April 17 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Today has been a totally lazy day. I needed this day after what I did yesterday. My knees needed the break.
I'm thankful for sleeping in, though I probably got the same number of hours of sleep as usual. I went to bed an hour later than usual.
I'm thankful for the easy day. I also stopped a cold in its tracks. It wanted a piece of me, but I wasn't about to allow anything to get me out of sorts. I've been in my PJ lounging jammies all day, with a bathrobe. I killed whatever tried to attack.
I'm thankful for the work I accomplished on Vendetta after I finished the notifications this morning. I'm steadily moving toward the finish line.
I'm thankful for the movie I watched today. Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring. Though I've seen it many times now and can say the lines with the actors, I watched the action and how the movie moved from scene to scene. It's an interesting way to watch a movie and enlightening.
I'm thankful for the way I'm doing this diet. I continue to lose weight. I'm not down to where I hoped to be this weekend, but I'm close. I'll get there next week. It looks like I'm doing two fruit days with one meal followed by a meal day - two meals with just as much fruit as the fruit days. I'm doing my best to keep stocked on fruit. The fruit might also be why I was able to kick the cold into the outer atmosphere.
Okay, that's been my day with two episodes of NCIS. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

We had a relaxing day today also. It rained some this morning and left us with an afternoon of clouds and then some light rain later on. I'm thankful we didn't have any downpours today as the ground is super soggy. I cooked today and ran to the store in town to stock up on paper towels and toilet paper. That's my day for the most part!

Wow... I envy your diet. I'm trying to get into it as well. Take care also and be safe. Take it easy.

Yes, better to keep the cold away. I might have some fruit later on today. As of now, I have my tea time coming up.
I did like Lord of the Rings Part II and III more but yes the first part is important in the overall story flow.

I was going to ask how you kicked the cold but you're probably right that it was all that fruit. Did you read about this diet somewhere or make it up or what?
On the fruit days you have fruit for breakfast and lunch and a meal for supper or you do fruit one whole day and the next day have a meal before having two meals and fruit with that?
Has this helped you jump start your previous diet?
I'm thankful for being married as long as I have. I'm thankful I have another appointment with the wound center this week.
I'm thankful it will be warmer today even though I won't be in it enjoying it.

@just4him snow might be headed out way but it's coming from Iowa so might miss you. It might end up going around us. It's too early to tell.

I'm still doing the Paleo diet. I'm not making it up as I go. The fruit is part of the diet. I know fruit is good for weight loss, so I focused on the fruit. I have fruit throughout the day. On the day that is mostly fruit, I eat a regular meal between 3 and 5 in the afternoon. On meal days, I have breakfast and the later meal with fruit throughout the day. It's working.
I hope all goes well with the wound doctor. I'm glad you've had a good long marriage.
Warm here too. I'm glad you have a beautiful day.

We all need those lazy days. I had an almost lazy day myself. Though I'll admit, Chilly has the worst timing, ever. I love him, though. I'm thankful for him and his cuddles (even if they happened when I wanted to get out of bed)

Like you I am thankful for the lazy day Mike and I enjoyed. With revival this week at church and working yesterday at the church, I needed a day to just be at home. My body let me know I needed rest.
I'm also thankful Mike's brother Rick and wife Ann are here with Mike's mom for a weeks visit. He wanted to come in for his birthday which is next week. Last one he celebrated with his Mom he was a teenager.

I had a wonderful day, stayed home most of the time. Tonight I enjoyed reading a wonderful book. Jay's watching basketball on tv, so I was on My Lot for a while. I'm happy our flowers are finally blossoming.

Those days are needed sometime! That's good you stopped the cold before it came on fully. Fruit probably did help a lot!
