I went shopping today. Just me, myself and I. Eventually, after 3 hours of searching 5 different stores I found a dress. It was in the very last store I was going to look in, on a clearance rack in the very back of the store in the Junior's section. I'm not utterly super-thrilled with it. I have to wear shapewear under it because it is just a little bit too snug on the waist and my belly is all pokin' out, but hey, it's red and it doesn't make me look like a toadstool or the side of a big red barn. Now I have to find shoes that don't kill my feet/ankle.
I ended up eating fairly badly today, but for some reason it's just not making me feel "bad" emotionally like it would usually. I had Chick-filet for lunch and 2 doughnuts for breakfast. I'm still full and it's dinner time, so I think I'm good for the rest of the day.
A plane broke in another city, so my husband isn't going to be able to go with me to the graduation. I'm trying to make arrangements to stay with my family in their hotel room instead of staying by myself with the young'uns in another motel. This entire trip has been riddled with setbacks. *sigh*
Okay, so if you put a small sliver of almond bark on your tongue (not even enough to swallow, only enough to melt to give you a taste) does that count as calories? Just curious what everyone's opinion is on that.....just because I'm nit-picky like that, I guess.
Doin' pretty well calorie-wise, but not really good choices. And I'm hungry. This day hasn't been as stinky as I had thought it would be.....although my daughter JUST walked in the door with the sin cake from Grandma's (I'll try posting a pic later)....so there's still time for the day to be a total bust. I'm gonna breathe and pray....just breathe and pray. It's JUST a stinkin' cake....I don't want it, I don't need it...it will not have power over me.....it's no good for anything except to make me unhealthy, clog my arteries and put dimples on top of the dimples I ALREADY have on my thighs. The sin cake WILL NOT win! Say it with me, ladies...the sin cake WILL NOT win! (Okay, I'm kinda scarin' myself now! )
I'm goin to cover the cake up now with something that can't be seen through....for my own protection...
Well...running and other exercise might be put off for a while. I have no idea what in the world I did to my hip, but OH MY GOSH I can barely walk! I look like a little old lady wobbling around..it hurts sooo badly....
hmmm... up 1/4 lb today from last monday, but down 1/4 lb from friday... Victory? Sure, why not... still hoping for a whoosh... I almost freaked cuz the gym scale originally said 155.5, which is a whole lb up from friday, then I realized I was still wearing my sweater... I NEVER weigh in my sweater, just sweats, t-shirt and shoes. I felt better to know that .75 lbs of that was the sweater... LOL
Dinner tonight is pan fried tilapia, and broccoli Normandy... I think I'll still be a bit low on calories...
Ande: I'm a daily weigher, and I say VICTORY!! Congrats on the food co-op coming! Yay!
Pint: I'm glad you found a dress and red is my favorite color! I'm sorry to hear about the hubs' plane debachle. Atleast you're gonna look spicy with that red dress and that awesome hair! Hope hubby gets things straightened out very soon!
Linds: I'm sorry to hear about your hip! I'd stop all exercise if it hurts that bad. It sounds like that hip needs rest, rest, and more rest. Hope it gets to feeling better soon!
I'm getting on here late tonight. No time for personals. I hope you all had a wonderful on plan day today.

LittleLindsey--Definitely stop exercising until that clears up! My friend recently busted her hip while finishing up marine boot camp and was walking/running around on it for...oh, three months? Not good. Take it easy and feel better.
Well, today has been lovely in terms of food and exercise. I actually have food options since I went grocery shopping yesterday. I went to the gym and did 30-40 minutes of some pretty intense elliptical-ing and interval running. When I go on the elliptical, I usually set it to "strength," and I noticed that in just a week of frequent work-outs, I'm already getting stronger. Excitiiiing.
Today wasn't perfect but I didn't go too over calories. TOM hit me like a freight train. I started to cry for no reason tonight and polished off more chocolate at work. The good news is there's no chocolate left (since it all got eaten). Came home to go for a run but it was one of those awful no-energy half-effort runs where everything felt 10x harder than usual.

Eurydice--Isn't that an awesome feeling? I love feeling strong!
Good Morning, Diana!
Andejean--That's great! I think food co-ops are a wonderful idea. And definitely a victory!
Lindsey! Yikes!! You take it easy for a bit. How are you feeling today?
Diana(LA)--If it's from your computer, use the paper clip option. If it's already on the internet, use the insert image option. Does that help? Also, the sin cake will NOT win!!!
Rita--They may not be taking into account your low carb, higher protein diet. But, I'm horrible when it comes to carbs and protein. Maybe Diana can weigh in? She's pretty smart.
Pint--Yay for finding a red dress! Do we get to see it?
Yesterday's Info:
Weight: Blah
Exercise: LS 2 fast miles + C25k Week 1 Day 2
Calories: 1,356 (under my carb allowance for the day, but also under on my protein)
I woke up soooo hungry this morning! I decided to try my hubby's Weetabix cereal and ugh...(no offense to those who like it)...I thought it was horrible! It got soggy instantly and I struggled to finish it. Oh well, at least I have my coffee.
Well, today is official weigh in day. I may be down a pound and a half. I was hoping for two. But atleast there was no gain. I'm moving ticker when I finish this post....moving it back up because my pound and a half from day before yesterday day that came back yesterday is only back down a lb. (That was confusing....basically I'm down a lb rather than 1 1/2....)
Hope I can do well today so I have a successful weigh in at weight watchers. We don't weigh in til 6 p.m. which gives you ALL day to mess it up.
I wonder if those of us who have had hysterectomies still have PMS/TOM water gain? Anybody have any info about this? I've never looked in to it. I know I still have some mood changes every month....not as bad as pre-hysterectomy, but they are still there for sure.
Well, I have TONS to do today. Have a GREAT day everyone!!!
