Tired and hungry. Not a good combination.

I ate well yesterday, until I got home from rehearsal. I had to go to Wal-Mart afterwards to pick up a b-day present for my father-in-law, and was hungry, because we had supper early. Rehearsal got over at 9:30. I bought a bag of cheesy pop-corn puffs, and ate a little more than half the bag while reading. I should have just poured out the 2 cup serving, and I'm sure I would have been plenty happy.

Today, did well with eating until supper. We went to Olive Garden. I did eat too much, but not as much as I would have in the past. Three breadsticks, half of the smoked mozzerella fonduta, salad, and I actually brought half of my chicken Milanese home! So a little progress, a little area for further improvement.

BTW, the limoncello lemonade at Olive Garden is DIVINE!

359.1. Honestly, not my highest weight recently. But here is where I begin again.

It was raining after work, so no walk or yard work, except trimming a few branches from our tree-bush out front. However, my portions today were much better, and I had fruit with lunch and as a snack! I bought a couple of bananas to eat over the next couple of days.

I've been eating like a pig this week-end, knowing that I've decided to start tomorrow working on eating right again. My main concentrations for this week will be portion sizes and more fruits and vegetables. And more water.

Right now, although I'm not the least bit hungry, I want something to eat. So, sugar free popsicles to the rescue. 15 calories each. And for some reason, I always have to eat 2. So 30 calories, and my mouth is occupied and my urge to eat is satisfied.

Exercise hasn't been happening lately, except for working in the butterfly garden one night. Still brake problems with the new bike. It's been rainy, too, and the DH has been wonderful and not making fun of me! Tomorrow night, we hope to take a walk and mulch my other, smaller flower bed.

I commented to a friend over dinner tonight that I only blog when things are going well, eating wise, and realized that this might be more useful to me if I blog when things aren't going at all, too.

I'm hovering around the same weight, I think. I haven't weighed in a couple of weeks. I'll have a few good eating days, followed by several bad. Work has calmed down, so I can't blame it on stress. Just don't feel like being disciplined right now.

We have walked more this spring than last, but I need to do more. I'm buying a bicycle this week. And to keep the DH from ridiculing me for my latest unused fitness purchase (DDR, stability ball...) I need to make a plan for riding and stick to it. Plus I think exercising again will get me wanting to eat right.

So I'll try to check in here more often, good or bad. And maybe not even eating related. Maybe we'll just chat. After all, I am about more than just my weight, and so is my journey.
