Every Wednesday I weigh myself. Its getting close to a year Ive been on a diet. I am in the most difficult part of any diet, staying at goal weight. Once you reqch your goal, you have to start eating a little more every day to just maintain. It is tempting as hell and very easy, to fall back to your former bad eating habits. I do it. I like all the foods with bad ingredients and loads of carbs. And alcohol, I like that too. Today, after another week of hard work, I am back down to 154.4. I dropped 1.1 lbs. better than a gain. But, we are going into Christmas and thats load up season. I am back to working out but that also has its issues. You have to eat more when you work out so your body doesnt start holding on to calories. It does that. And, lifting weights builds muscle and you gain weight and you have to be able to tell how you are doing. Like is this fat gain or muscle gain? Its a dilemna even for an OCD. We will have to revisit this next Wednesday.
I had a dentist appointment this morning at 9. Emily will be going in my stead. The dentist cancelled her last appointment when he got sick and never reset it. I had mine and not that long ago. Seems a fair trade. My teeth are in good shape. Emily made an appointment for me for next week.
I did go work out this morning. I was late going to the gym because I received several work phone calls which required my pereonal attention. Sadly. But I did get there and I did get my workout done. It was not easy, as a matter of fact todays workout was painful. Maybe I did myself some good.
I went home and was running late for my appointment. I called her and rescheduled for 2pm. My next appointment at noon cancelled ans rescheduled for next week. Now Im not running late anymore. Not so hard. Now I have time to go to the bank on the way to work. I love it when appointments cancel. It really improves my day.
Ready, set, and off to work. I did not make it to the bank because I needed something from the office. I still have plenty of work to do at the office. I did not have any visitors today except for Blake from ADP. Its his birthday today and I bought him a botttle of my favorite Tequila. So we shared a couple glasses. Fine use of our time.
I managed to finish some work today. A few things I even got paid for. A couple tax returns. While sitting here at work I got word both kids are home for the holidays. And rwo dogs and a cat too. They both have not been home together for almost a year. It is nice to see them once in awhile.
I got home about 715. Emily made stew, wasnt too bad. Mine is better but hers is here. Its good, but I do like mine better though. We sat and ate stew and drank some of the wine Marika brought home. After dinner the kids wanted to go the a local pub Winters, Green Tiver Brewing. We are sitting here now. I like this place, its self service and you can pour as little or as much as you want. As much as I enjoy this system I would rather someone take care of me. And pour my drink. But I am sitting here with the family listening to them solve the worlds problems. And discuss wine. Which is not a problem.
Well emily and Marika managed to get pleasantly drunk. I am sober. But I dont throw it down. Emily is having a little issue with her balance while walking. Nothing major.
We got home by 1130 and he reql adulrs went to bed.
