 A whole SLEW of doors opened up !!  

wow  !  I had no IDEA  i had OPTIONS  that  I wasn't even CONSIDERING  when I ran out of habit to stuff something in my mouth out of boredom or to automatically  improve  my mood ......

now , suddenly  I have block of TIME after dinner I can fill with  1 )  an 8:00 hot  yoga class  
    
                                                                                                                 2 ) a relaxing  de-toxing hot bath   and                                                                                                                        reading 
                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                 3) maybe even drawing  or  a run 

                                                                                                                 4)  I can get a jump on my paperwork 

                                                                                                                 5) I can pamper my plants 

                                                                                                                 6) I can actually  get enough rest

Sounds like some great possibilities.  Although I do sometimes do paperwork, especially when I have billing to do, I frequently do the hot bath or go to bed early.  I love my sleep.

You're right.  Eating is such a waste of time.  I sometimes get bored at work and that is when I really want to graze and fill my time with eating.  II have to stick around my office otherwise I would go for a walk.  I've tried to just log into this website when that happens.  Even though I can't post, I can come here and get encouragement and help from other's posts.

At home, I've started walking right after work and started knitting a baby blanket and a afghan for my toddler grandson to use when he comes in April.  The yarn was expensive, so I don't even try to have a snack around and it keeps my hands busy.  LOL.  It's always going to be a battle with myself--a battle I AM going to WIN.

Yea!  Good for you!

I stayed busy last night cleaning and sorting my stuff in the garage - deciding what was going to storage, what was staying at the house, then trying to decide where to put what was staying...

Tonight I have errands after work, getting my nails done, then I HAVE to get my filing done. 

Busy is the key!
