Aw, thank you so much for the support, ladies. I really appreciate that. I hope you all had a fine Mother's Day. I was glad it falls on a Sunday!
Sunday/ Mother's Day was my rockiest S day thus far. It started out with sugar and that sets the stage for things to go sideways. DH had bought me two pastries from another town on the Tuesday before Mother's Day and vac-sealed them, plus Cap'n Crunch (it is so ridiculous, I LOVE Cap'n Crunch so I can't keep it around) and a few slices of bacon. Well, it was undeniably super super sweet (kind) that he bought and saved those pastries, but they were stale. I don't know if you can't really vac-seal them or if he just didn't do it right. I made an attempt to eat them because it was so sweet of him (and I *wanted* them to be good! But then I think I was just frustrated by that in the end and then I sort of "chased the taste" the remainder of the day.
We ate at Maggianos with family and then went to see Melissa McCarthy's new movie. I did have candy but not an outrageous amount, and some of Dh's popcorn but again, not much. I do think my stomach has shrunk.
Later on that night I had more dry cereal (there was definitely an element of "eat it or lose it" going on with it being Sunday and a little bit of ice cream- maybe a cup total of ice cream, tops. But I was full and knew it, and had it anyway. Same reason as above.
So, I think I would be defined as a "Mother's Day idiot" for that S day.
Moving on, today has been a good N day. I didn't get to eat until late, at noon, because I was keeping a 10 month old for a friend and he was over early. I had bacon at noon and then steak and a bowl of cereal at around 4:30 and then called it quits. And the cereal was NOT Captain Crunch, but Oatmeal Squares, and a small bowl at that. I was really dragging around with just the bacon and steak- too much of a sudden no-carb from the idiot-feasting of yesterday. lol
I'm on an 18 day streak of "closing my rings" on my Apple Watch, and I am darn proud of that. When I first got it mid April, I realized I was getting about 5-6K steps in during a day. Now I routinely get 10-12K a day, through knowing I need to walk or move or exercise in some way. That has been a very good thing!
Man, I just talked my face off!! Hopefully I didn't bore everyone to tears!
