Already a Challenge to the Challenge

I found out today that I will be taking a work trip in February. February 11 to be exact! As I said in yesterday's post, I wanted to do this when I wouldn't have something going on in the first couple of weeks. I don't want to push out further than I already am so...with Donna's okay, we're going to start the challenge after our Portland trip. This means 1/22 will be Day 1.
Last night I pulled out my Calorie King book and mini notebook so I could start tracking now and start getting my body used to 1500 calories. I have to say that it's been a bit of a shock to my tummy. I didn't do well with my breakfast today. I ate something that was about as high in calories as my usual breakfast (steel cut oats, 1/2 T margarine, 1/4 cup egg beaters mixed with 1 egg) but not nearly as filling. I woke up late and didn't have any steel cut oats already cooked like usual. Lesson learned! Have them cooked or let them cook while in the shower and eat after I get dressed.

You guys couldn't have chosen a better start date! 1/22/2007

As we have discussed in our classes, according to the limited understanding I have of numerology--222 supposedly symbolizes a new beginning, is proof that your ideas are about to grow into reality, and is a sign that you are on the right path, doing the right thing and headed in the right direction!

That's for darn sure! :)

Way to go--on turning your first seeming challenge around.

It's all perfect and Divine Timing is always at work. Thank You, God!

Love you,
Kathy
