.  Yeah, I failed at housewife duties today.  I admit it.


7/19

When I got up today, Ron and Corgan were already outside working on lawnmowers.  That was okay with me - I got the Wii balance board out, and did my Wii Fit, and hooray, I have lost almost a pound! .9 to be exact, but close enough to a pound for me.  It's going in the right direction, and I will take it!  I have been so worried that it wouldn't be - that I would have gained again - and this relieved my mind a lot.
Then the day went on.  We had our lunch at 2.  Getting the guys to come in once they've started working on a project is a whole nother story, ya know, and I just waited for them to get hungry.  Corgan had the last of those little pizzas, Ron had a frozen dinner, and I had a peanut butter and mayo (Miracle Whip) sandwich.
Soon after that, Josh texted me about tonight - about getting Corgan back - and we decided to go to Chilo Park tonight for supper.  Ron didn't want to go out, like I did (I had wanted to go to the floating restaurant down on the river (FatBoy's), but he didn't) and we had talked about it during lunch, so we decided that we would bring the meat for supper, and they would bring the sides, and that would be our supper.

So, we met for supper and it was such a pleasant evening.  A little cool - this entire week has been on the cool side, especially for July - but nice, nonetheless.  We had cheese weenies, tuna salad, potato salad, macaroni salad, cantaloupe, dry roasted peanuts, trail mix, Ruffles, and Munchos.  A feast!
Just watching the boats on the river and feeling the breeze and all was very soothing.  It felt great to get out and do something, too!  I had thought that I might walk if they decided to go, but they didn't so I didn't have to make that choice (which was good, because I would NOT have gone by that time).
I'm glad that I went down there, but I don't think I would have been able to walk.  I will give it a try one of these days, though.  I will.

I am looking forward to going to church tomorrow morning - another step in my recovery!
