Seventy-six post-ings and a red guitarrrrrr

TGIF, mofo wifi!

It's been an interesting week food-wise. I think the eating obsessions CD is starting to sink in. I went to a work fx yesterday and they had burgers and chips and realllly garlicky potato sald. I only had a few chips and 2 spoonsful of the salad, and a cheeseburger with cheese/tomato/completely nutritionally devoid iceberg lettuce. I only got through about 2/3 of the burger and had to stop, as I was feeling full. It was hard to put the burger down. And to leave it there through about 35 minutes of boring presentations. But I did! And I felt great!

This has happened several other meals, and although I didn't stop every time, I have stopped more often than not. It's truly fascinating to me, and again I am reminded of how little food I needed at kripalu, where I was quite active every day (yoga, walks, lots of giving massages, up/down 4 flights of stairs several times/day). Of course, that was all really healthy good food.

I have been sticking to great choices this week. Had a half-cream-cheese brownie here, a small serving of B&J there, but otherwise eating lots of veggies and fruit, and smaller portions. Oh, and NO coffee and NO teecino, just water! And I haven't eaten when I've gotten home from school at 10:30, even though I am a little hungry - just water & bed. Go Xena!

This has been a double blessing, because my exercise has been for shit. I did make it to the elliptical Weds. morning but haven't done anything since, not even walking (continual rain AGAIN!). I plan to get to the Y tonight for some ellipt/lifting. Tomorrow is insanity day due to daughter's bday at my mother's house, which is not close by at all, plus I still have to shop and then cart most of her friends with us. I'm proud of my daughter for having both boys/girls as friend, and a bit envious and amazed, as I *never* had that assortment of sexes for friends when I was her age! She is rather tomboyish, so perhaps that helps.

Sunday is scouts picnic, so I'm hoping the weather clears up (HA!) and we can go swimming at the pond there, or play some catch football or softball.

The most interesting piece of all is that my weight is back down to 175 and maybe a bit under! I'm probably just losing muscle, argh!
