July 08, 2009 great day!

Hello all!! Just got home from a Milwaukee Brewers game (they won 5-4) Woo Hoo!! Lisa surprised me by having my name on the scoreboard. She also got me a Brewers backpack, birthday baseball and a Bernie Brewer Bobblehead (in Milwaukee these bobbleheads are real popular). I had the day off today. I woke up with my stomach hurting and decided to call in. It hasn't hurt in awhile, but I'm not too worried about it. I didn't do the shakes today. I don't want to get sick of them so I decided to do a 1500 calorie day. I had some pork and beans for lunch and Lisa and I stopped at Subway before the Brewers game. I ordered a foot long Oven Roasted Chicken Breast with no cheese, lots of veggies and yellow mustard. I used to get them with extra cheese and southwest sauce. The sandwich calorie total was 690 calories. It didn't help that Subway was right next to Papa Murphy's (my favorite!!). During the game the high prices of all the food made it easy to fight the desire to eat. I can't see spending a small fortune on hot dogs and nachos. Being cheap can come in handy :-) After the game I jokingly said, I could really go for Taco Bell. Funny thing is, last week I probably would have stopped there on the way home. I remembered that I still had a 4lb can of peanuts in my trunk that I won a few weeks back at the fair. The old me would have popped them open and placed them right next to me on the seat.
Tonight I wore a Brewers shirt over a longer shirt that I had tucked in. This enabled me to wear the smaller Brewer shirt without a possibility of having my stomach hang out. I will wear that shirt by itself someday soon!! I did a small inventory on t-shirts today. I must have about 150 in the "someday" pile and about 10 in the "this is all you have to chose from" pile. I have some really cool shirts that I am dying to wear. I want to take a picture of myself trying on one of the smaller shirt as a before picture.
I know there aren't alot of followers on my blog yet, but I want to mention a man that is a true inspiration. My mom turned my on to his blog last week and I have been using it as a "if he can, I can" wakeup call. His name is Sean Anderson. I suggest to anyone trying to lose weight or not to read his blog. The address is http://losingweighteveryday.blogspot.com/
It is getting easier everyday. I am trying to picture the person that I am going to be. The person that I want to be. The person I deserve to be!

Peace and happiness!
