Down a pound. In the right direction.
Must investigate this Vyvanase. I did not know it was beneficial in regard to easing bingeing. Given my propensity to binge, it might be a course of action that might work for me.
The sun is shining today. It is brisk (for CA) in the mid 40s, but should get up into the mid 50s, which will be nice. With no rain I get to wear my new London Fog wool overcoat today. YAY!
I had a nice workout last night and even though my a good chunk of time was sucked up taking care of two friends, I still pushed myself to get the things done for myself I wanted to get done. That did mean I didn't eat dinner until 9:30 - not good. Not empty enough at bed time eating that late. I really felt that I could not say no to my two friends. One was to check in on a sick dog while she was at work and the other was mentoring my best friend on classroom management (I had to be blunt and tell him he's letting the monkeys run the zoo!). Yet, at the same time I felt like part of my day was stolen away from me.
I am examining how my reaction to situations around me are triggers for eating. Ron watches way too much TV for my liking. I become frustrated by this behavior because it seems to deplete him of motivation and action. I have begun to believe that TV watching is much like smoking pot - nothing gets done-nothing happens. I have learned that I can't overlook this issue, so I've been hitting it head on the past couple of days. It's working for me to point out what needs doing rather than waiting around hoping he'll step up and do it. Anyway, it's keeping me out of the cupboard!
Still not totally back on track, but much better... baby steps, I suppose.
It stayed light until 5:20 last night. Loved it!
Damn, February starts next week. Wasn't it just Christmas????
Good point about TV. I turn into a veg when I watch it, but do it a lot on workdays (or sickdays) when I'm exhausted. I never turn it on when on vacation or if busy on the weekend though.

Hello friends. 115 or 116 this morning - can't remember. Food choices have been alright - evenings not consistently calorie free so still working towards that. Day off today, had late breakfast with a friend.
Our poor kitty Bailee has been slowly failing over the past couple weeks. We had a home vet visit scheduled for today to arrange to have the rest of teeth removed, but after more rapid deterioration the past couple days, we knew we were close to the end.
Vet is not sure if it's cancer or heart, but either way we are already there. Surprised but not shocked. DD is very upset, which makes things harder. Vet coming back this evening to put our beloved Bailee down. No tears from me yet but they will definitely come.
Love those precious pets extra well today.
