Humpty Hump!

I'm back from swimming. I got through the whole workout, which is a good feeling. I've been 5 times and haven't had to share a lane yet, but it's coming. There have been two times when I just waited a minute for someone else to finish up, and got a lane to myself. I wouldn't expect that Friday morning will be that busy with the Halloween events Thursday night.

Today is going to be in the 80's, and then it is going to cool down tomorrow, probably for the winter. Most years we have our first snow before Thanksgiving, even if it melts quickly. The trees have lost a lot of their leaves, so there is raking to do.

I got my bicycle yesterday. I didn't know this, but street bikes don't have kickstands. One of my tasks for this weekend is to mount a hangar on our garage wall, so that I can store it. It's really light and fast, I think I am going to love it!

I think that we are carving pumpkins this afternoon. Marilyn picked up 4 good sized ones and we have the tools and books of patterns. They will only last about a day before the squirrels eat them. Other than that, work from home, Crossfit and maybe Happy Hour tonight (we are in a bit of a slump, lately)

QOTD: I don't track. I do test my blood sugar every day, which causes me to somewhat focus on what i am eating. I have a different reaction to Ozempic than a lot of other posters - people say they don't think about food at all, etc. For me, I am still hungry, but i get to restriction very fast. It's almost like being a Newbie again.

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: Roast beef Sandwich

Dinner: Chicken Mandi? Is today the day?

Have a great day, all!

Here are some photos from my trip. These are all from the Mactaris Archeological site. We visited 8 in all, and they were very extensive.

It's amazing how that tile work holds up for thousands of years.

I love this stuff. I am awed this was done with no machinery. Using only all the manpower you could own and beat into submission. Shameful that, but still, gorgeous artifacts.

I think the secret is to never feel deprived. Make sure you get to eat what you really want and make sure you learn to eat it in small enough quantities. My Fitness Pal is wonderful for tracking and getting a good idea of the calories. I also found reading labels to be a big help. Often I want something but when I read the label and see what is really in it, I might leave it in the store. I know this is easier said than done. It takes a lot of work, educating yourself, and learning to make the right decisions, and forgiving yourself when you make the wrong decision. Pick yourself up and start over. Lots and lots of times.

That is a key for me - eating what I really want and like. I go to great lengths to plan what I really enjoy/crave to help from feeling deprived.
