It’s very lucky to live in a world where each day gets to be a new day. You don’t worry about what happened with your lifestyle yesterday and what problems you had, and you don’t try to fix what happened yesterday by sacrificing today. You try to live today right. In the long term, your weight will be under control even if not every day goes well.

Feeling it
I am sitting here and typing and am having an urge to eat more food. It’s not hunger – I had a good dinner with two kinds of pizza, including stuffed crust. There is some other reason for me having an urge to eat something. I am currently resisting because I indulged this urge yesterday and the day before, and that didn’t do me any good. I didn’t feel any better emotionally and I felt over full physically. Maybe I am still recovering from having some stomach issues last week.
As far as the pizza goes, the DiGiorno stuffed crust was kind of disappointing. The pepperoni was tasteless and the stuffed crust cheese was also tasteless. The texture of the pizza was sub par. Much better was the Freschetta cheese pizza. No stuffed crust, but the sauce and cheeses were tasty. On balance, I don’t like the rising crust style of frozen pizza. Much better is the crispy thin crust style from Aldi or similar.
I am a little tired, I think. On the weekends I usually look forward to cooking ahead for he week, and today I am not feeling that excited about it and can’t think what I would like to cook. It’s also the hottest part of summer here and I don’t like to heat my home up too much. So I am looking at simple meals this week for both reasons!
I hope you had a good week. Now the weekend.
