I wanted to be outside...

...but not badly enough that I was willing to go out in the rain. It was a long day indoors alone. All the kids were away and I stayed in my pj's all day. I did some laundry and tidying, had a nap and finished a book I was reading. It's a young adult genre, but "I'll give you the sun" appealed to me more than anything I've read lately. Jandy Nelson is the author if you would like to check her out.

I found it interesting that yesterday I stayed within my goals, even though I had the chocolate in the evening and today I went over even though I had several salads and nothing that's awful. It reaffirmed for me that boredom plays a big part in the challenge...munching was harder to control today. I was only over about 100 calories, which I could have done without, but I didn't think it was smart to have hardly any supper. Again, portion control earlier in the day was slightly over the edge.

Thanks for the cool fresh air coming in the window. Thanks for doggy and kitty cuddles. Thank god kids don't stay away for long!

Love, elly

  1. Only 100 calories over is good in my books! Glad you are tracking again!
    We missed you at the Zoo :)

  2. I always had the idea that true success was being able to be alone without being lonely. After all, we're born alone, and we're gonna die alone.
    Just an idea, that I sure haven't mastered.
