Good morning. The days are getting shorter and shorter... it's no longer daylight by the time I'm posting this thread, so I can't say what kind of day we're stacking up for. I can only assume that it's going to be bright, sunny, and hot since I haven't heard anything about rain or a cooldown yet. Well, I take that back as they did mention that we might get down to the upper 70's later this week. That will be a nice break from the 90's we've been having, which was a break from the 100's we had for a while this summer. I know - complain, complain... :-)
I'm not going to go into too much detail about my week... some of it was good; some not much so.
As for eating and weight - I've done relatively well with eating, but did start craving chips again. I'm not sure what that's about. They say if you crave salt, it's because you're dehydrated and I haven't been drinking as much water as I usually do... maybe there's something there; I'm not sure. Chips have always been one of my "comfort foods" that I go to when things aren't right with the world, too so maybe it's a combination. Another thing I craved was Butterfinger candy bars... I'm not really a chocolate fan, but I do have a penchant for Butterfingers. Sometimes I think it's more the crunch than the taste, but I'm not sure about that either. Anyway, that's where I was with the food situation...
At least, I walked nearly every day so I was using up that excess energy I was taking in. That allowed me to hold pretty steady on the weight, with only a 0.2 lb difference up though I bounced around all week with water weight. The difference is negligible and could still be water weight.
I did not walk yesterday as I met an old friend for brunch and we went shopping afterward. We're both shoe nuts so of course, we headed to our favorite shoe store. I got a nice pair of walking shoes and a pair of sneakers. The sneakers I've been wearing to walk haven't been doing well with my peripheral neuropathy, so I found another pair that I hope is going to serve me well. I'll find out in about an hour...
So... how have you done this week? Let us know whether you've lost, gained, etc and what we can do to help...
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
