I had a really lovely long weekend visiting Derek. We mostly just enjoyed each other's company... we read together and walked around and stuff. My eating was very healthy throughout except when I insisted Derek go to the hospital for a big bite that turned his hand swollen and bright red (he's fine). I should have brought food with me to the hospital... it was late so they only had vending machines, and because I was worried about his hand situation I hadn't been able to eat my dinner before leaving. Anyways. Other than that, I cooked beautiful, healthy, high protein and high fibre foods. Flying back to CA tomorrow and NOT eating the cheese crackers they offer ;)
I did some exercise too, mostly walking. I guess I don't have much to write about, just think I should keep checking in every few days.
Actually: I do have something new to report! I am planning a "birthday present" for myself. I have an excel sheet in which I rate my eating and exercise on a 0-5 scale and my productivity on a 0-10 scale, total the score (15+is good), score my mood 0-5 and energy level 0-5, and take notes. I have this every day from today (September 3) through November 3 (the day before my birthday). It will be my present to myself to focus on eating and working out well, and making the most of my days. If I like this system I'll upgrade it for Thanksgiving, New Years, and other milestones. I don't have a lb goal for my birthday - partly because it would be sad to not get there - but my goal is to use my excel sheet every day.
Gonna post this picture of a new dress here... I feel great in it! It's from the 1960s.
You should feel good in that dress. You look amazing!
