Good Evening Walkers!
No exercise yesterday & stayed up way late Fri & Sat nights & ate both nights. Fri night above my red zone :-( but last night not as bad - stayed in my orange zone of pts. Tonight committing to JGTB around 10 pm. I've been enjoying watching "Mozart In The Jungle" but it's just too risky for me to stay up. I get started with the TV & snack foods and just don't want to stop either. The habit loop is too strong. I did stay up and did avoid the eating one night this past week So I know I can do it but it's just not worth the risk. It's like that research on willpower depletion. At that time of day my judgment and willpower are at a low ebb. Plus I have that strong habit loop with the eating.
Eat Right Now mindfulness training today focusing on loving kindness meditation. Especially toward ourselves, not beating ourselves up for our mistakes.
It snowed and sleeted and rained off and on today but I had 4 miles on Friday & I'll march in place tonight to get 13.5 Miles for the week.
Really interesting article in "The Atlantic" re genes and happiness.

RUTH - lol re your DH & driving, parking, etc crankiness - he must be a clone of mine :-). So glad you enjoyed the outing.

Waving at everyone! Have a great day!
