Time to start again.... Day # 834
HOLY MOLY! The last time I checked in on the Diary Front was July 23rd??? It's been such a crazy couple of months. Work has been insanely busy. I'm chairing a committee and involved in another one and have been on a few search committees, too. And, then I started taking classes again, too, in late August. It's just been plain nuts! And, accordingly, I've been very lax on the diet front. I know I've put on a few (ok, more than a few) pounds because my clothes are tightening up. I've not really been to the gym in well, probably over a month now... if not more? I really have no excuses other than life getting busy. The holidays looming doesn't help. I know it will be food central from Thanksgiving day on. So, my only plan of attack is to do well all the days that are NOT holidays and allow myself to cheat a bit on the actual holidays. I have to stop eating so much junk and get back in the game. And, I have to start going back to the gym or doing SOME sort of exercise. It snowed today - that does not make it easy for walking when the weather starts to turn! I don't mind walking in the snow and cold, just hate the slippy ice!
So, wish me luck. Today I started off with a pumpkin right-size smoothie. And, then I had some apple slices. Lunch is at 1:00. I have Progresso veggie soup (160 calories), a cheesestick, a yogurt, and some blackberries. My problem isn't the day, it's at night when I can eat like a fiend! Tonight I have plans, so I should be too busy to be thinking about food.... I hope!
