February 3, 2008 Super Bowl Sunday

The GIANTS won the Super Bowl!!!

We actually ran out to Dick's Sporting Goods as soon as the game was over. They had said that when the Giants won, they'd reopen and stay open until midnight to sell all the Super Bowl Champion stuff. So at 10:15, after Mom and Dad left, Deb and I loaded the 3 kids into the car and off we went. (yes, I'm the totally coolest Mom on earth right now!--but I'd figured the game would go until 10:30 or 11, so it was still "early").The kids got short sleeved T-shirts, I opted for a long sleeved one. And DS actually found me a car magnet!! Even Deb and Nicole got Tshirts--and they aren't even football fans. (well, European football--soccer...) So we will all be dressed alike tomorrow!!

I did pretty good with food today. My last kashi/cottage cheese/banana breakfast. A slice of pizza for lunch (I'd planned on 2, but really only wanted the one), and an apple. Dinner was my VERY yummy chili (everyone raved about it--there's barely anything left for lunch tomorrow!!) with a little cheese over rice, some homemade hummus that I didn't love, with raw veggies, and about 6 tortilla chips. Oh, and that one obscenely wonderful chocolate chip cookie that Mom baked fresh just for my last hurrah! And, for the last time, my bedtime snack of Cheerios and milk. (Gosh, I'm gonna miss that!!) I was low on veggies, had almost no fat (other than in the cheese and hummus), and my water was lower than usual, but it was only one day.

Tomorrow I begin with the arduous task of starting my new life without dairy, eggs and wheat. I will speak with the doctor at 10 and ask hiim my many questions (if I remember to write them all down!)

I really feel ready for this. I'm up for the challenge. I am going to be a VERY healthy traveller when we head to Scotland in July!!! I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!
