Empty Nest Progress Report

The Crown did not disappoint - it's fantastic!

Decided to make lunch rather than a run to Whole Foods.  Trader Joe's had some chicken sausage which is a winner  (and a plus that it's an item in MFP - makes logging easier).

I did some cooking this afternoon.  Tomato soup (my go-to soup this winter) and asian meatballs (also a new favorite).  You can import recipes from the internet into MFP - made logging easy as well.

I ended up eating all meals on the early side so I'm sitting here with dinner finished and hours to go before bed.  Since I need to be honest and log my food, I'm probably finished eating lol.  Accountability - yep, it's a real thing.

It's interesting how calories and volume can be deceiving.  Today seemed like less eating, but calorically it's a lot higher.  I'm staying under my calorie allotment because I really don't think it's super accurate (since I didn't weigh myself).  I choose not to get wrapped up in that number -- there is no up-side in this moment.  Logging for 2 weeks will be an experiment, but I don't plan to keep it going.  I like eating guilt-free, listening to what I need and want -- rather than worrying about the numbers -- trying to "win" for the day.  I can be a bit type-A and that just plays into my crazy.  I am curious to hear the feedback at the end.

Okay, quick check in because I can -- love me the empty nest!

P.S.  I'll have both boys for the SuperBowl this weekend.  Yea.  Love time with them (even though I also love empty nest).  It should be fun.  Go Falcons.
