JOURNAL ENTRY

"My friend in Moroni just told me that Costco in Provo has cook in the bag turkey breasts (from the Sanpete area turkey farms) for sale.  I have tried them and they are really good.  So far the Provo location is the only one that has them, and they are “selling like hotcakes” there.  They are hoping to get into the Salt Lake stores soon.  They are really struggling with the turkey farms in Sanpete County, so everything will help them.  Also there is a store in Moroni (I think it is in Moroni) that you can get all sorts of good turkey items.  If you have not already discovered it let me know and I will get you the address.  Woody and I stopped there about a year ago and it was wonderful.
I have been really good (for me) this week.  I actually got up yesterday and today and fixed me breakfast before work!  Quite an accomplishment for me!  I bought turkey bacon and cooked that and since eggs (the yokes) are not great with me first thing in the morning I bought the egg whites in the dairy section.  Yesterday I scrambled them with sliced mushrooms.  Today I forgot to wash and slice the mushrooms first, so I added some fresh salsa I had in the fridge (tomatoes, etc!).  I have found that I did better at not being hungry longer in the morning.  Yesterday was busy so I did not get to eat my salad (fresh spinach, mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and some BIG shrimp I had left over from New Years that needed to me eaten, with a few pine nuts, and Italian dressing that was low in sugar) until about 2:00.  I did eat about 5 almonds (chewed and chewed) in between.  But since I did not get to eat my salad, and I nibbled at it for almost two hours (should not eat while working – bad for diet and well as bad eating habits), I was not hungry last night even when I went to bed at 10:00 (early for me also).  So I really did better yesterday.  And I did better at drinking water, which I need a lot of improvement on.
Hope everyone is doing well for week one.  I am rather encouraged so far.  Hope to keep that up.  However, I do miss the chocolate and the Coke, but I am getting better – even when Trevor went to the garage and brought up a cold Coke and asked me if I wanted to share!  I told him to stay out of my stash (just in case).  Actually I do better if I know I have chocolate or Coke in the house – just in case.  Not sure why this mentally works for me, but it seems to."
