Another day another cup of tea

So today saw the first weight change down 2 lbs to 273 which is a small victory in its self. But The real issue today was coffee headaches. Its surprising how much affect coffee has on us. I dont get headaches very often at all and if I do they never last but today was wicked. I wasnt sure if I could take an asprin so i tried to tough it out most of the day but in the end I succumed to the pain. I was shaky as well which makes me think that maybe Ill stay off coffee. The salt water flush did its thing this morning which was good because I was a little worried about toxin build up if it wasnt going to work. Tomorrow is supposed to be the killer a far as food is concerned and then down hill after that.
On a very positive note at the end of our little group kast night I prayed that sam and I would start getting more work and today I got two calls and landed one of the jobs and am going to look at the other tomorrow as well as a contractor that we have done a couple of decks for in the past called to say he would have one ready at the end of march. I should have maybe prayed for work alittle sooner. I had been trying not to ask for things when I prayed these days just prayers of thanksgiving instead of always showing up with a shopping list but God does want to bless us so I maybe need to rethink the strategy. The countdown is on for Sams wedding and our Good friends Mark and Heather should be back from Kitimat tomorrow. very exciting! Oh yeah and I think my sister is back from antigua today or maybe tomorrow which is cool too!

Keep up with your diet, it sounds good. And that's pretty exciting about the work! The amazing thing is that God loves us to come with a shopping list...and thanksgiving, too, you are right.
I got back yesterday from Antigua and it sure was nice to sleep in a real bed and eat some real food. I smuggled quite a bit of rum home, and didn't get caught in customs, which is awesome.
