299 The little things

I think I am, with extreme reluctance, getting more used to watching out for the little things.  Last night's dinner is good example.  I had fun with it. I had an appetizer night and fixed "buffalo" nuggets, zucchini crisps, deviled eggs, hummus and chips, potato skins, kimchee and veggies. It's sounds really fattening, but it wasn't every single item was made very light and healthy and it was satisfying--I couldn't help but think how much I would have liked to have added olives and bluecheese dressing and baguettes to the dinner, but each of THOSE things would have really racked up the fat and calories. I passed, and was just fine. Especially since TODAY I have baguette and olives as part of my lunch.

I'll be glad when the weather is a little warmer. I'm struggling with getting out and running--and opted out yesterday choosing to ride the bike instead. Today I'll be fine, because I have wellness time during work hours, but tomorrow needs some thinking---I want to go to SLC after work--I could drive up and then go to the gym for my 10 minute run, but I think the walk there and back is more beneficial than the run. I could walk AND do the run, but by the time I change clothes walk up to the gym and walk home...that's more time than I want to spend. But really---say 20 minutes to half an hour? Is that really going to derail my SLC effort? Probaby not, especially if I have dinner ready to go to eat in the car.
