Sunday
MY FREE DAY!!  I so totally enjoyed this free day!
A bridal shower with the food that goes with such, and I stopped and got us Subway and a bag of Ruffles on the way home to have for supper.
YUM.

Monday.
I woke up around nine this morning, which was good, because I had to go to church this morning for a funeral (I am on the Bereavement Committee at church) of a fellow parishioner (or, technically, a fellow parishioner's spouse, because he's been in the Veteran's Home in Georgetown).  I did have the alarm set, but I was up before the alarm went off.  That changing the clocks does that to you...
After the funeral, I helped straighten up the church, chatted with people for a bit, then went to lunch at Gold Star.  I haven't done that for a while, and it was good!  I had my normal food there - a 5-way and a cheese coney, along with a tea.

I got back home, and played happy homemaker for a bit, getting laundry out of baskets and hung up.  I know!  Can you believe it?  I also got my suitcase (shirts and socks) packed for Gatlinburg - 2 weeks from Wednesday! - but I can't pack my pants yet, because I only have three pair that I wear daily.
Then on to play on the pute.  Josh texts me a little after two - he is home from his weekend jaunt to Canada! - he got home almost exactly at two.  Yay!  My car will be home tomorrow!

Ron gets home from work almost exactly at five - how strange is that?  I had JUST finished riding the exercise bike for fifteen minutes (2,75 miles, but only 70 calories) and somehow I had missed his text saying he was on his way, so he was worried about me, and I was amazed he was home already.  Ha...our first few minutes were very weird - I walked over to my desk to get my cell phone and it went off as I was reaching for it.  It was his message just now coming in!  It said 'stored at 4:51' and then 'received at 5:00'  and I showed it to him to prove I didn't get it til now.  We both just looked at each other and shook our heads.  We had never heard of such a thing before!

We had frozen dinners for supper.  He had Beef Broccoli, and I had Tuna Noodle.  When I put my food into myfitnesspal, I was under on my calories by just over 200.  Yay, me.

Watched football and played on the pute all night tonight.  No snacks - I was way too close to do that!

Today gets five stars for food - I was under on calories, and it was darn good food!  Exercise is getting three stars - I didn't do as much as I should have, but I did get some in there, and it felt GOOD to be able to be on that bike for a full fifteen minutes.  I do think we are gonna have to tighten up the tension on it, though.  We aren't burning up enough calories with it turned down all the way.  We'll have to experiment with that.
