176 stats

Yesterday's long walk went great--though I still think I'm fighting this weird virus.  The body is funny--last week's 90 min walk really tired my legs out. Yesterday was 2 21/2 hours and I'm just fine. It's as though my legs were reminded--"oh yeah, walk--we do that."  Food and time wise were both weird yesterday. Yesterday and this whole next week I fear, will be overshadowed by statistics. I have a test coming up, which would be fine, except that I'm going to Denver for a conference during the days immediately before the test when I would normally be studying for it. I'm going to miss the class review, and I'll have to have my homework in early. Catherine will come home next weekend so that wipes out next Saturday's study plans too. Still, I should be fine, provided that I work hard. The concepts aren't difficult, it's just so darn easy to make a mistake. Anyway--time yesterday just raced away--I got up and was out the door by 9 for my long walk--gorgeous autumn day for it. I reviewed some stats, then went to the library to pick up a hold, and downtown to the street vendors for tacos.  THEY WEREN'T THERE! There's construction in the area. I had no backup plans for lunch. And I really wasn't hungry, but I'd only had/wanted 1 pumpkin muffin during my walk and I figured I needed something.  The Greek Festival was going on, but they always have huge lines. Using true addictive convoluted thinking I reasoned that I should get greek food from the mall because I probably wouldn't want any dinner and so the points would sort of be ok.  Turned out to be true.  I ate my fully loaded gyro plate---meat, salad, pita bread, fries with extra white sauce while studying.  Vacummed, studied some more, took a nap, went to Women's conference, did some late night shopping and called it a day. 

Today will be more normal point-wise, but still way overbalanced with almost all points coming tonight. I'll have one pancake for b-fast with fruit.  A blt for lunch, and a big fajita dinner with guac and chips and black beans and for dessert 1/2 cup of mint ice-cream (new receipe from the new dieter's cookbook) and a new ww dish--apple pie wontons.  Sounds yummy.  It feels so good to be in the 180's.
