Midshift, Cars and Cheesecake
I had a very great weekend. I re-started that “Night-time Eating” thread and so far I’ve had two days of No Bingeing in a row, even though right now that means that when I wake up during the day I have to go back to bed because “night-time” right now is the middle of the day because I am on MidShift… AKA Graveyard Shift AKA Third Shift.
I have been keeping up with all the walking and Gazelle-ing but I really need to work on push-ups and sit-ups.
With just two days of eating right and exercise and not binge eating, my weight went back down to about 147. So I’m not sure what to use as my “official weight”. I guess we’ll just say I’m “right around” 150 pounds. Which is fine.
In Other News… we bought a car. A 2004 Kia Optima that is pretty cool. I’m happy with the purchase and I think we got a good deal.
My friend’s birthday was Sunday night and we went to Golden Corrall which I love. I had a small salad with fat free catalina dressing, then some steamed broccoli and roasted chicken from which I took the skin off.
Later when we went back to their place to celebrate I did not have even one piece of cheesecake or birthday cake I just drank coffee with sugar free cocoa powder and sugar free caramel syrup. Yes, I felt pretty virtuous but it was funny…
Everyone else has pretty much gorged at G.C., eating lots of rolls and macaroni and cheese and stuffing and yams and they just kept going back again and again and then they went back and complained about how “stuffed” they were and how they needed to “work off the calories” and everyone was talking like this and THEN they still went and almost forced themselves to eat the cheesecake and cake. So I just sat there and drank my coffee and I felt perfectly happy passing up the cheesecake.
I knew beforehand that it would be there and I told myself if I really wanted some, I would have some. But then when it was time to eat dessert, I just wanted the coffee and the chocolate caramel flavor satisfied my sweet tooth just fine, with only about 30 calories.
We are hosting a Halloween Party this weekend.
And my Sister In law is finally back from 6 months in Iraq. I cannot wait to see her.
