Good news, but could have been better. Today is weigh-in day. I lost 2.5. It should have been more, but I have only myself to blame. I did fine yesterday up until supper, which came about 2 hours later than usual. We had to go out of state: I ate my usual breakfast at home instead of us stopping at BoJangles on the way. I had half a protein bar late morning. We stopped at Wendy's for lunch: I had a large chili and a side salad. We worked all afternoon scrubbing walls and ceilings in our empty rental property. We left there around 5:15 with a 3 hour drive home before there'd be food. I ate a half ounce of almonds. We had thought we'd stop at a favorite BBQ place and just get meat and brunswick stew to bring home, only we discovered they aren't open on Sunday. We didn't have a plan B. Fog on the mountain with zero visibility made me really squirrely. I ate the 6 saltines I had not used on my chili. I was tired, and getting really hungry. We got home at 8:30, without so much as a plan, only I knew I wasn't cooking. I decided all I wanted was scrambled eggs, and lots of them. Instead, my husband brought me 2 scrambled eggs, a slice of regular whole wheat toast, and a sliced orange. I ate it all. But I was in that zone, the point of no return, where I went far too long without eating, and I couldn't rationalize. I ended up having 2 glasses of wine, a cinnamon danish from my son's breakfast stash, and I crawled into bed with raspberry poptarts, totally exhausted. I paid for it on the scale, no doubt.
Today, I've been better. Breakfast and lunch were pretty routine. I left work at a decent time and went to the Rec Dept to begin my free membership. After enduring the application process down wind of the lady working the front desk who was eating Doritoes, I walked a mile on their track. One mile is 12 laps. Boring as Hell, but I'm contemplating the purchase of an iPod. Never had one, hate technology, but it would give me something "to do". It would also give me the advantage of having a valid reason to ignore people and focus on what I went there to do. There were only 6 of us on the track and I knew 2 of them. I don't like chit-chat when I'm trying to exercise, and I was on a mission to get in, do my thing, and be out before school children arrived. My day ends 51 minutes before theirs does, so with planning, it should all fall in to place.
Tonight, I'm blogging to pass the time to keep from pouring a glass of wine. My calorie bank has just enough left for supper, but that's the problem again..I don't know when supper will be! The boys are out test driving cars again! My son sold his, so now he's without a vehicle, so there's a bit of pressure to find one soon. I started to prepare food, trying a new recipe: Wasabi Salmon Burgers...only, when I opened the salmon fillet my husband purchased, it just about knocked me over! The SMELL! I've prepared salmon many, many times, but it has never had an ODOR. This is rank. I am not going to proceed until another nose verifies what I suspect, and if I'm right, somebody will be going back to Kroger to get their $9.99 back! So I don't know what's for supper...or when. I got on here to see if I could bake my own potato chips. Seems like I should be able to. I have Pam Olive Oil Spray, but I have regular Pam too. All the recipes I pulled up say to slather the thinly sliced potatoes with butter. I don't see that happening. By the way...Did I mention I walked 1 mile?!?! ;)
