*Shiver*

It's so cold out! This storm was expected to be so bad... most people got ready for it, and instead I walked outside to pull the garbage bin back into the driveway in a t-shirt and crocs. Silly me! I should know better by now! But there are a lot of things I don't know better by now. I need to grow up a bit, methinks!

Today was an alright day. I worked 8-4, which made eating a little bit easier. Although I had a messed up schedule due to some idiocracy, I did eat breakfast (Apple Jacks, skim milk), a snack (onion rings... not so healthy), decent lunch (tuna salad, soup, sunchips), and good supper (chicken stuffing bake). What was not healthy, besides the onion rings, was the tortilla chips I ate when I got home from work. And then the 5 rice cakes I have eaten since supper. Those aren't horrible, but they start to add up. And I have had two large servings of salad. I just keep eating and eating. And it's amazing, because I don't even think about it. I'll just go into a daze, and it's like all of a sudden I wake up and lo and behold, I have a bowl of salad in my hands. It's strange. And it doesn't feel like it's out of boredom the times I am eating conciously... my tummy will growl. Hmm.

I feel like I'm making no headway since I've started again. I complained about this before! But it's true. I need to figure out a way to make this work for me again.

I have started by getting rid of all that is bad in my kitchen. I finished those cookies, those tortilla chips are gone, my bread has gone stale. No candy. I'm out of those fruit bars now again, even though they are not really that bad... they are pure fruit. However, I was eating 2 or 3 a day. Eh.

I need the winter blahs to go away and for spring to come into full swing. I can't wait for the summer so I can really do what I want to do and do this right.

I think I shall end this early. I'm not much in the mood for writing this evening, but I am trying to at least stick to my goal of writing. I must be off so I can arise (early) in the morning for yet another long day at work.
