Okay, tommorrow for sure......really......I mean it....
Well Friday is here, and I am glad. It means 2 days off, it also means some time with my sweetie, since tonight is his last night of work before 3 days off.
My food intake today was lame...2 slices of toast, one with butter, one with butter and jam, a large T.H coffee 3crm/1s, and then a protien shake at work, then another large T.H coffee at about 2pm, then a Burger King grilled chicken burger at about 5pm, then at 8pm, an A&W teen burger and a root beer float. Top that off with chips and dip at 10:30ish...I might as well have a beer to top it all off eh?
The bright side is that we did get groceries and they were all healthy food (except for Paul's root beer). James is on board saying he wants to eat more healthy too, so he and I are going to do it!
I think that part of the problem is that we base a lot of our entertainment on eating "out", so it is very hard to not think of food when thinking of doing something fun. Our challenge will be to find fun things to do that don't involve food and maybe in some way involve physical activity. Also with our budget about to get tighter in the fall when I go back to school, it will serve us well to be less dependent on expensive dinners out to give us the entertainment we need.
Fun things(for me and/or the family, or James and I) to do that DON'T involve food:
1. Take a bike ride around Boulevard Lake
2. Go for a nature walk at Centennial Park
3. Try to learn to rollerblade
4. Work on my pell
5. Go to the park and play frisbee, or tag or catch
6. Go to the library
7. rent a movie
8. sew, or embroider garb
9. borrow a dog and walk it
10.SCA fight practice
11.work on my armor
12.go swimming
13.go to the gym
well there are a few ideas...the trick will be to choose them instead of food, on a regular basis.
Well, wish us luck!
Bou :o)
