Times are stressful and my eating shows it.  Turns out I am an anxious eater.  Since November the low grade stress has lead to lots of munchies.  I've put on about 20 pounds so am back to tracking my eating.  I find that is a good strategy for me.

I spent a few days in Detroit, Chicago, and Toledo and eat too much, but in good company and at good restaurants.  I figure this is the way to go -- enjoy special trips then return to paying attention.  

My other strategy is to have projects to work on--some simple little things but others more substantial.  I'm starting a new sewing class in April and have a few small items to finish.  And having some embroidery handwork helps as I don't want to stop nor do I want messy (ie food) fingers!

I do wish I enjoyed exercising as it really is missing from my routine.  Maybe when I retire?
