Day Eighty

Can't believe I'm on Day Eighty already! This morning when I pulled on my pants I felt a little discouraged because I still have to pull on the waistband to get them buttoned. But I have to remember that before I started, I could hardly get them on at all -- and I'm in this for the long haul.

I had a terrible night's sleep last night for no reason at all that I can figure out. My legs hurt, so I should have gotten up and taken Advil, but I was in that hazy state where you're awake but not thinking sensibly. I slept in a bit this morning. Hope I will get through this day all right. I have to clean -- all the things I usually put off -- and I'm not feeling much energy.

I'm supposed to go to a Happy Hour in the city, but I'm thinking I will call off, unless I really rebound during the day.

Yesterday I grocery-shopped at Aldi - spent $43 and this is what I got: Baby carrots, Spring mix salad, canned stewed tomatoes, bananas, Honeycrisp apples, pantiliners, frozen Brussels sprouts, biscuit mix, barbecue sauce, canned mushrooms, almond milk, chocolate-orange bites, chocolate-raspberry bites, bacon bits, honey-roasted peanuts, creamer, blueberries, sandwich bags, kitty litter, and ice cream. I think that's pretty good!

Variables spending is now at 41%. And this weekend, with my BFF visiting, will push it up more. Then I'll have a two-week respite before I begin my Florida trip on May 31 -- but I will have to buy printer ink before the end of the month.

Another baseball game yesterday evening, and another cool evening on the stands. Tonight (if I forgo the Happy Hour) it's Tae Kwan Do, which is indoors and comfortable.

    Almost more impressive than the fact that you're sticking to your new eating plan is the fact that you've been able to consistently record it! Great job! Also, $43 for all of those grocery items is amazing! Smile

    Rachael, I don't weigh myself -- it's a personal decision. I do a lot better when I just focus on the effort and not on the results (I am a very slow loser -- slow metabolism). I figure when I reach Day Three Hundred and Sixty-Five, the results will be obvious, and I'll weigh myself then, and revise my plan, hopefully for maintenance.
