Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
Sitting around the house is nice sometimes but it does lead to boredom, which often times leads to wanting to eat junk. Glad the temptations didn't lead to more than just a frozen yogurt outing!
ReplyDeleteLazy weekends are nice (and needed) once in awhile, but I find I need to keep myself occupied to avoid the temptation to wander into the kitchen and do mindless munching. That's what led me to my high weight and I do NOT want to go back there again. Hope the scale is much kinder to you this week!
ReplyDeleteMBB- I agree. I'm fine when I work from home but man, when I know there's some freedom in the reigns, that's not good to be sitting around the homestead! Gotta say I am glad that even if I went a little higher than usual, it was on something like froyo!
ReplyDeleteDenise- Definitely! When I have nothing to do it's like that old boredom eating gene wants to kick in. Thankfully not much damage is done!
I can relate to that sister. It seems the more bored you are the more you want to eat which just stinks. Thankfully I have been so busy on the weekends I haven't had a chance to sit around bored and eat. Course I'm eating other bad things so it isn't exactly a good thing but you get my point.
ReplyDeleteCrossing fingers and toes for the scale next week. Good job on the first lower calorie day :)
I think you did very well!
ReplyDeleteFood obsession is the worst and I sometimes wonder if I'll ever truly get away from that. This is a new plan for you guys, so it'll probably take a few weeks to get into a groove. Great job on hitting some good numbers, though and looking at the positives. Change is incremental and that's just what you guys did for this first weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have the hardest time with just sitting around too. I don't think it used to bother me, but anymore I get so bored so quick if I'm not doing something. Then bored translates to "oh, look, there's the kitchen".
ReplyDeleteI so hear you on this. Mine is for different reasons - as you know I had my surgery on the 27th (ANITAWPG from Saprks) so I am off work recovering. 1st week no problem - I felt to pathetic to want to eat anyways, and had to actually make msyelf eat as I knew it was important to eat healthy to help with recovery.
ReplyDeleteSo now I still can't do much - no lifting, no strecthing, no straining - and I get tired quick from walking still - but I also am ot falling asleep all the time so now I am getting bored - and when I get bored I eat.
I joked with my husband that everything had to be kept high or on the floor - he has been a dear - canatloupe, watermelon, celery and jicame all chopped and in contaienrs in the fridge, grapes washed and frozen so at lest if I am going to snack there are healthy choices that I like.
However, boredom and eating do so seem to go hand in hand.
Ah well, the more I heal the more I can do.
