Start Of Fat Camp

Today was the first day of what we call "Fat Camp". There are no crafts, or smores by the fire but instead a counselor that makes us keep a journal of the number of fat grams we eat in a day,while she struggles to loose that annoying THREE pounds! I know that would be devastating to me!

My diet today consisted of yogart for breakfast, a chicken breast & broccoli for lunch and a taco salad for dinner....it was a great variety and good for me too.

I decided that I would do my exercise shortly after I got home for work....so about 5:45pm I headed outside. I walked past the hospital toward Peace Hospice and the Benefis Nursing Home...who do I see but Sheryl getting out of her car getting ready to head in to see her Mama and give her a couple new little sweatsuits and a couple new bras. I wanted to see where Blanche lived so inside with Sheryl I went. B is in a Alzheimer's wing...God bless the people that work with these people! One lady had peed her pants and kept saying to me "Are you gonna take me for some tests". One cute, gray haired man scooted around the room in his wheelchair continually saying how STUPID one of his fellow wing mates was. One younger, Down Syndrome
girl cried the whole time and another laid her head down on the table. They played a game called "Three Letter Words", Blanche was one of the BEST players in the room. I love watching my friend Sheryl with her mother...touching her hair, giving her a kiss when we left...makes me miss my Mama!

Anyway, back to Fat Camp. After what I witnessedat the nursing home (the smell, the man in the wheelchair spittingon the floor and the walls with spatters of food on them)you'd think I wouldn't be hungry, BUT I walked a little longer and then went and got my Taco Salad....it has to be something really bad to keep me from eating...lol.
