🎈🎉🎈Happy Birthday 🎈🎉🎈for yesterday.0 -
Busy Sunday, but the weather was wonderful for being outdoors. We did some serious work in the garden and then biked along the bay to a super casual, outdoor seafood place for lunch. On the way back, I got a text from my son asking if I'd look over his resume and cover letter for a job he wants to apply for. After four years in NC, he and his partner are looking to change jobs and move a little closer to family and friends - I'm certainly not complaining. Anything within 4 hours is reasonable for a weekend visit
I should have a fairly easy week at work (no major assignments to comment on) so I'm going to focus on getting the house in shape for summer guests. My sister and her oldest daughter will be visiting next weekend, so the house-cleaning has to take priority over the garden and more fun exercise. Oh, well. The challenge will be to stay on track with meals and not grab convenience food or fill up on snacks. Here's hoping that June challenge will keep me on the right path.

I ran out of time to eat because I was helping my dad and Monday afternoon is busy. Also I ran out of chicken. So I had peanut butter toast. So I'm a little low on protein too. I should have had tuna fish, but I didn't think of it. Well, at least I made up the calories from Sunday. As long as I don't have any late night snacking, but I think I've broken that habit. Yay!

Well I have been hungry this afternoon, and I cooked my chicken but I also ate 100 calories of candy. Not so bad if it stops there, but my history does not bode well. I need to have better snacks on hand.
My cousin is coming this weekend so I bought some cookies and muffins for him. I really want a muffin, so I will have to make room for it. Too many special occasions!

Well, I finally gave in on the candy. My mom keeps York peppermint patties on the counter, and I had two. Not so bad because I stopped at two. But still not a great way to spend my calories.
Funny how I totally convinced myself that dried apricots counted as fresh fruit. I've got room for improvement there. I do eat blueberries on my oatmeal daily, and spinach salad three times a week. So I average maybe two servings a day.

Did a lot of walking yesterday, though some of it was browsing round some shops, so not counting that part. A little bit of guesswork on the challenge, but think I'm pretty close. So the first week of the month...over on the walking, so good there, but also over on the snacking, not so good.

Not been posting goals or logging the past few days. The weekend got away from me and I didn't ride. It really throws me into a funk when there is a nice day and I waste it. Yesterday my intake was good (though I didn't log) and I rode which helps my mood. Even when the ride sucks like it did yesterday, it still boosts my mood.
Rainy day today, so we'll probably just go play trivia.

Oh, I got a new Garmin because my old one wasn't charging, and I was just ready for a new watch. Now of course the old one is charging after I cleaned the connections. It's a Garmin 735XT with GPS and other fancy stuff. It works with the free Garmin Connect app. Check it out. If anybody is interested in a new (used) fitness tracker you can have this one. I'd just ask you pay shipping (PayPal or Venmo). Message me!2 -
Hour commitment - I'll be gone up north for a few days for our niece's graduation. I'll check in with hour commitments as neede.0

Yesterday was such a crazy day that I did not even have time to write down goals. I did get my steps in, but only because I HAD to go for a walk for stress-reduction purposes. My interview is done and now my potential job switch is out of my hands, so I can relax a bit. The rest of the week should be more low-key...and I am planning to go out dancing this weekend for the first time in YEARS!

I had some semi-sweet baking chocolate but I don't consider that candy. Maybe I should because my history with it is not great, as far as overdoing the Non- freggie calories. But not today since I haven't had any of this for weeks. It was that or ice cream at twice the calorie count.
So it's just past two and I am done eating for the day. It would be like intermittent fasting if I hadn't gotten up and eaten at five. Just a long day to finish.

@littleblackskirt - I count walking in shops as as exercise since I’ve been trying to build back up.
@Anniesquats100 - I would have trouble passing those candies too.
I also have had a snacky day today.
I had my gyno appointment today, she did a biopsy but doesn’t feel that there is anything for me to worry about. She believes the issue I was having from October to January was hormone related.
I applied for 3 jobs tonight. I applied for the position I originally saw, but when I logged into Indeed there were two others that I just couldn’t overlook. All of them pay at minimum 4.00 an hour more than I’m currently making and all have benefits and such.
I am not really expecting a call on any of them as each of them has a program that I am not familiar with. It is good to apply and keep my resume up to date though.4 -
Yesterday wasn't a great day, it rained all day and when I nipped into the village I got soaked. At least it meant I got a short walk in.

No outdoor exercise yesterday, but the house looks decent. Just need to freshen up the guest rooms. I haven't done much in the garden this week, but the weather hasn't been great. I might be able to get a bit done after my meeting this morning, but we'll see.
My grandson has to give a "how-to" presentation on Friday. He's enjoyed cooking since he was quite young, so he he's decided to make penne with vodka sauce, something we've done together a few times. He's supposed to do the cooking at home and have his mom take photos of each step. My daughter has a tiny kitchen and has never made the sauce, so I suggested she bring him over here and we can all have dinner together. It's a good thing he's not making it at school - I can't imagine the teacher would be happy with a 12-year-old bringing in a bottle of vodka, lol. (The alcohol evaporates, but it does make a difference in the sauce.) That solves my problem of what to make for dinner tonight, but I have a feeling that I'll go over my calorie limit, even with a big salad to balance the meal. My sister will be visiting, so I intend to relax and enjoy the weekend.
I met my mid-year weight goal this week, just in time for my appointment with the cardiologist next week. I'm finally rid of the nearly 40 pounds I gained in the first 15 months of the pandemic, so I think he'll be pleased. Most importantly, I feel so much better than I did last summer. My goal for the rest of the year is to focus on healthy habits - sticking to a well-balanced, low-sodium Mediterranean style food plan and getting regular exercise. Losing another 10 pounds would take me out of the "overweight" category, but maintaining healthy habits is more important, so I'll be working with a smaller calorie deficit going forward. Summer will be a challenge, but hopefully I can take advantage of all the lovely fresh produce and keep the treats in check.

Okay, so yesterday was a caloric fail due to alcohol. I was doing well until it started storming. We decided to stay at the bar until it eased up and then we started playing pool. Then things just went down hill... Oh well.
Nothing planned today except meetings and more meetings.0
