Happy Healthy Me

I feel so mad so upset. It’s like nothing I do is working. Do I eat less or do I eat more or should I workout less or workout more. I am confused and very discouraged. Any advice would be great. My weekend was a pure mess of junk food & fast food.

 Thank God it’s a new day!

Tonights dinner is at Longhorn Steakhouse which is my pick and a very easy resturant to eat on plan.

My valentine was awesome - the gift, the dinner, the everything.

I have had the toughest time today with dealing with the urge for chocolate. I know TOM will be here at any moment but oh what to do

If you think back to December 26th I set a Valentines day goal - that goal was to loose 8lbs by valentines day, well it’s valentines day and how did I do?

In this time range that I had to loose these 8lbs I was sick with mono and put on bed rest for a week and then there was no exercise for 3 weeks and then a slow progress to exercise schedule set by my doc. I’ve taken numerous medicines for various things and I have been fighting the headaches as well as the stuff with the knot on the side of my head. So there again you ask - How did you do?

On 12/26/07 I weighed in a 198.8 and today Valentines day I weighed in at 200.6 which means I am up 1.8lbs

Considering all I have been through I’ll take it.

Tonight hubby and I are goind to the Chart House for dinner mostly everything will be on plan except i will be having the lava cake as my valentine sweet treat.

 Yes I ate ice cream and it was the full of everything kind My mom and I had a heart to heart crying talk as she and I both (her more) are having a very hard time dealing with the loss of my dad and needless to say in the middle of it the ice cream came in to play.
