Dodged a bullet!

Yesterday was one of those sneaky brain evenings.  I was jacked up with cravings to munch all night (ovulation continues).

I had an odd eating day.  I was very hungry in the morning so ended up with 2 breakfasts before we left for our day out.  Glad I did ... lunch was a complete bust.  The menu description didn't match the reality of the dish and I ended up with a few bites of steak and a 1/4 avocado - way too little!  Dinner happened around 4pm since I was hungry.  Que the cravings - ugh.  But I did well.  Recognition is a good thing.  I came close a couple of times (that freezer full of baked goods calling to me) but I distracted myself and made it through the night.

What worked ...
Reminding myself that I had just a mere few hours until bedtime - a few hours to hang tough.
Reminding myself how crappy I would feel (mentally and physically) if I went hog crazy.
Reminding myself I have my lift workout today and wanted to be on point.
Reminding myself that Friday is a social night and I'd rather save my indulgences for something "worth-it" with friends.

HAPPY and proud this morning.  Today should be the last of this ovulation crap lol!

No book club tonight.  Decision made.

Yesterday's adventure was a bit of a bust.  Nice day out, but not what I was expecting.  It was a good place to try, but I didn't love it.  The shops were very expensive, food choice was limited and expensive ... walk was nice and the town was cute (but see it once ... you get the idea).  We didn't do the paved trail walking which I expect is nice but that's a long drive (with expensive parking) just to walk.  I'm very happy I scouted it out - not at all a trip for my mom.  On to plan B for that day.

That said, I got the nicest dinner napkins (I love to use cloth napkins for dinners) and a really well fitted apron for my holiday baking.  I'm a huge slob when I cook - this can save the Thanksgiving and Christmas clothes from splatter central.  Aprons can be tricky - too short, too fancy, too bulky.  This one was spot on and super cute (I hope I don't ruin it too quickly!!).

After my lift workout today, I have some errands and a bit of cooking to do.  Easy day.  Hubby will be home early from a business trip.  Having him home will make the evening cravings (should they come) much easier to handle.  Craving like privacy lol!

Off to make this a HAPPY day.
