Today is the last day before we gain a live-in roommate. This is the first time I've lived with someone (other than family) for over 20 years. It will be an opportunity to grow, appreciate and a lesson in patience and ego (probably). Lordy, I don't even share a hotel room with non-family lol! I need to remember to stay nice and share well. Wish us all luck :-)
Yum - just brewed my new flavor combo coffee. It's a good one. Sprouts has 3 flavored decaf blends - and I just mix and match before I grind it.
Today is a busy and fun day. Dog to groomer (he stinks!!), me to Lift (leg day - ouch) followed in the afternoon with an episode or two of the Crown. I have some house stuff wedged in-between and after it all and that will round out the day. Eldest is flying home on a late flight. I won't see him until tomorrow.
I'm doing well on the Challenge. I'm curious to see what I do after the 2 weeks. Do I continue to log? It keeps me honest, but it also changes up some of my eating (maybe for the better??). As I said before, I love W30 eating because I don't feel like I'm on a diet. Tracking feels diet-like, but it is easier than I thought. We'll all have to stay tuned for this nail-biter ...
Lunch with my gal-pal was great (as usual). We are SO on the same page with our goals and intentions this year. It was nice to chat about it all.
I didn't make it to Costco (but I did walk the dog lol). Instead, I went and bought a purse I've been eyeing up. I LOVE a big bag. I use this travel tote I have non-stop and it's worn out BUT I chose it all the time. I needed something big to replace it. I've decided medium-sized bags aren't enough. I'm rocking the BIG BAG and LOVING it! It's different from my usual style (but a great neutral still). I'm picky about my bags - comfort and usability are #1. I hope I thought about this one long enough to get-to-know it. We'll see today during my Costco run!
My eating routine at night is getting easier again. I'm not mentally pacing the pantry over and over. Strangely, it's easier, but yet it feels unsustainable. I don't know why (this could be PMS talking). The thought of "most" days like this feels gloomy (okay, this is probably PMS). Never mind. If I still feel this way next week, we'll talk lol.
I'm still surprised by the different calorie consumption day-to-day. The difference in protein calories is HUGE. Something that I'll keep my eye on. I tend to eat a lot of beef (it's easy to have on hand - and easy recipes) and that's a big hitter. I need to incorporate a better variety of white meat and fish. I AM learning.
I'm a smidge disappointed (yet also happy) there has been no additional feedback to my diet. I keep getting good marks. I hoped there was low lying fruit to improve something. But the Challenge is still going. W30 is a healthy way to eat - that's good news.
HAPPY day ahead. Intention is GOOD THOUGHTS today. Later gators!
