weigh in: 224.0
James greeted me this morning with the aftermath of a leaky diaper.
I was pretty busy at work.
breakfast: Fiber One Strawberry and Almond bar
lunch: garden salad with fat free dressing
snack: Reeses Pieces Brownie Cookie (a whopping 5 points for that one little cookie. Boo)
dinner: one plate of taco salad made with ground turkey and brown rice. Lots of salad, easy on the taco.
I’m unsure I have wiggle room left for a WW ice cream bar later, but heck, I might just have one anyway.
I’ve decided on a new mini-goal. I’d like to lose another 5 lbs before my biometrics appointment on the 13th. Is that realistic? I don’t know anymore.
My knees ache and I feel all wired from the sugar from that cookie. It’s weird, I stop eating crap and then when I let myself have a small something I get totally wired. My whole body just freaked out. I don’t know if it was the sugar or the fact that I’m allergic to peanuts but ate (essentially) a reeses pb cup in cookie form. IT WAS WORTH IT! I only became allergic to peanuts when I was 17 so I *know* what I’m missing. I’m not deathly allergic, but my tongue and lips swell a little bit but not enough to be *really* dangerous.
Anyway.

Thanks, L, for your kind remarks during my meltdown. It meant a lot to me.
I have to answer, sometimes, to friends who say, “You shouldn’t have to be taking care of those kids! Make their parents step up to the plate.” I appreciate that you understand why I can’t. Most people just don’t “get it” but I see that you do. Thanks for your kindness and caring. I usually have a pretty upbeat attitude and enjoy the Hell out of my life but, every once in a while, ya just need a good cry!
Hugs!
