Today's Good Things:
Good day for lessons
Did well eating to recover from overeating yesterday
Fun night out mallwalking with the fam
Date with my dd to get hair cuts

Today's Not So Good Things:
Overslept and missed bible time
Still not getting in my 15's

Yesterday was going so well. Then I overate in a big way for dinner. Ended up feeling horrible that night too, and couldn't fall asleep until almost 2am. Blech. Not worth the calories, that's for sure!

Today I've been in Recovery Mode trying to clean out my system and make up for the ground I lost. I did pretty well. Grapefruit for breakfast, large salad for lunch, some dry cereal for an afternoon snack and a 6 inch. sub for dinner. We walked 1.5mile around the mall tonite too. So, I ended the day with 400 calories to spare. Add that to the 100 extra from a couple of days ago and I still have some work to do to break even. It's insane that one meal can undo a whole week's worth of work. Lesson Learned.

I'm still aiming for 1500 per day on calories and that's going well, except for last night. Ahem. Overall, it seems that I can use the 1500 as a good gauge. However, if I add in exercise, I do find I start feeling tired easily and a little weak. So, I will have to be sure to eat back my calories burned and keep watching for any loss of supply as I go.

I'm having a hard time getting in my water these days. I'm not sure why. It was never hard to drink more than my current goal. I was actually thirsty for that much water. But, lately, I just haven't wanted to drink it. I'm either not thirsty or the water just tastes blah. Oh well, it's not the first time I've forced something down because it's good for me. ;-)

I got some great reading done the other day in my book. I'm hopeful I'll have some time tonite to add a bit to my notes here. It all depends on Baby Dear, though. ;-)
