It's a slow, slow time of year (right?)

7/21

Today was just a normal ol' slow day.  Nothing new, nothing happening (thank God!) and totally boring.  But - I'll take it!  Sometimes, some days, that's all I want, and today was one of those days.
I did get the dishes done today, so I did my Happy Homemaker bit and didn't let it go, as I've been doing.
For my lunch, I had a can of my chicken salad (and spent the rest of the day belching it..ugh) but that was it.  No peanuts, no cheese, no nothing else.  Just didn't feel like having anything else, for some reason, so I didn't.
After Ron got home, we decided on Hamburger Helper for supper, so I made that.  I did lay back down while the hamburger was cooking, then put it all together.
After supper, I did have a snack of popcorn and milk - after I put my food into MFP and had way too many calories left open!  I figured I better have a nice snack to hold off a sugar low, and I believe it worked.

I was very glad when today was over.  It was a long, boring day to me, but some days are, and some days aren't.


7/22

Today started off much better than yesterday.  I woke up a bit earlier than usual, and just felt better for some reason.  Maybe because of my late snack, and no sugar low, and maybe because I just slept pretty darn good.  I don't know, but I did.
I read, then got up and played on the pute, then did my exercises.  I had the rest of the tuna salad that I had made on Saturday for our picnic in Chilo Park for my lunch, then it was back to bed for a while for me.  Reading and playing DS for the afternoon, as usual.
I got up and took my shower right before 6, as I usually do on Tuesdays.  I leave to go to my TOPS meeting at 6:30, so this works out well.  When I got out of the shower, Ron had tried to call me - twice - so I called him back.  He had broken down, and was running late leaving work.  He was worried when he didn't get ahold of me, but when I told him I was in the shower, that relieved his mind.  He worries when I don't answer my cell phone.  He knows it is always right beside me.  He said he was leaving work right now, and would be home as soon as he could, but it would probably be a little after 6:30 before he got there.  He is letting me drive now, but doesn't really want me driving by myself, so he really wanted me to wait til he got home to leave.  So I did.  I still got up there in plenty of time, got weighed in - I lost ONE pound of the three I gained last week, which is good.  I wish I had lost all three (again), but I didn't, so there it is.  At least I lost something instead of gaining again!
Ron and I came back home and started searching for supper.  He finally had a frozen dinner and I had a bowl/can of potato soup.
When I put my food into MFP, I still had plenty of calories left, so I put in a snack, and was still under for the day.  I will enjoy my snack of dry roasted peanuts and kisses when I go to bed, so hopefully, once again, no sugar low.  I can certainly live with that!

Tomorrow is supposed to be a Bert and Teresa Day - which hasn't happened for a long, long time - and I am looking forward to it SO MUCH!!!  It's gonna be fun, fun, fun!!
