Saturday night we ate at our very favorite Mexican restaurant (La Loma) so that Lee could get some green chile applied to his allergies (interestingly enough, he has not had a lot of relief from them even though eating Paleo, which makes me wonder if he has dairy issues. Not that he'd stop drinking milk for any reason). I had cheese enchiladas, chips and salsa, and a lot of hot green chile, which absolutely has flour in it. Bad enough to start with, but then we went to the movies.
And I had a medium popcorn.
I didn't eat all of it - fortunately, as it turns out - but I ate enough. Gained 2 pounds overnight from our little binge. Found myself staring at 146.0 yesterday morning. I stuck with fairly Paleo eating all day yesterday, but it wasn't done toying with me, and I was at 146.2 this morning.
Popcorn is a treat. Can't be indulged in regularly. And certainly not on top of a corn-heavy Mexican dinner. Like I didn't already know that.
I'm still fighting boredom eating, not too successfully. What I really need is something to do, so as not to get bored. The weather was miserable all weekend, so gardening was out. I did go out and get some fabric yesterday, and have 2 shirts and a dress queued up to make. That should help. And if all else fails, I can crochet - I have an afghan about two-thirds finished that I should buckle down and complete this summer.
As for our eating - I have cheese with me today. I will bring cheese all week. We will have burger patties and sauteed mushrooms and a salad for dinner tonight, and stick with a meat-and-leaves pattern for a while, until things calm down a bit. And they will. Maybe that will help Lee, too; he seems to be stalled again.
