Cold, Cold, COLD!!! Good Sunday Morning!!
I expected to be the same or gain a little overnight, simply because I ate more nuts than I usually do yesterday. Struggled again with the desire to snack. Which I relate to sitting so long, watching Justified episodes on the TV with DH. But ... apparently I did okay because I saw another little drop on the scale. Cool.
I think we'll go out to eat today. We haven't decided "what" yet. Sushi? Thai? Beef? DH is suggesting places like the Hoot Owl (a local diner) and Dubs (a local burger joint) ... NO!!! I'm not up for the temptation of biscuits and gravy yet!!! Don't want to be somewhere that I can buy softserve ice cream and delicious crinkle cut french fries. Nope. Not there yet ... sorry DH ... I need healthier choices!!! He was craving something sweet last night. I broke into one of my dark chocolate bars I got for Christmas, gave us each a little square. He wanted MORE!!! Talked about having ice-cream (we still have some in the freezer) but decided instead to make himself an almond milk, whey powder, frozen banana smoothie. He said it was good.
Yesterday was smooth travels to and from the airport with mom. Roads were bare and dry in most places even though it was very COLD. Unfortunately my mom's flight was cancelled!! She was supposed to fly out this morning at 6 am. I'm hoping she is on her way. I haven't heard from her so that is a good sign. Delta put her up in a hotel by the airport and gave her meal vouchers but the poor thing ... by the time they got her to the hotel their restaurant was closed ... she was starving ... had to wait more than an hour for it to open for dinner. She had a tough day!!
DH was tired, worn out from the week so we decided to stay home and relax rather than go out and about yesterday. Maybe we'll go see a movie today. My challenge will be to stay away from the popcorn. Oh that is so very difficult for me. I know it is disgusting what they put on the popcorn but I love it. I always eat too much popcorn. We shall see how that turns out. I know. I can simply decide NOT to eat it, right? Sounds so simple.
So today ... I am grateful ... though somewhat dragging ... for ...
* Safe driving yesterday with no hitches on the highways.
* A day out with my sweetie.
* Continued success with my adjustments to my WOE.
* Legs that cross more easily.
* Life.
Not feeling very poetic this morning ... so let's just say I am continuing the path of practicing kindness towards myself, remembering to make taking care of myself a priority, and being mindful of staying in the moment I have rather than focusing on the past or future. Enjoy your Sunday!!
