good morning! well I'm half right...
took a two mile walk yesterday. at least I think it was a two mile walk..all the pedometers in this house are sucky. actually, my pedometer is good, just that wal mart jewelry dept sux because they gave me the wrong battery. it was too small, but it worked...but only for about a week and now it is dead again. DH has one but it is not sensitive enough for really fat people and doesn't count the steps properly...so blah blah..I went aroundthe "block" 6 times which = 2 miles last week on my pedometer, but=1.86 on his. who cares I walked. BFD it ain't helpin.
good news tho..have managed to cut down on sugar in coffee from thousands of calories to only two tablespoons. DH and I have been experimenting with our sweetened drinks, (i.e. coffee, iced tea, hot tea etc.) to see how little sugar we can use and still be drinkable. I like unsweetened iced tea myself, as long as it isn't too strong, and DH can take his coffee without sugar as long as there is powdered creamer, but that stuff has some sugar in it, so not really I guess....anyway, I can enjoy the coffee with two tablespoons of sugar which cuts the calorie content of each cup from 258 calories to 100. pretty significant.
my big problem lately has been getting hungry in the late evening. we eat dinner at around 5:30, and we try to eat smaller protions, no seconds all that, but then around 8 I (and dh too) start to get soooooo hungry. I drink water, try to think about something else, but by 10 I am starving and usually just go to bed to avoid it. that's not necessarily a bad thing per se, I mean I should go to bed, esp since I'll be working (probably) as soon as my license comes through..at least subbing, and I'll have to start getting up at five fucking AM to go to schools (if I haven't or DH hasn't gotten a permanent position I'll sub until his unemployment goes, then we'll both take turns...) but for those couple of hours in the evening I am completely preoccupied with being hungry. it sux.
on the job front I have yet to hear from cabell or pleasants county. I have put in an application in NC, and we have been giving serious thought to going back there. I'll have to write more about that later..right now I smell baby poo and it's on my bed.
