After that I was still feeling hungry but instead of eating some potato chips that were beside my laptop, I decided to make a salad out of a watermelon my dad bought me:

Later in the afternoon I was feeling a little bit noshy, so I decided to have a bowl of lentil soup with some leftover organic chicken strips:




Right after consuming the dessert, I decided to catch up on episodes of Dexter while cleaning out my desk drawers and that did the trick until bedtime. I find that as long as I have something to keep my hands busy, I tend not to eat. However, if I'm just watching TV or reading a book (ha! Sean, that was for you), I tend to snack and because I almost always want something savory, I tend to look for actual meals, rather than opting for a cookie or bar of chocolate if I were to crave something sweet. It's the downfall of not having a job right now, I think. I'm not getting as much exercise as I was before...if you can call carrying parcels exercising. I did some weightlifting yesterday but I know it's not often and I can see the extra pounds adding up. It's just 1.5lbs so far but I don't want the month that it all came off, "to go to waste." It's not that I actually tried really hard to lose that weight; it's not like I tried at all. The weight came off from all the stress and work while at work and well, I feel like if I gain all that weight back, it'll be like the stress and frustration and intensity I faced while at the post office was for nothing.
And while there are days when I feel really motivated to work out, what I really want to do the most is run, but I can't. I a) don't have running shoes and b) it's freaking cold outside and I don't have proper running clothes and c) I have asthma. I know that the last excuse is just that...an excuse. I know that I could probably run with asthma if I just figured out a way, but right now, sometimes even breathing in the cold gives me problems. Plus, for some reason my tongue is swollen and I is not a happy camper.
I is also huuuuuuuungry!
