Yeah, Hubby wanted to go see Monsters vs. Aliens tonight.  Eh, it was okay.  The popcorn was awesome but unfortunately indulging this evening put me over in carbs for the day.  Usually if I’m gonna have popcorn I save up carbs to make room for it, but tonight I didn’t know we were going to the movies until well after I’d eaten dinner.  Oh well.

I suppose I could have just sat there in the theater with no popcorn.  Nahhhh.  LOL I’ve never done that in my whole life! 

I didn’t exercise today because I’m sore everywhere from the work I did yesterday!  It’s amazing that something like raking leaves and squatting down 800 times (to pick up stuff or lay out the mulch we put down) could make a person hurt like this!  Ouch!!  So I got a grand total of zero stars today.  It’s okay, I’ll be back at it tomorrow!  Hubby and I are going to do some more work at home since he’s off of work (spring break) and tomorrow’s his last weekday off.  We were supposed to go bike-riding but the stuff at home needs to be done.  Maybe we’ll go on Saturday.

I’m back to weighing myself every day.  I tried it - I gave it a good run - in fact, too good.  In the three weeks I didn’t weigh myself, I got a little too comfortable with not weighing myself.  *Sigh*  Is there no happy medium for me??  Sadly, though, I didn’t lose any weight in March.  In fact, since March 1, I gained 2.6 lbs.

I read in someone else’s “About Me” page (can’t remember whose!) that the person was now at the exact weight they had been at for many years - and it was like their body had developed a default setting so it stayed at that familiar weight level.  That is exactly where I am!!  I weighed about 235 when I got married in 2000 (going on 9 years now!) and hovered between 235 and 240 for more than 7 of those 9 years.  It’s been a VERY long time since I was in the 220’s or lower and I want to be there SO bad!!!  I’m gonna hafta REALLY work it if I’m gonna push through this stall and get my weight-loss moving again!

And so that’s what I’m gonna do!!  April is gonna be my breakthrough!
