My Thoughts:
Have a good lunch planned for today. Plan on getting Subway for dinner since we have to go to the hospital again. This week's dinners have been SO screwed up. Ugh. So far I've only gain 1/2 pound back. It's probably b/c we've still been working out and have got cardio in every day except Wednesday which is our normal day off. Still feeling pretty good about myself though. Obviously there is still lots of room for improvement, but I'll get there.

Didn't make it to the gym b/c we stayed at the hospital too long visiting Kisha. Will make it up on Sunday.

My Thoughts:
I think my PMS hit this week instead of the week before like in the past. Ugh! I also think I'm getting addicted to hot tea again. You notice I've had a few recently. The good thing is that it's still not caffeinated and I don't use anything besides water and a tea bag. No sugar. Definitely limiting myself to 1 per day, but hoping more like every other day.

Had a great workout with lower. Changed up my weights a bit and found I can do more weight on some things. Or maybe it was b/c I only had sugar & carbs for dinner. hee hee Still a good workout though. I traded dinner for dessert.

My Thoughts:
Eric got a slice of turtle cheesecake & a piece of Tiramisu for us to eat this evening after dinner so I'm sure I will be eating a little of each of those. :) It's my birthday though. I don't feel guilty at all. It's going to be a long evening again b/c after dinner we are heading to the hospital to see K again and take her a few things.

So we didn't eat the dessert Eric picked up yesterday for my birthday. I ate ENTIRELY too much at dinner. It was so darn gooooood though! It did hit my later and made me realize I should NOT have eaten that much, but it seemed like the thing to do at the time.

My Thoughts:
Still pretty stressed over yesterday (read other blog). Needed a pick-me-up this morning. Did get non-fat though.

Looks like my eating this week is going to be compromised. Tonight we are going to the hospital, so we'll have to pick up something. Tomorrow is my birthday of course and the people at my office want to take me to lunch, then Eric is taking me out to dinner. Thursday we have our normal lunch together. Who knows what else will happen between now and then?!

I truly did not eat much cheese dip. Probably ate more chips than I should, but what's new? My head was not in the working out gear tonight, but I got through it and even did 10 min on the treadmill, but truth be known it was only b/c Eric wasn't done yet so I did the treadmill while he was finishing up.

My Thoughts:
Have another goal to get 4 waters in every day this week including the weekend. Feeling crampy today. Not sure if I'll eat breakfast or not. Brought a banana to work in case. Will probably eat it as an early morning snack. Also brought 2 snickerdoodles made w/ splenda in case I need a sugar fix from AF. My MIL made and brought them to us this weekend. Haven't tried one yet.

My cramps hit really hard late morning so I downed 2 more tylenol and had some hot tea. One of the two (or maybe both) worked and I'm feeling much better. Yay!

Darn, only got 3 waters in today.

My Thoughts:
Not sure how, but the scale said 142 this morning, so I somehow lost 2 pounds this week. Whatever the reason I am happy about it to say the least. I'm getting closer. At least I know somethings working. I also notice recently that my stomach hasn't bothered me as much since I began eating better. In the past my stomach would just cramp up after I ate about anything. It seems to be more "settled" now. Interesting. That is a bonus in itself! Granted the pizza on Friday night didn't do much for it, but overall it's been much better! Maybe I'll hit 140 next Sunday. It is reachable!

Planned out our menu for the week. Should be a pretty good week. Went grocery shopping so we have all the groceries for those meals. Need to make some chicken & rice casserole for another meal or so this week. Will probably do that this evening, too. Plan on eating out on Wednesday at La Scala. Will try to get something good there. It is Italian though. Then will eat out Saturday while in Chicago getting my new look. That should be it besides our normal Thursday lunch. Oh and I'll have a slice of angel food cake that my co-worker is supposed to be bringing for my birthday.
