Small Slice

We had a long holiday weekend, with too much takeout to report.  I've become dreadful about sticking with my planned menus on the weekends, and I'm determined to change.  Next week.

You see, THIS coming weekend, I'm headed off to Yosemite, where I will be eating out, every meal. But I will also be outside and active all weekend as well, and I will keep my portion-sizes and food choices under control.

I am holding steady at 166 pounds.  Again with the stalled weight loss - I know that I'm not eating as well as I need to, and probably taking in too much food, because I've found myself chatting on the phone quite a bit, and I unconciously eat while I'm on the phone.  Watching TV?  No.  Reading?  No.  Cooking?  Not so much any more.  But man, as soon as I get my gab on, I start looking for things to chew. 

And you know what?  I don't think I should be eating while talking on the phone.  That is just rude and crude.  Right?  Agreed.  I'm going to nip that habit right this minute.  In fact, I'm drawing a picture of me yakking away with food particles flying out of my mouth.  And the person on the other end cringing, and I'm hanging that sucka on the fridge to remind me that is BAD.

I'm going to skip doing a formal menu this week, because of the few days where we are actually going to be at home and cooking.  We've got plenty of food stashed in our pantry and fridge that need to be eaten up before we leave, so I'm going to focus on making meals from the ingredients we have on hand.  I'll post photos in the Small Slice album if I make anything worth bragging about.  Heh. 

I'm off to squeeze in a workout and then get the kids started on making their teacher thank-yous.  I can't believe the end of school is here.  Wow.
