Stuff

The moon was so magical last night. It was huge off in the distance as we were driving home from the supermarket, to spend some time crafting and watching SG-1 in the den. Our netflix disks have been sitting forever, and we're finally started getting through them again.

When I headed up to bed Brian followed me up to tuck me in. We snuggled for a bit and I noticed that from the new placement of our bed, we could see the moon outside of our window. We're really loving that bedroom, and since its in fall colors we plan on taking some foliage photos to frame and hang on the last naked wall. The fall is truly my favorite season.

I can't believe its already Thursday! We'll be hitting Anna's and Goffee tonight. Wench33, if you are there I can bring your NMBC stuff.

Eating

The office park hosted a free cook-out for all tenants, so we got a free lunch, got to play some games *and* I got to see DW for a bit (and introduce him to my crazy boss - who said he'd eat extra baked beans in preparation for our 2:00 meeting).

One thing I'm noticing since doing WW is how much food people eat, and that I actually don't have a desire to eat such food. They had a nice spread of options: potato salad, pasta salad, fruit salad, huge hot dogs, hamburgers, rolls (for said meat), grilled chicken breast and condiments/sides for them. There was a selection of drinks (diet and otherwise) and two ice cream trucks where everything was free for us.

Now, I'm not saying this to be critical of others - put into your body what you want to. I'm just wondering how much people realize about what they're eating. This was totally my case - I had no clue how much extra stuff I was putting into me each day. If you think of a regular meal as a meat or protein, starch and veggie - most people had a few meats, a few starches, and no veggies (unless they bulked up on the lettuce, tomato and onions provided for burgers - there was no kind of green salad). A burger (with bun), a hot dog (with bun) and a chicken breast plus sides . . . if you think about it that's about a day's worth of food in just one meal.

Its funny, because my plate looked really small to me, but after that and an ice cream and a whole bottle of water I'm stuffed. Its still fascinating to me how the body can train itself to eat more than it needs . . . doesn't seem like a good thing evolutionwise. Of course unless our bodies haven't learned yet that most of us don't have long periods without food as our ancestors did. But I digress.

Just some things to think about. I was disappointed that the ice cream trucks didn't have rockets http://www.hoodhomedelivery.com/pageFiles/ProdDetailTemp.php?id=473&itm=3291&strPageName=Ice%20Cream . The printing on the packaging is different now, but these guys were my classic ice cream truck treat and if I ever have the chance to order from a vehicle and they have these, that's what I get. Not bad nutritionally either (at least, compared to the Klondike bar that I had). :)
