My body isn't cooperating today, congested/headachy and sneezing....and, yikes, slept til 2:30 pm.....so, obviously not a high energy productive day!!! However, fewer hours to eat and fewer calories taken in!!!! That's definitely one advantage of sleeping 12 hours...

Today is "new food ad" day and who would have thought I'd be so excited about cherries and cantaloupes??? They are all on sale this week....I already have blueberries to start eating tomorrow but will be fun to get some other fruit next time I'm at the store....tomorrow will be my last egg breakfast in Phase One....my plan is to have 2-3 egg breakfasts a week in Phase Two which I think I can handle. My "favorite" way to make them is to cook up some asparagus/mushrooms and onions in the melted butter then scramble the eggs in the pan...dump them into a soup dish then sprinkle with cheese and into the mircrowave to melt....top with a good handful of nice cold chopped tomatoes and a scoop of sour cream...(must put enough sour cream on to share with Cookie who is interested in anything on my plate)....

I had a vivid dream last night. I was with friends at an amusement park type of place...but it was a candy factory...we sat in chairs and were fed a big plase of pizza...in the dream, I pulled off all the cheese and sent the bread away!! There was more in the dream but I thought it was interesting that I sent the pizza dough away.....

I was watching a program on PBS about "rewiring your brain" and it repeated something I've known for years.....it takes 21 days for the wiring in our brains to register a new habit and eliminate an old one. Not that it's "permanently" rewired, but after 21 days the new habit is in place and the old one is broken...which is one reason that I am committed to staying on the program....will never know if that 21 day rule is true unless I really TRY.....
