Still not feeling 100% yet. I was totally exhausted when I got home from work yesterday, so I laid on the couch for an hour until I had to go pick up DS13, so no run/walk outside.
I was supposed to drive DS16 to a board of ed meeting at school last night (and wait around til it was over), but another mom, who sits on the board, called to offer to drive him both ways. As much as I wanted to loaf on the couch, I thought I'd try to make good use of my newfound time. I walked on the treadmill for 2 miles and did some exercises on the mat with some weights. Food intake was pretty decent, I did have one piece of candy at work. They try to wear me down, there were donuts, cupcakes, candy. I don't even feel like I enjoyed it as much as I should have, so I was able to stop at one.
In the past, it would start with one, then it would be like crack, I'd have to keep going back for a little more, until I was disgusted with myself. I love not letting this control me anymore. And it feels great when I get on the scale and see results from these decisions. I know a day will come (probably soon), when the scale isn't going to move much, and that's when it's easy to slip back into the bad habits since the rationale is "well this isn't working anyway, why not enjoy myself". Mentally preparing myself for that now, so hopefully when it comes, I won't slip.
Today I have to take Cynthia to the Dr. (she's my ipad). She had a little fall this weekend and has a crack across the screen I was messing around with the HDMI cable trying to get a movie to run through the tv, and when I moved the cord from one input to another, I must've tugged on the cord a little and pulled her off the table. Fortunately someone left their dirty socks on the floor and she landed mostly on that. The crack is barely noticable, but I know it's there. So I made an appointment at the Apple store. I've read many reports about Apple replacing the ipad or screen for free (one time only), but I'm skeptical and a bit nervous about the outcome. If it's rediculously expensive (I've heard reports of anywhere from $100-$400, but mostly free), I'll probably just leave it as it's just two fine lines. While I'm in the mall there is a Disney store and I have $50 in shopping dollars (bonus cards from sams with the $100 giftcards). So I'll sooth myself with some Disney merchandise.
So I will get on the treadmill later tonight and maybe do some more stuff on the mat.
