I feel somewhat down today. I’ve been trying to figure out why. I’m sure it’s partly because John has been sick. It’s hard for me to feel upbeat when John is miserable. And because he’s been sick, he hasn’t been at work, and the office atmosphere is different. I haven’t been running. I have all kinds of excuses (temps in the teens, sleepless nights ’cause John is sleepless, rain this morning), but it still boils down to not running. I feel better when I run regularly, and I haven’t been doing that for a while. I also haven’t been watching my eating as much. I need to get back to my good habits from the summer. That combination (no running, not being careful about eating) has one MAJOR consequence for me. I have put somewhere between 5 and 7 pounds back on. Yeah, I know that’s not really a lot, but it means the scale is going in the wrong direction!
I behaved myself at breakfast and lunch today, but those are usually not my problem meals. It’s dinner. It’s always dinner. But I’m going to Subway tonight so I can be good. 6″ turkey on wheat with spicy mustard and green peppers. It’s calling out my name.
I can do this.

Hang in there. There are always going to be setbacks. And I think there’s a period of time when seasons change where you haven’t quite segued from one type of diet to another. Give yourself a break and figure out what winter meals and snacks are going to be like. Sorry we were so busy this evening. It’s like everybody has suddenly realized that we really are leaving this week and wants to spend time with us.
