*squee!*

Check it out, yo! New theme. It’s purty.

I’m really looking forward to taking a nice walk today. My iPod’s charged and it looks like it’s nice and sunny out. But…and this is key…it’s not hot!!

Food is my friend!

Yesterday was a mix of good and bad. I had a good breakfast…one of my faves. Raw veggies and a bit of cheese. The bad part was that I also had a Sobe No Fear energy drink….130 calories….34g of carbs….33 of which are sugar. I guess it could have been worse…I could have had a floofy coffee drink like I usually do. I did well for lunch w/ a salad topped with half of a hard boiled egg and strips of grilled chicken. Afternoon I got the munchies…and I consumed a snack bag of ritz cheese crackers and two Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Blech. Dinner was delicious and my friend Tempestua was kind enough to have brought it over. Chicken enchiladas! They weren’t smothered in cheese or were overly greasy, so it was pretty yummy. She also brought dessert: two fig newtons for each of us. Cute! Then…when T left, I slipped into my compulsive eater mode. I got out a bag of tortilla chips and the guacamole I made and started to eat…but, the victory in this was…I stopped before I ate all of it. This is big, folks. Usually if a bag of chips is nearing empty (but still has enough to last a little while), I’ll finish it off in one sitting. With my mouth full, I looked to the food and I just felt sick. So, I stopped. I could have felt really guilty about eating in secret…like I usually do…but this time, I was really proud of myself that I was able to get a hold of myself this time and stop. 

Tempestua and I did take a nice walk yesterday, too. A brisk 20 minute walk. And it felt like nothing. I mean that in a good way. It didn’t feel hard or daunting or anything. 

Saturday I’m going to tackle the butte for the first time. It’s behind T’s house, and she’s walked it…I guess it’s really hard, and so that’ll be really good. 

Today after work I will take another twenty minute walk, which will end up at the grocery store for fresh lettuce and a chicken breast for dinner. The walk back will be about ten to fifteen minutes…so in all, I’ll have taken a half hour walk. 

I can do this.
