Morning all,
It is stormy here this morning. It rained a lot yesterday, last night, and the thunder woke me up around 6:15 this AM. I laid in bed for a while. I was sort of scared to get up and shower, the storm was so bad. I was glad I had a dog to walk yesterday afternoon. I was tired and could have easily sat like a lump and eaten a bunch of food. Instead I sucked it up and walked the dog, despite the rain, almost 4 miles (I'm sure Dagmar does this frequently
). I still had two extra snacks when I got home from rehearsal. Will try to do better today. I slept a bit better last night but still not completely normally.
John, I really like how comprehensive the food database is, too. I used to use fitday on the computer and liked the detailed nutrition reports but had to enter a lot of my own custom foods. It seems I did turn off the "If every day were like this, you'd weigh XXX lbs in 5 weeks" feature, whew.
I'm at work so I don't want to go to the link but if you google "Oh She Glows" + "Salt and Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas" the recipe should pop right up. I love salt & vinegar flavor. These certain don't replace the chips, but are salty and crunchy and weirdly addicting.
Dagmar, at least your dad is on many official records as disregarding the doctor's advice. Hang in there.
A friend loaned me one of those chip makers, too. I have yet to try it. I should just give it back. I don't need a rarely used item in my small kitchen.
Kery, you will take control over those kids! I know you can do it! My mom is a teacher and at the program she used to teach she had "good" classes and "bad" ones. The bad made her really appreciate the good.
Happy New Year to those who are celebrating!
I brought some iced tea from home as a "special" drink this afternoon, though I might switch to hot tea. I'll try to stick to tea and the healthy snacks this afternoon rather than give in to munchies. It's going to be a long, rainy day in the office.
