Going to bed a little hungry tonight, and my rings feel loose and spin easily on my finger. Good signs both, I think.

I weighed on Wednesday, but didn't like what I saw, so I didn't post it. My blog, my rules!

Went to a family run Italian joint for dinner tonight. We split an antipasto platter, of which we brought about half home, both had salads and crunchy bread sticks, and split an entree. Brought a little of the pasta home, too. Felt pretty good about supper both price-wise and eating-wise.

Down 3.4 lbs in a 5 days. Pretty happy with that.

I didn't do stairs on Friday. I had a bad charlie horse situation in my left calf, and it was so sore Friday I was limping every time I got up from my desk.

Saturday, I walked the 1 mile celebration/fun walk for the Komen Race for the Cure. I didn't drink much water before, and walked at a little faster pace than usual, and got a little sick afterward. Felt woozy, and had some dry heaves. One of my endo nurses was there and got me a cold water bottle for my neck, and I rested and felt better. Sean was great, too. He was proud of me for not panicking.

Sunday, we walked for about 20 minutes. I drank lots of water before we went. I felt fine.

Portions went pretty well except for last night. I did have fruit Saturday and today.

I'm still working on my issue of wanting to lose weight but not wanting to work for it. There's some spiritual stuff tied up in that as well. I'll get there, I just don't know when.

Well, portions were better at breakfast and lunch, but dinner was still too big. And too much frustration snacking on Hersey Nuggets. And no fruit, unless you count the cherries in a small slice of cherry pie. ;)

The successes, though, are that I did get my 2 flights of stairs in, and my portions were better on 2 out of 3 meals.

Tomorrow: 2 flights of stairs, actual fruit, reasonable portions.

BTW, I was hoping the vice-presidential debate would be a huge train wreck. I thought there was great comic potential with these 2 candidates. But alas, they both seem to have prepared pretty well.

So here is one of my problems. Just before I typed my last post, I was hungry, so I had a snack. No problem. But now I'm not hungry anymore, but I want to keep eating. I enjoy the sensation; I enjoy the activity. But I'm not hungry anymore. So I'm going to stay on the computer a while longer in effort not to eat anything else.

I'm starting again today. I did better with my portions, and only ate when hungry. I actually ate a piece of fruit, too!

Rough plan for tomorrow: Another serving of fruit. Moderate portions. At least 2 flights of stairs.

I go to the doctor for my work-mandated physical, which my annual apparently did not count for, on the 22nd, and I want to see how much I can lose by then. And I was going to type that I'm only gonna weigh once a week, but we all know better than that.
