I am sick! Not the kind of sick you want to be when you're trying to lose weight either. The kind where your throat hurts and you need to keep eating hot or cold things to make it feel better.
I did make it to the gym Monday and Tuesday morning. I'm home from work today, so no exercise for me. I haven't weighed myself either.
Well this morning my husband will be home and he called to tell me to get ready cause he'll either be taking me to IHOP or some other great pancake place! ugh! no will power....
I'm doing ok. not awesome, but ok. I've managed to cut down my snacking a lot, but DH brought me a carton of ice cream and I've had no willpower with it. And we got pizza for dinner last night because I was too tired to cook, but we got veggie and I only had two slices.
I'm home today while our roof is being fixed, so hopefully that will be done early-ish and I can go do some grocery shopping before it starts getting late.
I did alright yesterday, but then went out for a massive BBQ beef dinner last night because one my family's exchange students from back in the day was visiting with his fiance. But at least it doesn't look like I GAINED weight after last night...just holding steady.
Gah! Monday went fine, Tuesday went ok. I ate healthy snacks, had salad for lunch and had healthy dinners. However yesterday went downhill fast. My group was under a lot of pressure to project new (much lower) numbers for our budget and I totally snapped, I had a turkey sandwich slathered in coleslaw for lunch and my bf bought me a buffalo chicken sandwich, fries and a giant bar of chocolate for dinner since I'd had such a hard day! So far today I've also eaten 5 doughnut holes. I do plan to turn over a new leaf and have salad for lunch but I can believe how badly I did yesterday? Why is it that when everything seems like it's in the crapper all I want is bad food?!

OMG - this was me yesterday - totally went downhill in the evening BUT
Today is a new day! Each week we're going to have a crappy day that you have to just shake off. Today is officially going to be my good day. I'm going for a run....that's the plan
lunch - mixed greens salad with honey mustard dressing (at a pizza restaurant) plus 2 bites of my daughter's cheese pizza
snack - diet rootbeer and chex mix bar
dinner - grilled cheese sandwich on an Arnolds Seletc sandwich thin, made with 2% cheese and butter spray and TJs Tomato and Roasted REd Pepper soup and a few saltines
snack - 100 calorie carrot cake thing
Thursday:
breakfast - chai (made at home w/ skim milk)
lunch - 1 Smart Ones Chicken Quesadilla, 17 Genisoy crisps, 2 TBS salsa plus chex bar
ETA - Oh, I didn't exercise today or yesterday but did cardio Sun, Mon, and Tues and will try to do more Friday.
I'm still sick, so I continuw with my Edy's fruit pops, etc.
But, DH just picked up a treadmill about 2 hours ago! So, when I am feeling better I will have no excuse not to exercise. I now have the task of deciding where to put it, but that shouldn't be a big deal. I see the spare room becoming our home gym and the den inheriting the bed from spare room.
I did weigh myself this morning, and I haven't gained any weight, so it could be worse.
Have been doing good. Not so much of a diet but just incorporating lots of fruits and veggies, more water and cutting out midnight snacking. So far so good! I feel better and less bloated.
