If I can make it through today I think I am set. The only day that I can foresee as more difficult is Emma's Birthday. One of my coworker's dad works for Nabisco and apparently every now and again he has a lot of merchandise to get rid of. She brought in a box full of boxes of Oreos, animal cookies, Nutter Butter bars, Ritz Chips, Crystal Light, etc. Not just any Oreos either, White Fudge covered ones. I was able to refrain completely. I managed to go for a short(3/4 mi) walk and ate my homemade lunch. Luckily I had a really good podcast interview with Donald Miller I wanted to listen to on my walk so it wasn't too difficult to leave the food.

Emma and I had a good lunch. She has discovered bologna and will wildly wail for "No-ney" at lunchtime. It is pretty fun eating with her since I can actually eat my food and don't have to worry about feeding her. The funny thing is to watch her imitate EVERYTHING I do at the table. If I lick my plate she will. If I dip my sandwich into sauce she will. No matter how normal or strange a behavior she wants to try it. I guess this is probably the best time to start showing her how to eat healthy stuff like vegetables. Now I just need buy some and actually eat them. Anyway here is what I had today.
