dragonlady7Grumble, grumble. I've already eaten everything I brought with me today and I'm still hungry.
:-( I don't like this. I don't think I'm eating enough less than usual to actually lose any weight, but I'm almost always hungry. Phooey.
I don't feel well enough to walk, but I feel well enough to exercise. So I did some exercises this morning before Dave was up, and I feel better for that. The difference between being well enough to walk and to exercise is that if I get out of breath and have to stop, I can, and if I have a coughing fit, like I did, I can take some Buckley's which will ensure that the nerves in my throat are numbed and I cough no more for several hours. So that's what I mean, and it seems to be working for now. I thought of walking home as well, but 1) I can't leave before 5, they've decided, no matter what time I come in, and 2) the heat index today is supposed to be over 100. So...
In the mornings, I can't breathe, and in the afternoons, I can't survive. So I can't win.
I'm trying to switch to eating less instead of relying on the obviously inadequate exercise, but... Bleagh. I don't like being hungry. But I don't really like being too full, either, so I guess I'll have to get used to it. I learned from my Weight Watchers friends that you should definitely eat breakfast every day, to avoid slowing down your metabolism, so I try to do that-- just a little something...
Ah well. I was not cut out to be a dieter. My mother, however, is half the size she was and looks fabulous. So I can't just stand idly by and become the fat one.
But, I noticed Fiona's packed on a couple of pounds in her little tum-tum, and Ann is actually thickening a teensy bit around the middle now that her high school track career is over, so perhaps I'm obsessing a teeny bit too much about being the fat one. *shrug*
I feel skinny, but that's only because I'm starving. Bleagh.
If I can reduce myself a size or two I can buy new clothes, so that's something to ponder.
Sadly, I need a new bathing suit for this summer. Perhaps the point will be moot, as it doesn't look likely that I'll be able to swim a whole lot this summer. Not looking like it so far, anyway...
Sigh.
Yes, this is a worthless post. Someday I will have exciting things to write about. Just not today.
