Sugar

A tough two days---and both successes and failures on all fronts. Worst, was sugaring out on Thursday. I'd already lost control at work (those pepperidge farm chessmen are fantastic), and eaten more cookies and chocolate than I needed. As a consequence, I wasn't hungry for dinner. So I went visiting teaching without. Ooops. One family had made homemade chocolate Easter candies and offered us some. I SHOULD have asked for one to take home. I've done that before with this family, but I didn't. I ate the homemade reeses egg. Declined seconds--not out of virtue, but because I was already slightly nauseous from sugar. Did not decline when they found the last almond joy egg. Those are my favorite!! And then they had just made homemade rootbeer--I never get homemade rootbeer. They offered a float. I asked for a tiny float. and for once I really meant it.  This family doesn't do tiny. Delicous, but bleeeech.  When I came home I felt as though I needed to eat something real just to absorb all the sugar.

Yesterday was graduation. Catherine was beautiful. It was a lovely ceremony.  Calorie-wise, I didn't do great, but thinking-wise wasn't too bad. I had a small breakfast because that's all I wanted. I ate a reasonable lunch at home rather than the free graduation buffet. I ordered a single scoop of icecream (this place doesn't do single scoop--it was more like three), but didn't finish--although I did have too many spoonfuls of others people's whipped cream and fudge. None of us ate too much of the rib dinner, but no doubt I still ate too much. So, no star yesterday, but no real guilt either. I will try in earnest for the next three days and then I'm off to Disneyland! There are no calories at Disneyland. Which is actually mostly true--for the amount of exercise Disney demands, I usually do all right. Menu is already planned for when we get back. Now, I'm off to work out on this rainy day.
