Day 41

Easy day today, 2mile walk in 35 min. The walk was good, outside in the afternoon, the trees fall colored, the ground yellow,orange green and maroon of the leaves, the sun bright but not burning, the air crisp and cool, not windy or cold.I usually do the weekly workouts on the treadmill and the long weekend R/W outside so this felt good.
But ate too much-have to tell GB to stop talking about food with me. She mentioned the round orange flavoured chocolate, so what did I get for the gorcery store? the round orange flavored chocolate which I then had 5 pieces of, which amounts to 25o cal, and now the rest of it is calling my name. Then I wonder why I dont lose weight with all the activity I do.
