It Does No Good

Somehow time has gotten away from me. I closed tonight, but by the time I made myself dinner, hung out with the family a little, made myself some lunch for tomorrow, and get ready for bed, it's now after 1am. I can't go to bed at a decent hour to save my life.

Work was the usual. Nothing new to report there. I'm still continuously in awe of how well things are going. I can't believe a simple change in mindset could make such a marked difference. No more deep sense of dread. I accept it for what it is. I do my job, and I don't think about where else I could be. Or what else I could be doing. I look forward to my days off, and the time I don't have to be there. But I don't dwell on how much I don't want to be at work. It does no good.

After work I stopped at Target to buy more smoothie fruit. This morning I didn't have enough to make my customary morning smoothie. I should have gotten more yesterday, but somehow it slipped my mind. So tonight (since Trader Joe's and Grocery Outlet were already closed, and I don't particularly like Central Markets frozen fruit selection) I gave Target a try. It's been 4 years since our Target added a fresh market, but I rarely ever buy food there. I'm not disappointed. They had really good mixed frozen fruit (Central Market doesn't even have frozen pineapple. How is that possible?), and they had fresh fruits and veggies on sale. I got everything I needed and then some. Well, I'll always need food, so I guess I didn't get more than I'll need.

I'm still having a tough time getting a handle on my eating. Since I didn't have my smoothie this morning (or at lunch), I felt hungry and slightly grumpy all day. Cooked food (as much as I love it) doesn't fill me up nor sustain me like raw fruits and veggies do. I had two bean burritos, a soy latte, and a bottled green juice from Starbucks. My stomach nagged me of and on all day. My usual 64oz of smoothie keep me full until it's time for dinner. I need to get back to that. And I need to get more exercise (beyond just my 10,000 steps). I feel flabby and bloated. It's a sucky way to feel.
