Week 17, Day 5: Chicken hearts! and mindful eating

Friday I'll go weigh in to see what two weeks of neither measuring nor writing down, but some mindfulness and a lot of cycling, has done to my weight loss program. If I'm still losing at a brisk clip, I may continue to play loose with the process. If not, it's back to the food diaries.

There have been some...episodes. Like last night when I had a snack attack comprised of three slices of butter bread and six Oreos.

But I think I've been largely within the guidelines and certainly have put the miles on the bike, some of them pretty hilly.

In other news, I found chicken hearts! at the Reading Terminal Market! and I know they're not the leanest cut of meat in the galaxy but my gosh I loves my curried chicken hearts. I had curried chicken hearts for dinner last night and more curried chicken hearts for lunch today.

Today was a short bike ride -- just eight miles or so -- but I'm going to take the dog out for a walk soon. And an early morning bike ride is on the schedule for tomorrow.

(EDIT: Meant to mention that the swiss chard is well and truly sprouted, whee! And both zucchini and grape tomatoes are down to 99 cents a pound/pint at the Reading Terminal Market. The backyard peaches, on the other hand, are disappointing -- too much bitter almond flavor, presumably from the peach pits)
