STILL VACATIONING

I'm glad that we came home a couple of days before I have to go back to work.  I'm trying to ease back into a routine instead of being jolted back.  I really slept in yesterday and could have probably stayed in bed until noon but I knew that would only make it harder to get up on Monday.  We sat around, catching up on shows recorded on the DVR while we were away, and around 12:30 Gary said "aren't you getting hungry" and I replied not really.  There wasn't much in the house anyway but he found something to fix for himself.

I was thinking about going to the gym and then stopping on the way home to pick up something to eat.  I kept looking at the clock like I was a kid at school at the end of the day and finally decided if I was going to workout, I'd better quit wasting time.  I told Gary when the show we were watching was over, I was going to get dressed and head to the gym and he informed me that he was going to take a nap.  Hmmm, that really helps.   I didin't know if I was surprised or not to find only a few people working out on a Saturday afternoon when I got there.  It was beautiful outside, especially for the middle of November and I thought about Gypsy taking her morning walk and wondered if I should have just stayed home to do that but I was here and I'm more into the bike now than walking.  I spent more time on it, but did do a little bit of walking on the treadmill.  My mind was rambling on the way home, thinkng how glad I was to have worked out and that I was feeling pretty good.  I couldn't believe that for some reason I noticed that I was passing two ice cream cream places on the way home ... but it took me until I got a couple of blocks from home, to realize that I hadn't stopped to get the spinach salad that I had planned to pick up.  Oh well, I really wasn't hungry ... was I?  

I got in the shower when I got home and then as I was getting dressed thought about since I was still in the vacation mode, that maybe we could go to a movie.  I said something to Gary and he'd asked if I had had anything to eat yet.  I told him no ... then I got a lecture about that not being healthy.  He asked if I wanted to eat before we went to the show.  After checking the times, I decided to go to the 6:30 show and we'd eat after.  Maybe that was a mistake because he got a big bucket of popcorn and I indulged.  I had justified that by saying I worked off some calories and I hadn't eaten but I know now that it was a wrong move.  I didn't like the movie (Flight) so now I find me kicking myself for both decisions.  We ended up at Jockomo's for dinner, so I did end up getting my spinach salad but also had a small slice of pizza.  I probably came in right at my calorie total where I could have come in way under but like I said, I guess I'm stilll on vacation and easing back into reality.
