Today is our 61st Anniversary. Also, today would have been day 92 without any wine or desserts. We went out for Italian food and I did have 1 glass of wine. The waitress was preparing to give us cannolis for free for our Anniversary and I told her it would be nice for my husband but I didn't want any. The plate was beautiful with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate and it had just the one cannoli plus whipped cream and berries. I'm really proud of myself for not having any. When we came back from a trip to Europe (ending in France) twenty years ago I was eating a minimum of 3 desserts a day. I swore off desserts and went for 6 years without them. I hope I can do the same again. I will continue counting because it helps me but I haven't decided how to list the 1 glass of wine. I can just list the days and say: except one. And maybe I'll tell myself I can have another one at the end of October for my Birthday. Since I'm not losing any weight I still really, really want to do this for my brain. Also the intermittent fasting I do is important for my brain. I fast 16 hours a day about 90 or 95% of the time.
I wasn't even sure we'd make it out to dinner since my husband was angry at me last night and again today. That is a regular thing. But we had a nice time. I almost didn't make reservations and just skip it. Funny thing, it turned out to be a blessing to me. How good the Lord is, to give us water in the desert. When things are going badly it's easy to close ourselves off in protection of our hearts and mind. But I only had to be open. Thank you, Lord for your many blessings.
I haven't been able to exercise for 2 weeks because of painful sciatica: pain down the leg due to lower back problems. Our daughter has Covid for the 2nd time. They are coming to visit a couple of days in a little more than a week. I need to organize my "preps" and straighten up as much as possible.
