Quiet afternoon

After I threw away the cookies I took a nap. And then I took another nap. All I've done today is let Bayou in and out. I was going to go to the store to pick up a few things but decided to wait until tomorrow. I'll be dropping Bayou off at daycare tomorrow morning and can go to the store after that. I also have an appointment with Alicia at 11:30am. And then of course there's my WW meeting at 5:30pm. So I'll be busy tomorrow. It's nice to not be busy today.

I had a PB&J sandwich and chips for lunch. I had some grapes for a snack this afternoon. Chips are the next thing that need to go for me. We go through 2 bags of chips in less than a week. Chips aren't good for either of us. It will be difficult but I'm not going to buy any chips. I still have some pretzels and some tortilla chips. I don't eat as many of those. Chips are loaded with salt and that makes me retain water. I don't need that to happen. I really like to have chips every day at lunch but I'm going to have to do something different. Popcorn would be a good substitution for chips. I can have a lot more and it wouldn't be as bad as chips. I'll get some of the 94% FF popcorn and eat that instead.

I have to start making better choices in the food I eat. If I want to lose weight I have to make some changes. I can't eat like I did and expect any weight loss. I know if I make healthier choices I can eat more than I'm eating now and still lose weight. With junk food I have to eat less and I gain weight. It's so ironic how that works.

I realized that one of the reasons that I'm nervous about using the treadmill in the clubhouse is because it is so close to the wall. The end of it backs right up to that wall. I think I'm afraid of falling and breaking the wall. Now that may seem funny at first but honestly it would be humiliating to me if it happened. I'm just going to have to walk slow until I'm used to walking on the treadmill. That, or walk outside. If I'm outside and my knee or foot starts really hurting I have to keep walking until I get back home. If I'm on the treadmill I can just stop. I think I'll try the treadmill first and then hopefully I can get outside to walk within a month or so. The weather is beautiful and it would be nice to walk at Palmer Park. I don't want to get ahead of myself though. First I have to be able to walk for at least 20 minutes before I can even consider walking at Palmer Park. It will come though.

So tomorrow I will drop Bayou off at daycare, come back and use the treadmill, take a shower and then go to the store. I should have plenty of time to do all that before I have to leave for my appointment with Alicia. I already have a plan for dinner tomorrow (BLT's) and I'll get the bacon cooked when I get home from my appointment. That way David can eat before I leave for my meeting and I can eat after my meeting since I weigh in. Sounds like a plan.
