April 15, 2002 - Healthy Living Despite TAXES

Oh, yes, today's the deadline for us Americans to mail our tax forms to the government. Our refund is long back and spent, but I did my BIL's taxes Saturday night and filed them online, so I guess I still ended up doing taxes at the last minute -- Just not mine!!

I'm writing from an undisclosed location this morning. Can you guess where? It's the home of a person we frequently mention, one who has a penchant for pecan pieeeeee. Hmmmmmm....I'll let you stew on that for a while.

Howie and I did well today. We had a couple of veggie and American cheese sandwiches on low-calorie bread for lunch, and then had pot roast and veggies, with strawberry shortcake for dessert, at this undisclosed location.

Here's today's devotional: http://davesgarden.com/journal/si/4976.html

I like how this one reminds me that there's more to me than a body. There are things which contributed to my being overweight in the first place, and I can't ignore them in my pursuit of shedding pounds. If I do, what's to stop me from slipping back into old habits of emotional eating and gaining back the weight? We're more than just physical bodies, and this is more than just mind over matter, you know?
