185.4/a little better/birthday/card

I really did not feel up to exercising but I got in a few steps just doing things in the house, cleaning and talking on my portable phone.  I love my phone, I spend a lot of time talking to people from church and family and why waste the time by just sitting doing nothing?  I walk sometimes I go outside and walk around and around my house but today it rained so I just walked back and forth while I talked on the phone. 

My calories went over 1500 today---it got up to 1695----ack when I saw that I stopped grazing.  You know when you go in the kitchen to check on the stew and see the grapes and you grab a handful or you taste the pork chops just to see if they taste as good as they did the last time you cooked them.  Or open the fridge to get a bit of tea and grab what ever your eye falls on.   I wrote everything down and I saw it so high and was almost shocked but then I remembered how often I had grazed.  I am so glad I do not have any junk food in the house .  I would have really messed up if I had any of that stuff here.

I am a little better today,  I did not have to take anything today untill just a few minutes ago.    So I should be ok to go to the singing tomorrow night.  I may still be a little bit hoarse but other than that I  had a good day. 

Today is my birthday, and I had several people wish me happy birthday on facebook.  My sister and dd both wished me happy birthday.  My dh bought me the sweetest card, I was so moved by it and I have it displayed on my counter in the den.This weekend he will take me out for dinner I hope we go to the Golden Corral but they moved their restaurant to the other side of town and it is a long way from where we live. 

food for today

coffee
beef stew
squash
okra
applesauce
raisens
pork chop
potatoes
berries

That is it for today

I amgoing to watch tv with dh, Bones comes on tonight and I always enjoy that show. 

I googled Alan Autry today.  He played Bubba Skinner on In the Heat of the Night.  What an interesting life he had.  After the show went off the air he became mayor of a town in California.  He is a Christian and gives God all praise for what He did.  I wish there was some way I could contact him to let him know that I admire people who publicly give God praise for what they have accomplished.

I went to school with a girl called Mary Ann Yarborough.  She was my friend in high school, and we reconnected when I was pregnant with my first child.  She had red hair and she would be about 56 or 57 years old.  I would love to hear from her.

Sleep well everyone
God bless
