i biked to work again... it's actually only about 7 miles round-trip, so it's not huge, but it's enough to make me feel like i didn't just sit around all day long. i'm going to try to make it to the gym tomorrow morning - if i get up in time. if not, it's ok. i also have my performance review (annual) at work tomorrow, so that should be interesting. i'm feeling good about it because work is one of those areas in my life where i am usually in control. today i gave three presentations and all of them went well.
after coming home from work, i ate dinner, watched the biggest loser, and made pumpkin raisin muffins (still have lots of leftover buttermilk and pumpkin from the waffles...). i had one muffin for dessert, but the jury is still out as to whether they're good enough to make again. admittedly i did change the recipe a bit, which is not always a good idea (I used about 1/2 whole wheat flour, for example).
i'm proud of myself that even though i've been feeling really lumpy n dumpy lately, i haven't been using it as an excuse to overeat or binge on ice cream. hope everyone else is doing well!

me too!
I'm proud of you too! You're not only in control of work, you're in control of your eating and exercise right now, which is fantastic.
Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. I think you're right, now that I'm less busy I can focus on why I'm feeling blah, as opposed to just blaming it on work. But hopefully it will pass and I can return to my normal cheerful self!
I wish that I could bike to work or something like that. Unfortunately, I'm 30 miles from work. And I already have to leave the house at 6 am to make it on time DRIVING! LOL! I'm so proud of you for doing that, though. And for being in control of your eating. It's so hard! We all know that. You have really been an inspiration to me. Yes, like the rest of us, you have your ups and downs, but you always sound so sensible about it.
Im glad that you are able to resist making excuses! Thats important and difficult. I agree about riding bike to work, it just makes me feel like I have at least picked up this lifestyle change.
