and half bad. But I'm being better than I usually am on a trip to PA. After all the talk about how I wasn't doing breakfast with everyone in the morning and only eating Cheerios, my mom came in this morning to wake me up to eat. I don't think in 27 years she's ever done that. But Jimi made breakfast so I think that may have had something to do with it. I fought with myself a little about what I was going to eat. I told them I wasn't being rude but I couldn't eat all that they had to offer. I got myself a bowl of Cheerios with milk and a banana. I traded in the big dinner plate for a salad plate and took maybe only 1/4 cup of scrambled eggs (which were delicious---cheese in them) and a half a biscuit with maybe two tablespoons of sausage gravy (homemade, also super delicious). I didn't eat all of the cereal, but I did eat all the banana so I got some fruit in today. I so wanted more, but instead of sitting around the table I got up and started washing dishes. I nibbled on a tiny piece of a donut and then at lunch I had 1/2 piece of pizza and a 1/4-1/2 serving of the supper leftovers. I know if I add up my points I'm probably a little bit up there, but its hard to say. I find it so hard to estimate sometimes.
Now I'm in a sticky situation because my dad wants us to go to a local restaurant for supper. Its so freakin' good. I don't think there's a single healthy thing in the place. OK, maybe there is but that defeats going there. I just found myself telling my mom to eat without me because I might be busy, but I don't think that is true. I am afraid to go there and ruin a few days of good work. I know whats on the menu for the party on Sunday and I think I may have to skip breakfast and lunch and still maybe go buy some of my own hot dogs or something so I can eat within reason and know the points value. This is about the time I start to have a "this is too hard" breakdown and I go back to my old ways. But I really don't want to do that. And my "stay in the weight range for work" motivation really is working. I'm impressed.
I am waiting to hear back if Laura wants to go out for the afternoon but I don't think that's going to work out. So, I think I'm going to nap because I'm lazy and then head out shopping for a bit. I have nothing to shop for but it will get me walking. I'd go for a walk outside but its way too windy. There are just some weather conditions I refuse to go out in unless I'm getting paid to (honestly) and that includes wind, rain, and ice. Unfortunately I don't think anyone is paying me to walk in the wind today. Good day for the windmills though. We have a windmill farm up here that has 47, 300 foot windmills that produce energy for 19,000 homes. Kinda neat, especially when you see them all lined up on the horizon.
