Dottington - I hope you feel better soon!
Does it still feel weird referring to your bf as your fiance?
We actually started watching "The Shining" but I fell asleep about 45min into the movie
I was so tired from work that I couldn't keep my eyes open. When you do strength training, how many calories do you think you burn? I'm having a hard time figuring it out...

This weekend's recap:
1. I bought the ingredients for a carrot cake and didn't pick up anything else, no chocolate, no ice cream, no cake. I was super proud!
2. I used whole-grain flour and cut the amount of oil in half. I froze half of the cake and ate the other half on Saturday.
3. I could've ended the day right at maintenance calories if I hadn't stuffed my face with toast and jelly later that night (triggered by feeling all hyper and silly. Ugh.)
4. Started Sunday off healthy until I got into an argument with DH. Then we skipped going to the gym and I stuffed my face with toast, honey and brown sugar (who sprinkles brown sugar over honey toast?! Good Lord...). After that I ate the other half of the carrot cake.
5. We went over my sister's and had a barbecue with my family. We hadn't been together like that in a looong time. Even my brother's gf was there. I didn't eat too much since I was still full from all the sh!t I had earlier. Everybody told me that I had lost a lot of weight. I can feel and see it myself and it's really nice to hear that my family is starting to notice it, too.
6. Didn't exercise at all.
This was my second attempt at keeping my calories at maintenance on the weekend/splurge day. I have learned that I
can walk by the junk food aisle and not pick anything up. But I still need to learn how to not let my emotions get in the way.
This week will be all about exercise and keeping my calories at 1500-1600. On Saturday, DH and I will be going to a "USA festival" so that will be a new weekend challenge for me.
