Chilly Big D!

Whew! Finally done with the cleansing diet. Though I'm happy to be done with it. There's a certain amount of training that's occurred during the 10 days of it so now everything I eat that I haven't been eating I feel guilty about. I had a tuna sandwich for lunch and I currently can't stop feeling as though I cheated on my diet. All I had was a tuna sandwich too. No chips, no wheat thins, nothing with it...just the sandwich and I have nothing but guilt. Geez! Not sure why but this time of doing the cleansing diet was super hard for me. Oh sure I had my good days but I had more bad days then I remember having in the past when I've done it.

It's a chilly day here in Big D! Cloudy skies overhead and light rain off and on. I had to stop messing with the lighter jackets and pull out my winter coat today. Oh get this, the forecast for yesterday claimed we would experience unseasonal temps. It was supposed to be 80 degrees yesterday. To this news Cody immediately went to the closet to pull out his swim trunks and then asked for some sunscreen SPF 30. While outside early yesterday I was skeptical about the temp hike as I glanced at the cloud cover over us. By the time we walked out of church we thought maybe there was a possibility it could burn off and warm up to the predicted 80 degrees allowing Cody to bask in the sun. But wait, just about 45 minutes later we came outside to immediately notice the temps had gone the other way. It was suddenly cooler. I knew at that point the 80 degree warm-up was a farce. There was no chance the temps were climbing up that high. As the day rounded out we had nothing but cloudy skies and spotty rain. I doubt the temp got up to 65. Needless to say Cody's swim trunks have once again been put back in the closet! LOL!

For most of November our weather has been unpredictable. Then again that's the best way to describe Dallas any time of the year. Still though the weather can't decide if it wants us to experience full blown winter or tease us with some perfect days. I have a feeling as we inch closer and closer to December winter temps will be here to stay and it will stop giving us those perfect days mixed in with colder days. Today is the perfect beef stew and cornbread day! Yum! Too bad we won't be having anything like that!
