Dinner
Pork with spinach and corn.
You’ll notice that there isn’t a picture of my lunch today. That is because I didn’t have one. I’m not proud of that because I’m supposed to be eating 3 meals per day with 2 snacks. I need to give my body that fuel. I noticed it at the end of the day, big time. I was famished by the time we had dinner and then was hungry after dinner as well. I had some celery with pumpkin butter and half of a carrot to try to tide me over until morning. I also sampled one of the breakfast bars I made tonight but I’m not going to beat myself up over it. Not like I had all meals and snacks and then was eating all of this besides. I’m just angry at myself for not making my eating a priority and as a result had food beyond supper time. That’s not cool at all.
I did manage to get out for a fantastic walk at Shubie Park today…all by myself too! It was so nice to just walk at my own pace and not be pushing a stroller. I love taking the boy for walks there but sometimes it is just nice to be out in nature by yourself with your own thoughts for a change. The sunlight was fading but boy did it make it gorgeous walking through the woods. So many leaves have fallen since my last visit and it felt so good to breathe in so much fresh air. The temperature was hovering around 15 Celsius so it was nice and warm and didn’t even need a jacket. Here are a couple of pictures from my walk…

As usual I met a bunch of people on my walk…some walking their dogs, some walking with family or friends, some on bikes and some running. Once I get some more of this weight off I want to be one of those runners.
Hubby was the one who cooked dinner this evening which was a nice treat. Fed the boy some cereal and then gave him a bath. He was exhausted and out by 7:00pm which is very rare. I was so looking forward to accomplishing so much this evening in preparation for the party on Saturday and other odds and ends I have to do like edit a photo shoot from TWO weeks ago…oy! The boy unfortunately was not down for the count but took a 45 minute power nap and was then up until 10:00pm when he finally gave in and went back to sleep. As you can see, the only down time I get to do anything uninterrupted is late at night and by that time of day I am wiped. I had all good intentions of working on photos and on trying to catch up on blog reading and commenting because it is something very important to me to stay motivated and to keep others motivated knowing there’s someone reading but alas, I’m just too tired. It is now approaching midnight and this chick needs some serious zzzzs.
Tomorrow is another day and hopefully I’ll have much more of a sense of accomplishment tomorrow night.

I love Shubie, its one of my fav places to go in the city for a nice stroll. Plus it was such a gorgeous day for a walk yesturday. I agree with you too, sometimes a bit of solo time is just what you need.
PS. You will be on of those runners someday! :) Have you thought about trying the Couch to 5K program? It’s fairly simple and how I learned to run.
