After a week of mindless eating, teachers' lounge food, poor choices, eating in the car--yesterday was better. And I lost 2+ pounds. I went to the bathroom a lot all day. So maybe I was retaining water. I don't know. But I tried to be more aware of what I was eating. Making deliberate choices of what to eat. I wasn't perfect, but it definitely was better. I prayed the rosary in the morning, which always starts the day right. I need to do that more. It helps me organize my prayers and focus.
Today I plan to stay busy. Good breakfast, chili for lunch, not sure about supper. I'm cleaning the breezeway and putting away my summer decorations and getting out the fall ones. Then THE GARAGE!!!!! Tomorrow--summer clothes out, fall clothes in. And Halloween decorations in the living room. Plus figure out what to do with the kitchen chairs. Make today a productive, active day!
I like the suggestions from the Peanut Butter and Peppers blog:
