It was a beautiful day today! Supposed to top off somewhere in the 70s, and it eventually did, but when I woke up, my plan was to get our laundry finally all hung up and put away out of the baskets. I do that every now and then, you know, even though it's one of my least favorite jobs. So, after getting my lazy ass out of bed, I left the bedroom long enough to make myself tea and to start the last load of regular clothes, so I can get them put away, too, when they are done. When I'm gonna do a job, I'm gonna do it all!
I finally got done around 2, and came out to find me some lunch. I looked at the few dishes in the sink, and went ahead and got my lunch. The dishes can wait until tomorrow. I have played Happy Homemaker long enough today. I got my chicken salad, and dithered over my 'side' and chose dry roasted peanuts over my walnuts. I was in a nutty mood, evidently! But I hadn't had dry roasted for a while and had just got them when I did the shopping on Monday, so was looking forward to finally having some, so I suppose they were calling me a bit louder. I opened the back door(s), the front door, and one front window, so the breeze could go through the house. It sure felt good! I played on the pute while I was eating, but my FB still wasn't working right (the 'world' notifications wouldn't load, neither would the messages). Scrabble kept telling me every three games or so that it needed refreshed, too, so I had to keep going in and out of both it and Words With Friends, so I ended up just getting off the pute and doing some sewing (mending) that has been piling up over the winter. I wanted to change the bathroom over to Spring/Summer so bad, but I resisted. I try not to do that until the season change, and that's not for another ten days. I made myself just settle down to my sewing, basking in the sunshine coming in through the front door.
After that was done, I let myself fall asleep and I dozed until Ron came home. Me! Taking a nap!
After Ron got home, he let me sleep until time for me to leave for my TOPS meeting. I glanced around when he woke me up, and the thermometer on the wall - where the sun was shining straight in through the storm door - said MORE than 100 degrees!! Jiminy, no wonder I was sleepy! I shut the door while getting ready to leave, and the temperature had gone down ten degrees here in the house before I left.
When I got to my meeting, I weighed in, and I had lost! Not quite a pound, but still a loss. I am glad for that. I was still feeling dozy, and not quite right, and I wasn't sure about my weight for this week. By the time the meeting ended, though, I wasn't feeling real good at all. Luckily, I was stopping at the store to pick up a bag of ice, so I also got some munchies (ok, too many munchies) because I was feeling what I call "a mite peckish" and figured that NOW I'm starting a sugar low and probably won't make it home. Great, just what I need. So, since I can't make a decent decision, I got Ruffles, Reese's eggs, and 2 donuts. I thought that I'd eat the donuts on the way, and Ron and I would split the chips and the candy. But the donuts were stale, so I only ate half of one, and I opened the chips and munched some of those.
When I got home, Ron had made supper. He made hamburgers and peas. So, I had a hamburger, peas, the rest of the chips (Ron didn't want any), and the Reese's egg for my supper. I gave Ron the other Reese's egg, and I zapped the donuts and had them for my dessert. I suppose I could have waited and had them in the morning, but...nah.
When I put my food into MFP, I was over by 225. Not a surprise, not with the donuts and chips, but I am okay with that today. MFP daily calories are so much lower than TOPS calories, and I go by the MFP calories. I let myself forget that a lot, and I need to let myself have a 'bad' day every now and then. I AM still on the right track, I know I am.
