Posting for today
Uncategorized June 15th, 2009I’m just going to post something just so I can say I did. If I wait until I have something profound to post I’ll never get around to posting.
I’ve starting posting all the food I eat on another site. For now I’m not making any major changes I’m just journalling to see where my weak points are. The funny thing so far is the amount of calories I use in “snacks” throughout the day. I don’t know why I should be surprised but it is nice to see in black and white the areas I need to work on.
Last night I took a few minutes and cut up some veggies into three small baggies - one for each day, Monday through Wednesday. And then later I made a sandwich to take today. It was nice to have my own food. One of the problems with packing a lunch though is that I then don’t have an excuse to go out at lunch - so I made myself go out for a walk. Oh, my, it was a lovely day and I just explored around the neighbourhood of work a bit. It is nice to work in an area that is walkable. Many people live in the area and there is this great park a block or so over. There were many people just lounging around, reading books, most of them with their bikes thrown on the grass beside them. What do these people do for a living that they have all this spare time?
The DH is heading out tonight so I’m talking the opportunity to make stuff that I like but that he doesn’t care for for dinner: Tofu, asparagus and sweet potatoes. I’m going to make two servings and then have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
You know, I sometimes think living alone would make parts of this who journey easier. I would wake up earlier and eat better - but then I would miss out on a great many good things so I can deal with my bad influence in the house.

Nice to see you back.. don’t go away anymore!
I ama BIG fan of prepping ahead so good for yuo. Isn’t it nice to just grab and go?
I had the same thought when I was back in GA visiting my mother. She lives near a golf course that always had people on it. I kept asking her, don’t those people have JOBS?

I totally agree with you on the living alone part….it certainly would make things so much easier…but then I would miss out on so much that is centrally important to who I am!!! It just means with the good, we need to take the bad, I guess! LOL

Let me know when you figure out what those people do to have all that time on their hands. I’d like to get into that club.

Nice you have a park to go to. Not many quiet places for me to go at lunchtime, but I let to get outside. I hope all those people lounging around aren’t unemployed!

How nice that you have a park so close and a walkable neighborhood for work! Packing ahead is so critical–wish I did more of it…hahaha. Definitely it is easier to control the shopping, fridge, pantry, menus, etc. when there is no one else to care and prepare for…! And if it’s there…alas I always eat some of it…Blech to that. It’s hard to create a home environment that promotes success.
