Yesterday was overall a pretty good day… during the day! I was hungry though. Not sure if it was because I was back at work and I was “munchy” or if it was real hunger because of the extra activity first thing in the morning. In the past I remember getting a bit more hungry on the days I did the Jog/walk program. I drank a ton of water so that wasn’t the issue.
But man, when I got home…. I did the ugly jig. It was just me and Kate and I made sure I got home by 4:30 so that I could get her out and get her some exercise. She was kenneled which is a small space for a big active dog but since getting Ms. Maggie, Ms. Katie has taken it into her mind that it is OK to get into things when the MR. and MRS are away. Anyway, it started with a handful of ripple potato chips. Mr Sandra had left a few ounces in a bag on the counter. They aren’t there any more.
Then I had my sensible dinner of homemade chicken/vegetable soup. Cleaned up space along another wall in the office as I want to continue painting in the room.The office became a bit of a dumping ground when we moved in and I still need to unpack some stuff that is in there. But at 6:00, the Biggest Loser Season 13 started and I wanted to watch it. The 9:00 show is on too late for me. Well while watching it I was dozing off, so I got up and made myself some popcorn. Yup – just to keep me awake…. and I love popcorn.
Now all in all it wasn’t a bad day per se but I felt like I ate for the sake of eating last night. I used food, instead of beer, to keep me awake and occupied. That’s not going to work long term but for today I am OK with what happened last night. I have to make sure that food isn’t a replacement for the boredom/tired days.
It is my baby’s 29th birthday today and I’m going to have to go home to let out Ms. Katie (I did leave her out of the kennel and loose in the house this morning) and then head back here to the city to have dinner with him, his spouse and my Grand daughter. That’s going to keep me occupied beyond normal and I won’t succumb to the mouth stuffing incident again (for tonight anyway).
I am feeling good though….. I’m heading in the right direction folks – it’s about time!
I hope you are having a FANTASTIC day!

Isn’t she getting big 
I think you probably let yourself get too hungry. Can you think of someting low calorie that you could munch on when you have the munchies? I usually pick carrots or celery or even will eat a whole can of green beans! Otherwise? I end up doing the same sort of thing you did! I'm glad you're feeling better and I'm sure you'll get a grip on this no problem.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling well. Don't be too hard on yourself. I found that brushing my teeth keeps me from snacking. Makes everything taste nasty. LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat tip from Kelly here, it helps me to brush my teeth too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, thanks for following my blog!! I love meeting new people. I also share your temptation for eating on tired/bored days. When you are bored, check out some of my weight loss videos at http://blip.tv/virtualpaul Of coarse they would certainly put you to sleep LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I am just catching up on your blog and love the idea of 66 days. I too, am refocusing. Here's to a happy and healthy 2012
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great on your 66 day challenge! :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the brilliant words to say about the snacking. I struggle with that soo much! Just STAY STRONG and remember how poorly you feel when you cave!!!!
