Lazy Sunday

Had a Christmas party yesterday, and there were too many desserts.  It's a potluck, and last year we somehow wound up without any (until someone went out and bought a whole bunch)  I think everyone who came this year remembered that, and was trying to make up for it.  I did take a plate with some of the desserts, and had a bite or two of each of them, and then looked at the plate and none of it looked appealing any more.  At all.  I just didn't want any more of any of it!  So after thinking about it for a few minutes, I took that plate in to the kitchen -- and threw it all away!  (except for the plate, of course - it wasn't paper.)  I knew I wasn't going to eat everything when I took it, but I didn't expect to be throwing so much of it away.  I'm counting that as a victory!  :D

I didn't get the exercise in that I wanted this weekend.  I was getting ready for the party on Saturday, and then just wound up sleeping for the most part today -- I think I needed it.  But I really don't have a good reason for not hauling myself out of bed or off the couch and Just Doing it -- I just didn't.  Next weekend I'm going to try telling myself that I can always come back after exercising and relax on the couch, or whatever, but first I need to get out of bed and do the exercise.

I didn't track my food, but I did make decent food choices.  We decided to do takeout on Friday for dinner, and I ordered a mostly vegetable dish from the Thai place, and only ate half of it that night.  I had the other half for brunch Saturday.  And tonight the Hubster cooked -- chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing and Green Bean Casserole.  I only ate about half of what was on my plate, and wrapped up the rest of it for another time.  I was listening to my body -- everything tasted good, AND I was able to realize when I didn't want any more, and just stopped there.  It felt really good to be able to do that!
