Well, this weekend could have gone perfectly, but I did a little too much baking.  I had muffin and cookie mixes that were going to expire, so, rather than let them go to waste, I made up the cookie dough and baked the muffins.  My husband will eat the muffins (that is, if I don’t get to them first), but the cookie dough will stay in the freezer.  That presents a bit of danger for me, but so far it hasn’t hurt me since the initial night of mixing it up.

Tonight I did well with the muffins until the end when I just totally caved.  There’s no other way to put it– my willpower just left me.  I was genuinely hungry, though, so that didn’t help matters.  Even after dinner, I was really hungry.  At that point, i had only had about 700 calories, so that might have something to do with it.  Still, I should have had something other than muffins and a bit of a rice krispie treat.  Hopefully it won’t hurt me too much, and hopefully this coming week will go better than the weekend did.

I just wonder where the original motivation has gone.  In the beginning months of the diet, even if I was hungry, I didn’t cheat.  Now, hunger just gets to me sometimes.  I don’t know if it’s because I’m just tired of dieting or what.  I know that if I just buckle down and do what I’m supposed to do, this will all be over in just a couple of months.  I guess I just need to remind myself of that for the next few weeks when I’m tempted to cheat.

weight at home: 168 (.5 up from yesterday– maybe it’s a delayed cookie dough reaction.)
