I had to look up Take 5 - it has pretzels? That sounds amazing.
I KNOW!
Heh, we have a high of 70 today and I'm all, get out the sweaters!
Oh god -- we're in the 60s today (down from yesterday), and I'm mostly just angry I still have to shave my legs. It's NOVEMBER! It should be reliably tights and sweaters weather!
Yeah 14-16 apparently just sucks wrt parental relations.
Yup.
My weight is starting to creep back up at my post baby 30 lb weight loss. So I've started tracking my food and weight again.
Also I can't really comment on my weight gain while my mouth is full of candy. Next week?
I didn't say I was eating well while beginning tracking what I eat. There's still Halloween candy in the house, which I keep trying to get TCG to take to work.

I can actually eat leftover Halloween candy as long as it fits in my calorie range. Which isn't a revelation -- as long as you're mindful, you can eat most things in moderation, maybe not every day, but sometimes -- and yet it always manages to be a revelation every time I re-learn it. (IOW: fuck yeah, fun-size Snickers!)
ION, our landline has been out for a couple of days, and I am wasting this gorgeous 70-degree November day waiting for the Cinti Bell tech to show up (time frame: 12:30-4:30). I'm hoping it's soon, so the tech can fix it and then I can take a walk.
I really don't have a clue what my calorie range should be at the moment. So mostly I'm just tracking whatever I can shove into my mouth in between taking care of ltc to try to get a handle on what my calorie needs are at the moment. As of yesterday the only improvements I've made is to try to add more fruits and vegetables into the mix, try to eat more often, and trying to up my number of steps per day. I'm not really restricting anything yet. Mostly because illy super restrictive diet while I was pregnant still has me cranky. The main reason that I want TCG to take the candy away is because it is upsetting my stomach, which still isn't stopping me from eating it.

Of course! But I already eat chips with my lunch every day etc. And my candy consumption so far today has been objectively excessive. And yet there is STILL MORE.
I talked to Mom today she asked if I had a spare heavy coat, I asked why and she's trying to pack things for when she flies up and I move. I told her it wouldn't be necessary. I could have worn a short sleeve shirt today.
In the next 15 days the "coldest" high is something like 45 degrees. I have enough coats, sweaters, and layers for that to be fine.
Also I gave Penny her test drive tranq tablet and test ddrove her around the neighborhood. I didn't use Feliway or put a towel over her carrier and she..wasn't happy and meowed in slow motion but there were no bodily fluids. I count that as a win.
She's also really cuddly and a little wobbly on her feet. And keeps trying (and mostly succeding) to jump on things and I'm like "you're stoned cat! don't do that! your reflexes are really slow"
Well yeah but all calories are not equal, they do different things in the body.
