Hello (again)

I'm enjoying my quiet ME day.

Repairman came and went ($178 later - working microwave).  Guru revisit, continued reading and a few episode of Better Call Saul.

The foster was claimed from the shelter in a win-win situation.  No foster this week, but a happy ending for the one who counts!

Now that I'm "free" for the week, I need to occupy myself, be productive, focus on something other than food.  That's when W30 works for me.  Food becomes food and everything else becomes important.  I also find rewards help the process along (twist my arm).

I'm planning some non-food rewards until healthy becomes routine.  First stop -- a new workout outfit.  Awesome, plus incentive to feel good in something new.  I actually hope it takes a little bit to come in the mail so I have time to lose some of the bloat.

I like big-ish rewards and little rewards.  The outfit is big-ish.  The little reward ... new tea and coffee flavors from Sprouts.  I'm running on empty so I'll add to the usual suspects and try something new.

Eating today was a little mixed.  Lots of vegetables - win.  Lots of nuts - not a win.  I stopped myself but not quite soon enough.  A few nuts with lunch became an extended snack.  Still compliant, not ideal.  No more nuts (sounds familiar - why do I think I can eat just a few).  Dinner is cooked and waiting for a reheat.  I'm not hungry yet and might not be tonight after those darn nuts.  I'll wait to see ... might just be a mini-meal.

Tomorrow is my split workout and I'm ready.  The rest day was good and I'm itching to get at it tomorrow.

Fingers crossed and all that.
