Backfire

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't paying for skipping dinner last night. I am STARVING right now!! I've even had two snacks, and they aren't holding me over. Yes, I've had water, too. I'm so looking forward to dinner right now, I can't even tell you. But I don't know what dinner's going to be yet. I'd better get on that.

Didn't work out today. My mom called and said she was bringing my grandma over to see my house. My grandma lives out of town and doesn't come to visit very often. This is the first time she's ever been to my house, and, given her distaste for travel, will probably be her last. So I've been running around the house cleaning like a mad woman for hours, making sure that my place looks its absolute best. I don't want Grandma thinking I live like a slob. Mostly I do live like a slob, but I don't want her thinking it. :) Anyway, my point is, I didn't get a chance to get on the treadmill before my mom called and dropped the bomb on me. The good news, though, is that I'm pretty sure I've probably burned more calories stooping and climbing and scrubbing and such than I ever would have walking for twenty minutes. So I'm not going to feel too bad about missing today's treadmill session. I've managed to stay on track eating-wise today, so everything's good. Tomorrow, on the other hand...

My nieces are sleeping over tonight and then I'm taking them school shopping tomorrow. Before I ever decided to set my goal to lose 140 pounds in 24 months, I told my nieces I would take them to lunch during/after our shopping session. Because, seriously, you can't have a day of shopping and not include lunch. It's just not done. So I'm praying that I can behave myself, wherever we go, and at least make a smart choice. Or, if I can't make a smart choice, then for heaven's sake keep the portion reasonable. That is my goal for tomorrow.
