the diet is going well. i'm not hungry anymore and the cravings aren't too bad. i was a little worried that my 4 pound weight loss wasn't real, and it does seem as if i've gained 2 pounds back. we'll see by next sunday though.
i actually ate a frozen banana last night when i wanted some amish pie. i was proud of myself. i hope my husband finishes that pie soon!
my husband made a a bacon and egg sandwich yesterday morning which was quite good. tonight he's grilling chicken. i love when he cooks because he's better at it than me, and also i hate doing it, so it's a nice break. he has been off all month in between jobs, and he's starting a new one july 1. it's been nice having him home but i am a little sick of watching soccer. soon the tour de france starts, and that's my sport to watch obsessively. maybe i will actually get out on my bike! i doubt it though because it's not safe to ride on the roads around here. too crowded in the city. i don't know how people do it. i have to put my bike in the car to get to the forest preserve, and it doesn't really fit in my car, even with the wheel off. so i haven't ridden in a while. at one point, for the aids ride, i road from minneapolis to chicago, which is about 500 miles. i was really fit then. for training i would ride about 10 hours each day of the weekend. i also commuted on my bike. there were some good roads near my old apartment for commuting.
i have been thinking of making poppy seed muffins for my husband. i bought the ingredients before i started the diet. i'm not sure i can resist them though, and they are very, very good. i keep thinking i could freeze them individually but i wonder how many i would be tempted to eat before i get to that point. i better resist.
we are going out to lunch all this week to hit some restaurants we've been meaning to go to. it'll be nice to enjoy this time with my husband, but i will have to be careful. we are also going to the art museums this week, so lots of walking. we are seeing frida kahlo at the museum of contemporary art and magritte at the art institute. i have been having trouble walking because my back hurts so we will see how it goes. the diagnosis is that i'm just too fat. i had lost 50 pounds 2 years ago and the pain went right away. so i have to get back to that.

Funny, about your muffins. I noticed that every time I started a diet, I wanted to bake 'for my son'. The mind does play tricks on me. Sometimes, I buy junk 'for him'. And I keep it for him, but it's like I'm eating vicariously.
Frida / have you seen the movie. Excellent!
Plan your restaurants to stack the deck on your side to succeed in your diet journey. You have too much at stake (health). It comes first.
Have a good day!

i always wanted to make the muffins for him, but i do love them too. i would've made them much earlier, and i had the ingredients earlier, but he had a tooth pulled and wasn't supposed to eat any seeds. i haven't seen the frida movie. i had forgotten all about it. i think we should be doing ok with the restaurants since we are going for lunch and not dinner. but today is the hot dog place, so i have to watch it.
