Chicken wings and fries night before last. Ugh. I was starving, I was very late leaving work…so I offered to take Son #1 out for dinner and he chose a restaurant called ‘Wings’. I felt so ill all day yesterday, I actually made a lunch for work today.  Mostly broccoli…not as a punishment, I actually like broccoli.
On the plus side, last night I power walked the dog for 52 minutes, and then Tiger Woods’ said - congratulations, you just recorded your fastest mile ever! Apparently my little iPod nike thingy has motivational features I hadn’t found before!  It was very funny.

I have spent the whole day in my pjs, reading. Part of me is quite happy about this; but mostly I feel like I have wasted the weekend. I did go for a 5k walk last night, and I will head out with the dog again shortly. I had my gym bag in the car all week but didn’t go anywhere near the gym.

I am working on avoiding the negative self-talk, which is quite difficult to pull off right now due to a number of things at work, and with Loverboy being so far away. The two weekends we have spent together since he moved have each led to big fights, and I haven’t figured out why. If this is going to be the pattern this is not going to be fun.

Also I am very very tired of talking about the weather! It is all anyone can talk about…snow! wind! cold! more snow! freezing rain! cold!  Please oh please just let it go! We can’t do anything about it!

On the positive side, I have been paying close attention to logging food and exercise properly. At least the weight has stopped going UP.

And I re-wrote my will. If you do not have one, start working on it right away, especially if you have kids. Even if you think your financial affairs are so minor it would be a waste of time, for your family’s sake, find out what the legal requirements are and get your will in place or up to date. What is has done to my family to have someone die without a will has been terrible.
