    Here comes the weekend and I have a meal out planned at an Ethiopian restaurant tomorrow, so a bit of a danger zone. We're getting a sharing platter so I intend to just try a little bit of everything and leave the lion's share to my OH, who can eat whatever he wants with no bad effect! No idea how I'm meant to track it accurately, I'll just aim to eat what looks like 300 calories and stop.

    I don't know what Ethiopian food entails! I do know that I am terrible at eye-balling calories in food. Lol. Maybe there is an entry already in MFP that you can check, just to get an idea, before you go?

    Thanks for the positive words on my work absences, btw! I appreciate it. I am trying my best. :)

    It’s a sunny Saturday here in ne Indiana. All that bright light after a lot of gloom lifts my spirits, especially since I eat more when it’s gray and cold outside. Have a lovely Saturday, all!

    2/12 - 178.6
    Boom. But no surprise. I’ve had several days way over calories so my calories average is about 400 over goal. I’m eating even when I’m not hungry. Aaagghhhh. I’ve got to get a grip. I know how to lose weight and very consciously sabotage myself. Why? Well, it’s supposed to warm up today, so I’ll try to get my butt in gear for a long-ish walk with Booker. He’s only 3 months old, so not up to miles and miles yet, but he can still get me out for some exercise. Anyone know any good books or articles on the psychology of overeating? My eating is clearly emotional, not physiological. Sigh.

    2/13 - 178.2
    Thanks for the reading & podcast recommendations! I’ll look into them. I’m feeling more upbeat today — maybe it’s the sunshine. Off now to see our tax guy, and then buy a new collar for Booker—he’s growing fast! I’m planning a nice long sniff walk with him this afternoon, and a nice healthy food day for me—I had one egg cooked with avocado oil spray + 1 slice of Dave’s Good Seed Thin for breakfast, and planning salad and a small apple for lunch, and boiled shrimp and oven roasted sweet potato (a little olive oil and spices) for dinner. If I’m hungry later, I’ll stick to bouillon. I’ll letcha know if I stick to the plan! I’m hoping that posting it will keep me honest.

    2/14 - 178.8
    I was closer to the track yesterday. Steering that way today. Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️

    2/15 - 178.4
    Chocolates from my sweetie, and Italian for dinner.

    2/16 - 179.6
    Ah, yeah, there’s the delayed kaboom from Val Day chocolates (I ate way too many), manicotti, and salty dinner yesterday. Oh, well. I’ll try to stifle myself today and tomorrow and…. It’s a gloomy, rainy, windy day here but I’m planning to video some of Booker’s trick training, work on a painting, write, and read. I’m trying to reduce the stack of to-be-read books on my nightstand—DH is afraid they’ll fall over and kill me. 😂 Have a good one, you beautiful, inspiring people!

    2/17 - 179
    Ok, slowly dropping back down. DH made old-fashioned tuna casserole for dinner Wed. night, and leftovers last night, so not exactly weight-loss friendly—but tasted great! Back to leaner food today. I am doing better with the snacking, though still not perfect.
