Well, Bren's aliens came and dropped off a visitor for me but in fair exchange took 3lbs back to Planet PMS located somewhere in the Constellation of Constipation.
So thank you Mirror Mirror on the Wall for responding to my Rant of Refusal on Sunday. I shall carry on with logless but still mindful eating. Some day I may be able to do it without thinking so much of the total calories for the day but it's only been a week after a lifetime of counting calories (when focused on healthy eating).
As usual, I have been thinking. A tough agenda here with the noise and interruptions; makes me crave to spend time in a place where TV's are verboten, phones are prohibited and all visitors have taken a vow of silence.
The thoughts were something along the lines of purpose and efficiency. Like, recently although it looks odd to my husband, I've started walking over to the market to pick up things rather than driving down to the store to get it all at one time.
*I* want to walk just for the sake of getting out, getting a little fresh air and yes, getting a little quiet. Yes, even the noise of street traffic is a welcome break for me. But rather than just saying 'I want to get out of here' I use the market for an excuse. Maybe it's because I know the answer to 'I just want to walk' would be 'then why not use that zillion dollar treadmill we bought ya'....
Well, one of the grandson's is here and just can't grasp the concept of 'Shhh... this is Nana's quiet time in the shop...' so I'm going to close this journal entry before I start typing four letter words. Hope you're all having a great ... Tuesday?

Happy to hear your alien weight gain has now departed. I totally understand your mini freak out. We all know that you can't actually gain fat weight overnight, but it still is not a nice feeling to hop on a scale and see a number go north. This is why I wish I could turn off the "Weigh in Now" notification. I hate getting on the scale as my mental state on all things body-related is still trying to get use to being at my target weight range. We're all still figuring it out as we go!

Glad you had an explanation for the weight gain and that it's gone and yes my confidence would be shaken too if I knew I didn't deserve it. I think its wonderful that you want to walk to the market to get fresh(er) food, exercise, good food and peace and quiet. Not bad for one little walk. I laughed at the red velvet cake - I'll definitely keep you a seat as I don't like the cream cheese icing, I only like the cake part :) Sorry I didn't respond to yesterday's journal, didn't see it til today. Hope to connect tomorrow.

I knew those aliens would help you out..LOL..I know what you mean about quiet time..I have alot of it now that I no longer work at the office..Yes walking to the market is much better than driving..after all you still have to find a parking space..I park away from the entrance of Wal Mart or most places I shop just so I will get some more steps in..also you don't have to worry so much about someone banging your car door..I agree with Josie...no way can you gain body fat over night...it has to be fluid..I gained some after working so hard the other day..but its back down..but at least it makes you think twice about that good looking food you really shouldn't eat..:O)

Haha, Bella. Congrats on the weightloss. Four-letter word journals it should be. Have a great Tuesday. Yes, that's it.

Guess you couldn't refuse your visitor, like I'm determined to do... maybe I'd reconsider though if they'd take 3 lbs in return - LOL! So, we're both succeeding with this mindful eating -- I think we're on to something, girlfriend! You walk away to that market -- it's a win,win -- exercise, peace, time to think. I've come up with all kinds of things "I need to do" just to get away! I'm fantasizing where I might "need to go" to get away from this ongoing vacation frustration -- wanna come? xoxox (P.S. In case I have said it lately, I'm so blessed to have you as my Angel & so appreciate your love and support!)

Bella, 183 lb, I didn't see that earlier, wow, holy cow man, 183 lb. That's freaking fantastic! Wow, wow, wow. You have lost 102 fucking pounds. WOW. Congrats. and you don't need to worry about FS, they will censor anything they don't like. I have written a 'bad word' in here just to show you, I am sure you will figure out what the word was.

I vote for several "Moments of Silence" per hour. If I turn down the TV so I can read journals and concentrate - it wake DH up. Go figure. At work I'm between 2 women that love to hear themselves speak - ALL effing day. I use ear plugs at night but still hear the ringing in my ears. Love that you are walking to the market.
