Got up 20 minutes early this morning so I could take my coffee and soak in the spa. I didn’t get to yesterday because we were out of town all day with the family. I was going to go out there last night before I went to bed but DGS beat me to it. Doesn’t seem fair that after waiting three weeks for it to be fixed, the grandkids get the first soak. Still, it was nice out there this morning.

Had a good time yesterday with the family. My birthday is this Wednesday and they had a birthday cheesecake for me. Yeah, I need that.

Going to try my best to be good today. No promises of perfection. Just going to do the best I can with the added incentive of blogging this evening and reporting the results. Also going to try to find out about some yoga today.

6:15 - AAARRRGGGHHH!!! OMG! Sh*t!!! I stepped on the scales. Crap!! Now I KNOW I’m going to behave today.

6:45 - Ready for work and waiting for the twins to finish getting ready. I keep feeling this overwhelming compulsion to blog. As if that’s going to make the weight fall off….

8:30 - Sitting here at work trying to clean up paperwork covering my desk and eating yogurt for breakfast. Thanks, Joy and Susan, for the comments. I think I’m safe if I can just hide here in my teeny-tiny little office and blog.

11:00 - I’m starving! Why is it that I can get busy and go all day without eating a bite and then, when I say I’m going to diet, I’m immediately starving? I already ate my yogurt and it’s too early for lunch. There isn’t much to eat in here….Phylissann’s crappy Nutrisystem stuff (gag!), some coffee creamer, splenda, a jar of imitiation bacon bits (that has to be Phyllisann’s! I would never buy that crap!) a glad bag of Kashi Go Lean from 3 months ago, and some stale pretzels. Think I’ll munch on a couple of pretzels and try to keep the demons at bay for a while.

12:00 - Tried to eat some pretzels but muh mouff waff so dwyyyy ahh kwit. Now I’ve got my generic LC in the microwave. Looks like it’s 320 calories. Phyllisann came up and said she brought us carrot cake. I told her I couldn’t do it. She said it’s homemade.

I said, “You don’t understand. I’m a new woman. Full or committment and resolve. I don’t want it.”

She said, “You HAVE to! It’s HOMEMADE!

I said, “NO!”

She said “Just one bite! Seriously, you’ve GOT to take at least a bite! I made it for Easter. It’s totally HOMEMADE!”

skinny, little bitch….

7:30 - Okay, congratulations are in order.  I ate one bite of Phyllisann’s cake.  She was right.  It was really good and totally homemade but I managed to eat just one bite.  Seems like it’s always a challenge.  Everywhere I look I see Danger!  Came home and DH made dinner.  What’s he serving, you ask?  Breaded deep fried cod, breaded deep fried shrimp, breaded deep fried onion rings, deep fried curly fries, macaroni salad, and leftover potato salad from yesterday.  If it wasn’t so disgusting, it might actually be funny.  I couldn’t believe he’d fix a dinner like that!  Of course, he knew how bad it was.  He didn’t even argue when I said I was eating a LC and a carton of yogurt.

The day is almost over and I’m holding my own.
