Happy Saturday friends!

For some reason, after nearly a year at this - I feel like today is a first. Or at least a first in a LLOOONNNGGG time.

Hubby's out with a pal all day - so i figure wooohoo i wil go see a movie and get a kiddie popcorn and slather way more movie theater "butter" than i will admit to on my caloriecounting website. so i get in the car around 1240. know i am running late but also know i have that 10 minute preview cushion. as i am heading down i realize i am quite hungry since i hadnt eaten - just some nectar Protein when i got up - i know this will lead to LOTS of popcorn and maybe a slurpee - so i come home and figure i will scramble and egg and see a later show. make myself an omlet - am i the las person to try turkey sausage? yum! anyway...

now several hours later and figure i should leave if i want to hit the 350 show... i open the garage door... its fricken beautiful outside! an amazing fall october day. i cant possibly be stuck in a dark theatre! so i grab my sunglasses and head out for a walk around the community instead..

we have this cafe with ice cream.. mmmm.... ice cream.... so i start walking and think OO Ice cream would be good... the closer i get i realize i am so not hungry and dont need any ice cream.... so i keep walking... eventually i end up at the cafe... i looked at the ice cream sign and kept on going.

now here i am 40 mins later, with my crystal light thinking - wowzers! its a saturday and i am still being good! no eating out of boredom?!! woohoo!!

and now its almost 5 so if i can get thru dinner and not start looking for why i have no ice cream in the house - it will be a miracle!

sorry this was sooo long! but i had to share.

Thanks for your post - very motivating for someone new like me.

Holy cow, Soniacan, what a great story! I remember so well when my band was doing its thing, days like this were my new "normal." Without my band friend helping me through, though, weekend days are pretty much like they used to be--constant thoughts of what to eat next.

I can't wait to be able to have days like yours again. Congratulations!!!
