Today was way better than the last few days have been.  I didn’t watch tv at all and I didn’t consume copious amounts of candy, either.  Yay!

I got up and went into town with my mom to do some errands.  I also joined the Y for the few weeks I’ll be in this area.  It was nice doing stuff with my mom.  In the evening I went and worked out.  I used one of the elliptical machines I really like. I only went for an hour and I’m not sure I could have gone longer than that.  I have no idea how I used to do marathons on those machines.  Spending 4 hours on one of them beating the crap out of myself isn’t something I could do right now.  I plan to go over there quite a bit while I’m here.  I don’t have much else to do and getting some exercise will be great for my mood.  It’s going to take quite a while to work myself out of the whole I’ve dug physically, but I’ve got to get started and make some changes.  I feel much better about everything now that I have been working out.

I’m also really glad I didn’t just sit around eating candy all day.  I did eat some of these awesome almond bars my mom made for me, but it wasn’t unmanageable.  And, aside from that, I’m pretty happy with how I ate today.  I’m getting there.
