I went to the gym yesterday to make up for not going on Monday, and then I walked Davey for two miles last night so between those two events I got in five miles, not counting any other walking around I did during the day (which has been more than normal--the bathroom closest to me at work is closed for six weeks for renovation so I'm having to hike to get to a bathroom!).
Food, however, was a mess yesterday. Fine in the morning (cereal, coffee, an apple mid-morning), then I got really hungry at 11:30 so I ate part of my lunch then (string cheese, crackers) then went to a Ramadan/Rosh Hashana event at 12:30 and they had a full lunch there! Seemed kind of odd to have a full lunch when you know that half of the event is geared towards telling us all about fasting for a month, but then, this was sponsored by the Jewish student group. Anyway, it was one of those situations where it would have been strange not to eat anything so I had half a slice of cheese, three triscuit-like crackers, and two cookies. Then after the gym, I had a nectarine. So that wasn't so bad. What was bad was when I got home I ate dinner (pasta, ham and peas) then ate four chocolate chip cookies, seven or eight tootsie rolls, half a bag of microwave popcorn (one of the tiny bags, but half of that has more calories than the full size bags of the light popcorn we have) and about a quarter of a beer. I wasn't hungry for most of it--I just wanted to eat!
I like Amy's idea of a grown-up behavior chart. Now that I have vitamins, I keep forgetting to take one each day, so I'd put that on. Plus exercise, water, flossing, fruits and vegetables, etc. I could do it like I did when I was potty training Claire--get a certain number of stickers (or checks) and you get a prize!
