Phew! I am WELL exercised today and proud of myself. Yesterday we did go to the mall and just to compound the temptations there is a new place at the food court--Teazers.. Perfect name. Hot wings, gourmet burgers and nachos. All the things I like best. Sometime I'll go down specifically to have all of that, but not last night. I really did go to Subways. I had a club--wanted a roast beef--one of their better options, but the roast beef was frozen, so I just a little extra turkey on the club. I also had a yogurt parfait. No idea what the points where but it was 190 cal with 2 grams of fat. The idea was to fill up on healthy things so I wouldn't inhale too much movie popcorn. I'm not sure if that worked or not. We got a large tub, and Dave also got some chocolate covered almonds. By the end of the movie (much better the second time round), most of the tub was gone, but I'm not sure if I was the one who ate most of it or Dave. Anyway movie popcorn and all I was 190 this morning.
It's been a good day. I slept in until 9. Had a bowl of cheerios and went for my 90 minute walk. It was probably closer to a two hour walk. I went in the direction of Manor Care rehab center thinking to visit Sis. Mead if the distance was at all close--it was! About 50 min from my house to her. I visited with her for about a 1/2 an hour. Then I took another detour to the Pleasant Valley library--which I swear had moved farther down the road--paid off my fine, checked out just a few things (didn't want to haul 40 pounds in my backpack) and got home about 3 hours after I'd left. My legs are more tired than I think they should be. I had a good lunch of leftover gyro stuff. Worked on Catherine's mural a little bit, and took my phone interruptions downstairs where I have begun to clean out and reclaim my craft closet. My goals for today are to mow the lawn (more exercise!), the craft closet and to spend 1/2 hour on pictures. I have not handled the transition to digital cameras very well. We take hundreds of pics and then they are never seen again. I'm still not quite sure how to handle them, but the first thing I want is to get them all on well labeled disks or jump drives. I always put off the project because I'm never sure where the cords are and how to get the computer to work etc etc etc. But that's not going to change unless I tackle the project, so 1/2 an hour it is. I have 16 points left for dinner and I'm calling this week a very good week and who knows? I might even see the magic 189 again tomorrow.
