Grazing
I need to find ways of occupying myself in the evening that don't
revolve around eating. I do so well throughout the day, but for whatever
reason in the evening I get hungrier and find it easy to stray off plan
if I'm not careful. I was doing very well tonight -- but after
finishing off my planned meals, which would have left me at 1694
calories, hubby made extra curly fries for me to share with him (since
there weren't enough to bother saving them, he said) and then later I
had a couple of snack bars, so that put me over 2000 calories. Not the
worst thing in the world, hardly a binge -- but not within my calorie
goals either.
Tomorrow we head back to Sydney for the 2 week
follow up appointment with my surgeon, and of course that means we'll be
eating lunch out somewhere in Sydney. By next week I'll be back at
work and I always do better when work occupies most of my day. But for
whatever reason, evenings are still challenging for me. I wonder why I
have no problem controlling my appetite during the day, and then want to
graze throughout the evening. I know I'm not the only one with this
problem, but that doesn't help much.

You
know, they said I couldn't drive for 3 weeks after the surgery but I
still have very limited use of my arm. My in-laws were over today and I
was showing them how I couldn't even lift the limb out in front of me
-- showing them by attempting to do so, which actually hurt a fair bit
and the shoulder has been tender ever since. I don't see me driving any
time soon, but we'll see what the doctor says tomorrow.
