Oh, what a beautiful mornin’,
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I got a beautiful feelin’
Ev’erything’s goin’ my way.
- Lyrics from the musical Oklahoma
Do you like starting the morning with a song? My mother raised us to appreciate musical theater, singing and dancing. But a beautiful, light feeling in the morning, with a song? That’s a great way to begin any day.
Because I woke up early easily today, I was able to get the chuck roast started sooner than normal. Ideally I’d prefer the chuck roast to cook for 24 hours, but my mother complains about the delicious smell wafting through the house in the middle of the night. So I’m going to a slow roast most of the day, and then boost to high temps the last couple hours. My mother also requested onion seasoning with our normal salt and pepper. Should taste delicious!
Meal 1 – 6 oz ham + 4 scrambled eggs + 2 oz Jarlsberg cheese
Snack – 2 serving string cheese
Meal 2 – 2 lb chuck roast (cooked down to about 1.5 lb)
Snack – 2 serving string cheese + large Coke Zero
Today I ate more than the prior 2 weeks, like I’ve been eating more since this past Saturday. This Sunday’s weigh-in will reveal if the scale reflects the amount of calories I’ve eaten.
Cravings: Nothing when I woke up, but icy Coke Zero as I was running an errand.
Energy: I woke up so easily today, it’s a miracle! Euphorically danced to two of my favorite songs in the morning before work. I was laughing and enjoying myself so much. 🙂
So happy for today, and happy that God gave us the ability to feel every emotion!
