Like I Never Left

I'm back home, and it's like I never left. Well, almost. I went for my walk today, slept in until noon like I always do, and had chicken for dinner. I walked 2 miles, about 27 minutes per mile. The first mile was like 26 minutes and the second mile was 28 minutes. I tried jogging more while here on the flat, and it's much harder than it was on hills. I don't know why. I even went uphill while I was in LA fast, so it wasn't just the downhill that I would run. I think because I knew that if I pushed myself on the uphill I would be rewarded with a downhill. I'm not sure, though. I came home tired from my 2 mile walk. I want to work my way back up to 3.25 miles and more. I'm thinking if I wake up early tomorrow to call my coworker and ask if she wants to go for a walk. I know she likes going walking early in the morning, so that would be the best time to call her. I just don't know if I can keep up with her.. she walks fast. But it would be good for me to walk with someone faster since I tend to walk to slow on my own. I walk slow, and jog at fast walking speed.
Tomorrow is the Super Bowl, and I'm looking forward to it. Geo and I are going to watch it and have chili cheese nachos as well. He got some cheese dip, I have the chili and he got some ground beef and tomatoes to put in the chili. It just sounds yummy. I know it's going to be horrible for me and I'm going to go over my calories, but oh well. It should be my last day of indulgence. I weighed in today.. I gained 4 pounds on vacation. Not too bad, considering I was gone for 3 weeks and ate a bunch of not so healthy food. I'm pretty proud of myself for keeping up with my walking while I was gone. I know that I could have just lounged around the house and not gone out, but I did even when it was cold (and hot.. we had a couple hot days in LA). I tried hard to eat right, but at the same time I let myself have stuff that I don't normally eat at home. I had a lot of chorizo and egg burritos for breakfast. I missed chorizo here in Miami, so I tried to get a bunch of it in while I was there. I'm sure if I looked I could find some chorizo in the stores here, but I just never looked.
Sleep last night was good.. I got about another 13 hours or so. I've missed sleeping in until noon. When I was in LA I could sleep in until 10 or so, but that was about it. I also had stuff to do on some days, so I had to wake up early. Like when we would go to the movies on Sunday, or when I went to church. It was so nice to come home to my bed and get some good sleep. I haven't needed to take klonopin since I got home. It's only been a couple of nights, but still, it's nice. I wasn't taking it so much on vacation either, since I didn't have to get up by a certain time most days. Even when I did have to wake up early I didn't have to take it every night. I've been getting good sleep... I think I'm making up for the time I was in LA and didn't sleep enough. That, and I might be a bit jet-lagged. Waking up at noon here is like waking up at 9am there, which is what I did for a lot of the time that I was there. But I like sleeping in until noon. It's a luxury I need, since I need my sleep.
Mood today was good... I didn't do much except go for my walk and make dinner. I made chicken and dumpling soup for dinner. The worst part of it was that I had to stand and cut the chicken off the bone into smaller pieces that we could eat. If it was up to me, I would just boil the thighs whole and then eat them whole from the soup. But Geo doesn't like bones in his soup. If it was up to him there would be no bones even while it's cooking. But that's how you get the good flavor. I add chicken bouillon as well, to increase the flavor.
Food today was good.. I was in the calorie range I wanted to be in. I think it's good, especially if I'm going to have a big food day tomorrow. It's Super Bowl Sunday, and Geo's Giants are playing. We have to watch it. I don't know what time it's going to be, but probably in the afternoon so I can sleep in again if I need to. I had Fruity Pebbles for breakfast, ramen for lunch and the homemade chicken and dumpling soup for dinner. It was very nice if I say so myself. I have some left over for tomorrow's breakfast. Stress today was low.. I didn't feel stressed. I just lay in bed for part of the day because I just wanted to relax. I've missed my bed (and my Geo that comes with it lol). Geo and I took a nap together today, and that was nice. I missed him so much, and I'm glad to be with him again!
