Lifeisgood_5 enjoys a break in the rain
Hello everyone! It's Monday and here in the SF Bay Area we finally have sunshine again! January was a dull and very rainy month, so to have sunshine - even with the cold and wind - we're a bit happier and definately smiling more.
Today is a good food day for me. Ran errands at lunch so I stopped by Subway for a sandwich. Subway is usually my Wed after weigh-in treat but today it just sounded good. I have learned that the Subway near my office does not stock enough wheat bread NOR do they have fat free mayo, so I may have to try a different store next time. It's okay - I've got the points and I'll be fine. Besides, there is 1pt chili sitting at home waiting for me to have for dinner tonight thanks to my housemate who made a pot. I'll try to remember to share the recipe with you all - we got it at a WW meeting a couple of weeks ago.
Superbowl was NOT a problem for me. I stopped by a friend's house on the way home from church and while she ate her KFC I was in the other room reading the newspaper (I had already eaten my lamb stew I brought with me). When she was done we enjoyed decaf coffee while we perused the WW New Complete Cookbook while watching the Superbowl commercials. Hey - if you can't eat it, read about it, right?
I got home to find out that my Sunday dinner group WAS going to meet, so we packedup the 1pt chili and brought it with us. Good choice as otherwise I would have eaten the fried chicken and much more chips and dip than I did. A couple chips and I headed for the fridge to find the carrots to snack on (they always have carrots there). I did well!
TOM has been an ongoing issue for me as my body adjusts to having another woman with a cycle in the house. I finally started fully last Friday, so I'm in the middle of my experience now and so very grateful. Hopefully I'll now be (finally) regulated. What I've gone thru physically these past 6 weeks has been horrid.
Off to accupuncture tonight. Feeling a bit tired from a long day yesterday so I'm looking forward to 20 minutes of absolute rest on the table and then going home to curl up on the couch with my blanket and cat. I'll try to bring my walking shoes to work tomorrow so I can start walking at lunch again.
Here's to a glorious week everyone!
