Waiting for the TS/hurricane, all the day.

 It rained and rained and blew and blew,

I had no idea what I wanted to do...


Have I lost my mind?

Wed was The day we waited on Hurricane ETA to decide to give us her ETA and quit stomping around in the Gulf,    
All .I. Wanted. To .Do.  was  EAT.... 

5 AM, I received a text from my Son Dan," Damn hurricane! I have to go in now and do storm prep"

I answer" stay safe" and we go to YMCA at 5:30, home at 6:30
and

  1. I eagerly await your next post. I know the more we eat this stuff, the more we want it. But if I don't break over once in awhile, I could just not go on with dieting. It's what keeps me going. Of course that way, I just go up and down, and don't really lose much more.

  6. I'm like that all that time any more. I'm always wanting something to eat. Of course I grab things that aren't quite so healthy. At least you were eating grapes and peanuts.

  7. Hello,

    My hubby does a lot of stress eating. Waiting for a storm can be nerve wrecking. The eggs, grapes and nuts are healthy. But, a bag of potato chips not so much. Take care, enjoy your day! Wishing you a happy new week!

  9. Hope that Eta will find another route and not cause any damage. It’s commendable how you can stop at 4 grapes and 3 peanuts, Sandra, especially when it’s stress related.

  10. Waiting is the hardest part! I think you did very well all things considered.

  11. When stressed I do the same thing. Only I'm not so disciplined about watching/counting my portions. Sometimes I'm of the mindset, if we're all about to die I'm going with a happy belly. :)

    Your new avatar's are cute! The last one reminds me of the pizza-delivery girl in the State Farm commercial.

  13. Eta's ETA that was a good one.
    Stress does call for some relief and it is better to stress eat than have a hissy fit and blow your gasket.

  14. I guess I have joined the club with you...
    Eating everything I'm not suppose to eat.
    Except you seem more disciplined..I couldn't stop at 3 peanuts.
    I keep gaining and loosing the same 4 pounds..on my way down again !!
    Birthday was a killer for me..bread, carbs and just yummy "stuff".
    Can't wait for the next installment of the Great ETA adventure.
    Please stay safe.
