I'm Easily Amused ...

... According to my husband, that is.

You know you live in a university town when the local newspaper and TV news cover "move-in day"!  We also learned that the highway and feeder streets around the university had official electric signs telling students where to go, and other people where to avoid.  We've lived here long enough so that we got where we needed to go with no problems, though.  This included donating blood, with a stop at Mike's lab on the way.  I waited in the lobby break room, as is my habit, and found that the "dreaded snack machine" was no temptation!  That felt good!  I did investigate it and learned that it is now possible to use a credit card to buy snacks.  I'm glad that was not true during my years of binge eating, because sometimes the only thing that stopped me from buying multiple snacks was lack of singles or change.  Giving blood, for me, was successful, which was not true last time.  I have only one decent vein, and luckily, this time, the tech got it.  Felt more wiped out than usual all weekend, though, but I am fine now.

Eating is going well.  I successfully talked myself down from a short term temptation to eat out of boredom.  Activity, not so well.  Gotta get up off the sofa or the computer chair more often.  I appreciated the article a friend passed on concerning the need for movement throughout the day.
