Monday Morning - a brand new week. Today feels like a "Feel good day." It's my son's birthday. Of course I'm already thinking ahead of how I am NOT going to overindulge. We let the kids pick their favorite restaurant to go to on their birthday. Or have mom cook - they always choose the restaurant! He chose the Chinese buffet. Zero to almost no choices to eat healthy/lowfat there. There is a salad bar, but skimpy and not so fresh. I will have to make do and refrain from my favorite - General Tsaos. I just have to remember the mantra I go by - nothing tastes as good as thin looks. In the present moment, I'm not always sure that is the case. Tonight we will have family over for cake and icecream. I went to the store this am and bought myself a 100 calorie brownie to have at that time. Hopefully that will keep me in check and all the cake will be gone by evenings end. In any event, I ate several apples already this am, but no popcorn - 4 days and counting! I am proud of that. I have to stay away from that - my binge - food, at all cost. I have already been to the gym this am and did an extra 1/2 hour on the arc trainer, knowing I might need it. Sometimes that is not always the best thing to do. I tend to give myself licence to overeat and more than what I probably burn off. You can never tell how much you do anyway on those machines. The numbers don't seem to "Jibe".
