This weekend I got exercise both days. I exercised yesterday too. Hopefully, forming a habit!
MWL eating plans have not been 100% compliant. Saturday I had sweet potato fries and hamburger bun with my veggie burger. I also ate a fried apple pie... I hate writing this stuff down! Last night I had 2 margaritas, cheese sauce, and corn chips. Then during the night I woke up and ate a few crackers and cheese. I'll suffer with cravings but hopefully I'm back on plan. Think like a thin person. I didn't over eat last night and I'm waiting until noon to eat today. Saturday's big meal was after a 5 mile hike. Still should not have eaten what I did... hanging with a friend who was eating a cheddar cheese bacon burger and fries. Still, I gave into following along... not that there would have been any judgements on her part if I had chosen a more healthy meal.
Positive actions yesterday: I went grocery shopping, came home and prepped veggies for easy salad fixings. I also cooked several veggies so they are ready to be reheated and eaten this week. I have Baja soup, cooked beans, cooked veggies and potatoes, and salad in the refrigerator. Hopefully I'll make some good choices the rest of the week.
This morning I went to the sleep center to follow up on my sleep apnea condition. Reports from the CPAP machine are all good. She said when I lose another 10-20 lbs. I could have another sleep study to see if the sleep apnea has been treated with weight loss. That's great news. The doctor prescribed a drug to help me sleep. It's not a controlled substance and I can take it as needed. Hopefully it will help with the night-time eating.
Today's eats:
WW pasta artichoke bowl w/ mushrooms and kale and other veggies
Tonight: I've got the Grandpa's Eatloaf in the oven! Plan to have mashed potatoes and salad
I've been hungry this afternoon but just trying to get busy doing something else. I'm trying to eat less today because I ate more calories than I really wanted to yesterday. (Trying to think like a thin person
)
I'm considering applying for a job that I saw posted today. It scares me to put myself out there! Interviews with several people, give a job talk presentation... I'm 60 years young/old. Do people really hire older people to work? I'm in the process of applying for my retirement from the school system. One thought I had about it all was that I'm glad I've been losing weight. I'll feel more confident in the job interviews - if I decide to go for it! What could it hurt, right?!
