Twas The Night Before

So today, Sunday is the night before my new diet plan and I have really spoiled myself!  I had 2 Ghiradelli chocolates - fruit filled - so good! and Carl's Jr.  We went to see Craig's mom in the ICU in Idaho Falls and saw his dad and brother and his family and broke the Sabbath by going to Michael's (I had a 40% off coupon!) and then we were hungry and Carl's just opened up and I really LOVE it!  Surprisingly enough I am quite excited to start this new journey!  Part of it is I know it's time to do this and so many other changes in my life also.  And the other part of it is I don't have to come up with new things to eat all the time - they are already ready!  The convenience is a huge part of it.  Plus on Tuesday - Happy Mardi Gras! - I am fasting for the ward.  I will be making a King Cake for my family and having just one bite.  This plan will help me with portion control - something I am horrible at!  I might be kind of a struggle tomorrow because Craig and the kids will be home for President's Day, but I think I can do it!  I think I can, I think I can, I know I can, I know I can!
