Good afternoon,
Im home today, I have a sinus infection when I went to the doctor yesterday.
Had cpr and first aid on Saturday at work. It was a interesting class. Just ate salad and cut up fruit while everyone else had pizza and chips and dip. Ate some cottage cheese when I got home. Made a roast and broccoli for dinner. I did have 5 Hershey kisses and some trail mix.
sunday I planned for a donut but was on track.
Qotd my brain gets in the way a lot and giving into cravings. Think I had diet fatigue and at one point, I said **** it but now I'm working on it and trying to get back on track.
B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese
L tuna and cottage cheese
D eye of round beef roast and broccoli
Have a good day

Hello my RnY clan! Happy Monday!
It's snowing again here and will continue until night, then snow again for the next two days. It is beautiful, but I am annoyingly housebound. I badly need to get to the Post Office in the town just off of the island to ship stuff and to pick up mail and packages, but my car is immobilized due to it's position and the ice and snow. It only takes 15 minutes to get there by car in clement weather, though driving would take about twice that now due to the unplowed, unsalted, and unsanded, icy and snow-packed roads. I am considering walking but through much of the way there, there are no sidewalks and several steep hills; I expect it would take many hours to get there and back. But I am considering bundling up in layers and going anyway. I don't have any snow boots but I do have some warm tall Ugg boots which would probably be better than wearing tall riding boots - warmer, anway. It's 26 degrees out and snowing prettily. No Ubers are available, I tried. They're not fools!
I was hungry last night and ate more than I had intended at the start of the day. Fortunately, this morning's moment of scale truth showed me at 127.0 pounds, identical to yesterday. So that was a relief.
QOTD: head and emotional stuff for sure! I am pretty good and on track most of the time, but worry and anxiety make me want to reach for quick feel-better cures. I really am not overly a worrier in most of my life, but there are times when I can't help feeling upset and anxious; anybody would feel that way in a similar situation. Food is calming but we here know beyond any doubt that it can be ruinous when used for emotional comfort rather than nutrition. I told you guys I was buying more clothes over the couple of weeks or so than I should be buying, and I truly am done with that - it didn't even work as a feel good mechanism, though that was the real reason why I indulged. Anyway that phase is over; the payoff emotionally really isn't enough to warrant the cost. I don't even feel better afterwards, so there is zero point. I'm lucky to have realized that in the beginning rather than later on, after more unnecessary spending.
First: tea and lots of it
B: turkey breast and Swiss cheese
L: eggs with ham and chives
D: eggs with ham and chives redux
Stay warm and safe, my friends!
