Getting in the swing of things (once again)

Wednesday, October 1, 2014

Woke up today around my normal time of 10, reading until a little after noon, then getting up and doing stuff here around the house.  I folded up, and put away, the towels that were in the dryer, stacked the few dirty dishes onto one counter by the sink, and little things like that. I had one of the sausage, egg, and cheese muffins (well, really one of Ron's croissants) for my lunch.
I also put together a package for my Secret Pal to take to church on Sunday (I've not been very good to her this year - not since May, anyway) and that made me feel a bit better.  Once I had realized that I had missed so many of her occasions over the late Spring and Summer, I felt kinda bad.  I am usually a pretty darn good Secret Pal!
I got a baggie of catfish (remember that huge one Ron caught?) out of the freezer to cook for our supper tonight.  For some reason, it just sounded good today.
I played on the pute, I did my exercises, but I didn't get to walk because of the damn telephone.  A stupid collection call caught me just before Ron let me know he was on 774, and I couldn't get away from them - they come up with answers for everything, you know.  How they can come up with an answer for "I have no job, I have no money" I don't know, but they pull something out of their asses every time, and trying to talk to them is like beating your head against the wall.  Hard.

Ron and I talked about going for a walk, but since I had a meeting (Altar Society) up at church at 7:30, I didn't really have time to both walk and make & eat supper before going, and it was not wise for me to wait til 9 to eat my supper.  So, I made supper instead of walking.  I dredged the fish in egg, then cornmeal, then fried it in my big cast iron skillet.  I  zapped the veggies from the fridge that were leftovers from the roast a couple of weekends ago to go with it.
I was glad that I had done my exercises, though - at least I had gotten something accomplished today!

When I got back from my meeting - just in time to watch Criminal Minds - I wanted to eat something else so bad, but I talked myself out of it.  Yay, me!
I put my food and exercise in MFP after watching Criminal Minds - I like to pay attention while watching that show, you never know when the smallest 'clue' comes and goes - and I had to guess on the catfish because MFP just said 'x # of filets' not 'x # of ounces' and our bits and pieces were NOT whole fillets, so I guessed 3 fillets because I had eaten about 7 pieces of fish, and, in the end, I was around 150 calories over for the day.  I'm okay with that, cause that's still less than 1200 calories for the day.  I am not going to fret and worry over that.  Plus, I know that it was 'good' food, not junk.

Nothing planned for tomorrow, except to get things all ready for the weekend - celebrating my grandson's (and my) birthday!  I've got to do a LOT of housework, so I can put on my gift from Ron to enjoy this weekend (and longer) - peacock fingernail wraps!  I want to get the housework done, so there is no chance that I'll mess them up once I get them on....
