Day 2 Skailark Tu-Tu Challenge

Today is Day 2 and I started out hurried and unprepared.  Stopped at the convenience store for a wheat and blueberry breakfast bar and banana.  Lunch was good with a salad, small cottage cheese, low fat dressing and fake crab (fish) and a cup of old fashioned vegetable soup.

On the way home, found out my dear friend Michael can not breathe on his own and is on a ventilator (in ICU in Minneapolis).  It doesn't look good and it is hard to imagine that this gentle man may leave us at the tender age of 55.  What a hole will be created to so many without him.  

Tonight I have vacillated back and forth from staying on plan and honoring the assistance he gave me in my journey .. to eating anything that isn't nailed down to fill up the emptiness, sadness and helplessness I am feeling.  Emotional eating - no, no, no ..

I have learned better .. but I am waging a personal battle tonight .. and the thought of Skailark in a tu-tu or me in a clown costume is helping me to stay grounded.  The humor and good spirit of the wonderful members of the community are helping me to smile despite the tears that spill over every now and then.
