I Feel Good

I walked tonight and I walked Monday morning. It feels good, a bit invigorating. Before I left for my walk tonight, I was ready for sleep, but I feel good now, more awake. I have been eating well this week, having decided that since I don't really like the lettuce in salads, I could just skip the lettuce. I've been making cucumber, red pepper, radish, cherry tomato, avocado, sunflower seed salads for lunch. Don't need no dressing, don't need no lettuce. And I am surprised that I feel full after I eat this salad. I have been putting a little spinach and basil in, too. Cool.

I am also happy to report that this morning, I broke the 145 plane and weighed in at 144.8. Finally, a sense of some success. By my loose calcualtion, I have two days of 20 points--kind of unheard of for me. I am grateful for those 2pt. Hershey's snacks--I get my chocolate and it feels good. I have also been having either a hard-boiled egg or Activa cheese snack at school. I hope tomorrow morning looks good, too.

I still can't figure out why at school as soon as the kids leave I want to stuff my face. Is it because I know there are so many goodies there? Should I allow no goodies in my room? Currently, I have no oreos, but right now, I am not even inerested.

I hate to admit that when I try to "be good" and see no change, I figure, what the *&%$. So I feel positive and successful right now.

This weekend--Football at the Rose Bowl--will be challenging. We're talking about grilling salmon (good), but there is Kettle Corn (bad) and chips and, probably, margaritas.

Anyway, I feel good. Right now.
