I feel, on balance, positive about the week. I did pay attention to food and drink, and I did log everything so I can see my stengths and weaknesses. I did some exercise although my energy faded as the week went on. But every sit up is ‘one to the good’, as my grandma used [...]

By 4pm yesterday I was beat, so when Son #1 came by the office to try to borrow the truck I packed up and drove him around town.  Unfortunately, we shared a bag of BBQ chips on the way.  Then I went home and napped for an hour. When I surfaced it was to find [...]

I think the scale is going in the right direction, oh so slowly….today was pretty high carb, though - an all day meeting with lousy sandwiches and big chocolate cookies and not near enough coffee. No exercise, either, but tomorrow is another day!
I made a bean and veggie casserole - no recipe, just a wide [...]

A side effect of suddenly deciding to become a ‘morning’ person is I cannot also be a ‘night’ person. It is 9pm and I am ready to sleep.
List of things making me feel pretty good right now:

walked to work and back yesterday and today (yay)
ate mostly mindfully (yay); intake under control
did my core and strength [...]

I can’t believe it…I got up so early this morning the dog was not even ready….lol…he stood up, looked at me, and flopped his full weight back down on the floor! As if to say, “Lady, hit the snooze button already!” I have had breakfast; I am reading the news online; I am about [...]

It is 11pm and the crew did not start working on the water main until about 6pm…do you know that the vibration from a jackhammer really travels a long way? I pity the poor team - it is very cold and I am sure they are getting wet, but this will not be a good [...]

Thanks to the cold, the city has been experiencing a rash of water main breaks and this morning there is a river of ice and slush down my street.  As it is -27C out there, it freezes quickly once it hits the surface. I don’t know yet if my house is directly affected.  I’ll run [...]

Ok, this cannot continue. I am having real problems in the evenings. I just stuff my face, drink wine too frequently…today I feel sick to my stomach from all the food I ingested last night. It was so bad, but one good thing, at a certain point I was able to stop myself and right [...]

Total chinese food blowout. Awful. Awful. And it wasn’t even very good. Just greasy and filling. What the %$#@ is going on in my head these days?  Bad stuff.

Not a good day. High fat, high carb (chocolate covered almonds AND a cookie), low protein and 0 exercise. In my defense - no, no excuses. Just a bad, lazy day.
Sigh.
