Becoming Habit

Three weeks in a row my friend from church took me to lunch. I think it will be the norm from now on, though I could be wrong. We had an enjoyable lunch together at Perkins, where we always go because it's the most compatible with the diet program I'm on.
This week I can definitely say I cheated on the diet, but not a lot. It was a good meal with dessert, their no sugar added wildberry pie. I can usually find something on the menu compatible with my diet, but today, I felt the freedom to eat what I wanted.
I told her I would make her dinner one of these times, but she said she liked eating out. So, I'll go with whatever.
Church this morning was awesome, as usual. Despite the cold, we had a full service. This is Wisconsin after all, and we don't cancel unless the weather won't permit travel - blizzards, which has happened, but not often.
I was layered - thermals, outer clothes, hoodie, and jacket, with a hat that covered my ears and a hood over that encompassing my neck. I even have wool socks on. I wasn't cold. According to the weather, it's warmed up a little bit. We're at 12 F with a wind chill of -6, so not as cold as when I left for church this morning. 
My plan for today is to get caught up with the notifications. I can do it. My son also called while I was out, and he's going to call back. He's at work. So, I'll know when I'm going to do laundry, which needs to be soon.
So, that's what's going on with me. How about you? What are you doing today? Thanks for reading.

Sounds like you had a wonderful day, and yes you would be warm all bundled up like that. It's been forever since I ate at Perkins as the went out of business around here.

@just4him it's fine, but I do remember the chicken strips they had and they were so yummy.

So glad your friend takes you to lunch. Do you drive her?
I used to wear thermals when I walked in the winters up north. I didn't want to look like a frozen dumpling. lol. Be safe driving and walking.
I've been trying to catch up on my notifications, but have had a neighbor drop by, texts from my son who was alerted that our power went out, and phone calls. Tonight we were invited to dinner at a restaurant by that famous playwright neighbor of ours and his wife. Should be a lively evening.

How was your evening with your neighbor? No, we follow each other from church to the restaurant after deciding which one we're going to.
I can't imagine you a frozen dumpling. 
So far, it's only been cold. The snow has started and will continue through the night, then taper off and begin in earnest tomorrow afternoon. At least that was the last forecast I saw this morning.
I read your comments about the power and I'm glad everything is okay and restored.

I'm so glad you are okay with cheating on your diet, as I know many get really mad at themselves, and that's never good.
Sounds like a good weekly tradition, with her. (I'd prefer eating out too, lol).
Since you guys are use to the weather, im not surprised the church had a full service.
We somehow got to 50F today, after being 20s-30s for days. craziness!

I felt I could eat what I wanted yesterday, so the pressure was off, though I did stay as much to my diet as possible with the choice I made. I'm going to really need to watch what I eat from now on. I'm still fighting the few pounds I put on over Christmas. I have no intention of buying big clothes again.

Glad you are enjoying your day. The pie sounds good. My favorite pie is blueberry. I am have a lazy Sunday. It has been freezing rain here for about four hours now so everything is closed or cancelled.

Breakfast at Perkins sounds good to me. I don't know if I'd be able to stay on a diet there
Enjoy your day!

I do my best. I choose an item that works well with my diet. I didn't have that one yesterday. It was a good day.

Lunch out sounds wonderful. I have not eaten at Perkins in many years. I am glad you had a nice time. That sounds like a good habit that you both enjoy.

@just4him Oh I know. I get hungry. Yet, I have been losing weight, and want to keep it off.
