Day 36

Still getting a slow start to my day. The last few days I have been 150-200 calories under, I think because I have been sleeping so much. I make sure to eat while I am up, but I wont eat to just “make the numbers”. My body is under attack right now, and I am not going to fuel the fire. I desperately want to get out of the house, but dont think I have it in me yet to get much done.  We had baked chicken over basil fettucini noodles with a tomato sauce. I oven roasted some cherry tomoatoes, only I would eat. The children and DH shy away from anything different. I try to sneak stuff in, but they have eagle eyes.I had a long conversation with my oldest daughter, 17. She is graduating this year, and is lacking motivation. Maybe it’s fear over motivation. Either way, she hasn’t a game plan for the fall. I have been encouraging and supportive, but wont jam it down her throat. I want her to make the best decision for her, and not do what someone told her to do, only to regret the decision later. I wonder if she is too young for this decision. I remember the fears I had at this age, and I also remember caving to other peoples idea’s of what was best for me. So, I struggle with this, as she does. She wants the answers given to her, and I want her to find her own answers. Who’s right? I continue to tell her I believe in her, and support her in whatever she decides to do. I know she is a strong, intelligent young woman and may just need some time and space to sort things out. Well, thats enough for now. Back to some more R & R. I’m on the road to recovery. One day at a time.
