I’ve been meaning to post this for a few days now, but I had that attack of the monthly munchies I talked about in my last post.  Lately I’ve been just giving in, not counting the points, and just starting fresh the next day - or at least trying to.  This time I counted my points, and only let myself pig out on low point foods - weight watchers ice cream sandwiches, etc.  When all was said and done, I hadn’t used up my flex allowance for the week, and I didn’t feel like I was in a sugar coma the next day.  In fact, the next 2 days I only used about half a flex point each day.

Maybe by giving in to full fat ice cream and potato chips I made myself crave those things for the next couple of days - ’cause eating crap tends to make me want more crap.  By pigging out on the not so bad stuff, the munchies didn’t hang around and ruin a whole week for me this time.  I only have one more day to get through before I start a new week, and I still have 5 flex points for tomorrow.  That feels really great!

Just a quickie tonight.  I swam today and yesterday.  Yesterday in the middle of one of my turns in the pool I felt something weird in my shoulder - like it almost dislocated or something.  I continued to swim and it didn’t really bother me too much.  Today I felt like there was pinching pain in my shoulder when I swam.  I only did 15 minutes today because we had a really bad storm with lots of lightning (and hail, too) and the lifeguard said they had to close the pool for an hour.  I didn’t know indoor pools had to close for lightning.

I’m also in the middle of the monthly munchies.  Why does it feel like they hit every other week?  I figured I’d document them here so I’ll know for sure how often they’re occurring.

 That’s it.  Back to work tomorrow.  Have a great week!
