Long day...
I am waiting for laundry to finish so I can put it in the dryer and then I'm going to bed! I have a long week ahead of me after a very busy weekend.
Today was such a long day and continues to be. We all got up early to go to Ice hockey. And with ice hockey you have to be there 45 minutes before the game starts, and it's a 45 minute ride...and then an hour game, then about 20 minutes after.... Then we ran some errands at a couple stores. I was starving... we were all starving. I had just had coffee and a 1 egg omelet for breakfast at 8 am and by the time we were done with our errands it was 2 pm. OMG was I hungry. I usually am pretty good about scheduling things around my meals(I try and eat 6 times a day so I'm never starving like this) and bringing something with me....even if it's peanuts. I figured we were going to hockey and coming home.... I didn't know we were going to be out so long.
I hate that feeling. The weak, faint feeling mixed with anger. LOL! We ended up going out for a late lunch. We went to Outback. Which can be scary, but I got a side salad and a filet..it came with smashed garlic potatoes and shrimp. I didn't eat the potatoes, but I did eat the shrimp. Wasn't a whole lot of calories for the day at all.
My dh is on a diet and the weight is just melting off of him. I love it. He loves it. BUT he was so scared to go out to eat today, but what kind of life is it to be holed up in the house afraid to do anything because you might have to eat something different? It's called living in the real world and learning to make food your friend and learning what you can and cannot eat. I was proud of him. I think it gave him a sense of control and power over the food. :)
I can say that it's nice to have someone in cahoots with me in the eating healthy thing. Before I was the only one that really tried. He always started and stopped...it was so half assed. Now he's in it. He's got an obsessive personality, so I told my mom that I HOPE he decides he's going to do this once and for all because he won't stop until he's where he wants to be....so that will mean no more buying junk at the store. :) When I met my dh(18 yrs ago) he was running 6-10 miles everyday and working out at the gym every day.... he was obsessed with being in shape. Then his mom got really sick and his focus turned to her. When she died, he never ran again and never stepped foot inside a gym again. That was 9 years ago. That sounds so odd now that I've typed it out, but that's what happened. It was like he just shut off and didn't care anymore. So he's let himself go for a while now..... but he's getting himself back. He's so much happier, calmer, involved.
Anyway, I've written a book. I have lesson plans to finish...
