Its not the jeans that make me look fat — its the FAT!!!

Posting LOL.  I ate rather well yesterday I would have been happier with myself if I had recorded and measured everything.  But one part, one day at a time is the trick.  My goal today (I will report back tomorrow) is to get up from my desk at 3:30 today and go for a walk around our lovely campus.  The babies should be out and about in the creek - well worth the walk just for that reason.

Speaking of babies we had a nest of squirrels in our deck - I believe they have been there for several weeks.  On Sunday we noticed quite a mess of “stuff” from the nest so we started sweeping and cleaning and they started scratching around.  Monday morning two of the darling babies were on the deck and mom was up on the railing running around.  There was a third one that they didn’t allow to come out.  By the afternoon they were gone — I had called our strata to get the “problem” taken care off.  Thank goodness for the internet and being able to research.  We found out they do desert their nests and all we have to do is block any entry during the next nesting seasons.  So they are all out and safe and we don’t need to worry about finding a humane trapping company.  I love watching the little beasties in the trees in our back yard - all the birds and wildlife is fun.  Not like what I had in our old house - we had the bigger wildlife including bears.  My dear departed dog would go wild when a bear was in our back yard– she had a totally different bark for the size of the animal.

Ok enough of the Audobon Society - I am just pleased to do a blog two days in a row.  Like I mentioned earlier next step is to take some steps — and then start my recording on the PDA — once I start that again the weighing and measuring will become second nature.

I have to admit I am quite thrilled that I no longer crave “bad” stuff. I can’t eat anywhere near what I used to at one sitting nor will I want to return to that. I did make a bad choice on Friday - ate way too much stroganoff (wasn’t even that good). I should have taken half of what I had on my plate and put in in a container for the next day. I paid for eating that much all evening.
Didn’t get a chance to do too much moving around - -on Saturday we were up and out early - the weather never really cleared so I wasn’t inspired to get out for a walk. My darling sweetie asked me later in the day but I just wanted to veg at that time. So two bad choices and it was only Saturday afternoon LOL.
Sunday we took my mom for brunch — she had her chemo on Thurs and still flies high from the steroids for a few days. By next Sunday she will be in a deep dark hole and not interested in going anywhere. At least we have light at the end of this tunnel. Only one more treatment left and then maybe she can have a couple of good years without too many problems. This cancer will always be lurking in the background — we have lived with it for almost 10 years but the times in between are pretty not bad for her.
I just need to get a chance to concentrate on me - get things going on an even keel. Spring is upon us - we are off on vacation in two weeks - not going anywhere so maybe we can start some good habits that week that will carry forward into summer.
