Today, I got up right around 10. Glad to know, that even with the events of the last few days, I am still more or less right on 'schedule.' I got a load of dishes started - I had NOT done dishes all last week, and there were many, many dishes sitting in and around my sink, counters, and stove and boy, was it a job! Chip wanted to take a shower before 'hitting the road' today, so I had to let the first batch soak while he was using the shower, but that's what I do anyway. Put some in to soak, go play on pute, do those up, put more in to soak, etc., etc. I just usually don't have quite so many. I did have to empty the water and run fresh when I got to the pans, but that wasn't such a biggie. I just waited til I got back from our lunch (and Chip going...) and emptied the dishdrainer and started on the pans. It was a very nice break! Since we had gone to Gold Star last night, he wanted to go to Frisch's today. Hometown peeps coming back have to hit the hot spots, you know!
So, it was a Big Boy and a bowl of chili for me for lunch. I DID resist the fries today! I did have to add crackers (3 packs, 6 crackers) to the chili. It was just a bit on the thin, runny side. I then got a few errands around town done, and back home to finish the dishes, then pute (not that I wasn't on the pute while each 'load' was soaking, anyway...) time for a while! I also got the frozen chicken breasts into the crockpot along with a can of chicken with rice soup, and a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix, figuring it will be done when I get back from my TOPS meeting. With the leftover green beans (good green beans, with ham and onions in them!) as a side, that will be a very nice supper. At 2:30 or so, I decided that if I wanted to walk today, I'd best get on it, if I wanted to have a decent weigh-in tonight at my TOPS meeting. So, I called another TOPS member, who lives on Hoover Road, to see if she wanted to walk with me, and she did, so I got my gym shoes on, made a pit stop, and off I went. I got the walk in - it was just a bit chilly but damn, could I tell it had been a while since I had done any real exercise!
Ron gets home just a little after 5, so we got to spend some decent time together before I had to leave for my meeting. Yes, he stayed awake and talked to me! Can you believe it?
Here I am, weighing in. I wish I had emptied my pockets, gone to the bathroom, picked lint out of my belly button, and all that. Sigh. I GAINED almost 2 pounds. Really not a surprise, since this week was all running, running, running (okay: driving) and setting things up and phone calls and all that type of stuff. I did eat okay all week, but no exercise, and no really caring about stuff like this. So, not a surprise at all.
Home from the meeting, and I quite enjoyed my supper. I love it when plans fall into place! Or actually work, however you want to look at it...
Today gets five stars for both food and exercise! Food, for staying under on calories (okay, I only had 13 left, but...I was under!!) and exercise because it happened! That sure works for me!
