I don’t feel like I did very well today. As I think about it though I actually did good stuff. I wanted pizza rolls this morning & didn’t go to the store & buy any! I made sure I ate a big salad for lunch before I went shopping so I wouldn’t be tempted to stop and eat something. It is just when I went to eat dinner I didn’t feel like fixing it or eating it. I ended up having something different than I’d planned but it wasn’t bad stuff. I really didn’t want to bother eating but I don’t want to do that. In the past I’ve done it and then later been hungry and had junk food. I’m trying (actually I think I’m doing it) to eat even when I don’t feel like it because I know it is good for me and I’ll feel better in the end.

Exercise: Aerobic tape for 20 minutes. 1600 calories.

I have a Richard Simmons aerobic tape called Sweating to the Oldies. I didn’t do very well with it but I guess I’ll try some more.  I tried doing armlifts w/weights but I couldn’t find my 4 lb ones so had to use the 8 lb ones. They were a bit heavy for me. I think I did 2 lifts. I’m going to look for the 4 lb ones tomorrow.

An interesting thing occurred to me today. Since I started eating better I haven’t been drinking as much coke. I’m not consciously trying to drink less - I only drink diet so I wasn’t concerned about it. I’ve been drinking more water & at the most 1 coke a day, a couple of days I think I didn’t have one. This is good - I periodically wonder why I’m paying money to drink colored water, but it seems strange. . .
