How was your Easter/Passover/just normal weekend? Mine was excellent! I’m thinking a Wednesday photo post is in order, and I can even do it as Instagram since they’ve released it for Android!
But for today, this is what’s on my mind. I have been horribly lax about my weight/ exercise goals this year. I haven’t been running (I ran two 5ks on no training –not good), and while I have been doing weights I’m not nearly as dedicated as I should be. I’m eating terribly, drinking soda nearly daily and hardly any water. I don’t know how I haven’t gained a ton of weight (maybe a couple pounds) but I’m certainly not in as good of shape as I was for awhile there.
So now I’m back on the horse. Weight training four days a week. Running 3 days a week. SOME sort of physical activity 7 days a week (gardening, bike riding with the kids etc). No soda, and 60 oz of water a day. Stairs at work (I’m only on the third floor; this really shouldn’t even need to be addressed, and yet it does). Alcohol no more than two times a week (I was getting used to an evening beer or glass of wine far too often). No candy, and keep a lower calorie sweet treat in the freezer for when I need a bite at night.
I’m not restricting my actual food except to be more cognizant of what goes in my belly. That is usually enough for me to make reasonable choices, and if I restrict myself too much I fall off the wagon that much quicker.
So we're going to ignore the 5 jelly beans I ate on the drive to work (what? They were in my purse and I didn’t want them to melt in there!) and say that so far today I had a good breakfast, a great weight/core workout on lunch, a reasonable leftovers lunch and I’m about 20 oz into my water goal. I’ve stayed away from the ridiculous amount of candy that my assistant keeps around her desk (okay, I had 4 Robins Eggs, but that’s way better than usual).
One day at a time.

One day at a time.
You must have some good habits in place you're not recognizing because if not, you would have gained wait. So kudos on that.
I know for me sugar is a big problem and I pretty much have to always avoid it. If I start letting myself have sugar it just gets out of control.
I'm trying to get back into my good habits. Mine hasn't been so much exercise (although I need that too, but I have been doing some heavy-duty gardening), but eating slow, watching portion size (which eating slow helps with a lot), and just generally not snacking or eating when I'm not hungry.
I saw there's a preview of Bitterblue containing some letters between Katsa and Po taking place in the time between Changeling and Bitterblue. I thought you might be interested.

I'm still worried that Bitterblue won't have enough Katsa and Po for me.
