Well, vacation is over...POUT POUT!! I think it's actually going to be a good thing. I eat way too much when I'm home. I want to snack all day and that's BAD! I try to choose healthy snacks but found myself eating CHOCOLATE today, that's BAD BAD BAD!!! I am a sugar addict so, I know not to eat it.

I did manage to lose five pounds this last two weeks!!!!! So, I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I did take my diabetes medicine just so my sugar didn't spike. I haven't had to take it since I had my surgery.

I am really feeling the restriction in the mornings, I tried to eat cherry yogurt this morning and got stuck on a little piece of the cherry. It loosens up after about three hours and a glass of water, I'm wondering if it has something to do with being a little dehydrated from the overnight, without water.

Friday night, Dave (my friend) and I took my roomies ten year old to the races with us. It was a BLAST he was in awe! It was fun watching his reactions to the wrecks. He was having so much fun, and Dave was having as much fun watching him as the races. Too fun!!!

Yesterday was a quite day, I didn't do anything but SLEEP!!! I was good and went and worked out for about an hour and a half.

I LOVE Wilson's gym they are great people and it's not the type of gym that you feel intimidated walking into. I'm going to take a cardio dance class on Tuesday night, that should be fun. I found my flirty girl workout video's so I'm going to start working out to them and to the biggest loser workout videos too. I have found that I really enjoy exercise. It's my time! I love the way it makes me feel and I try to do a wide variety of things so I don't get bored with it.

Today I cleaned house, did laundry and I cooked dinner tonight for Larry, for those of you who haven't read my previous blogs, he's my ex- relationship without a relationship guy...Man it was HARD seeing him...He's the first person that I can honestly say that I have been truly in love with. I ended it a few months ago because I knew it wasn't going anywhere and I was going to end up getting hurt. My roomie invited him out for dinner, not sure if it was her idea or his. I of course cooked his favorite meal and we had a great time. It was a little tense... and I was right...I ended up getting hurt. I still after four months have very strong feelings for him. He was very complimentary of my weight loss, he hugged me and was like "WOW, you're getting skinny"....Pardon me for a moment....Jumping up...giving myself a high five! ...YAY ME!!!!!! :thumbup:

Ok back now, sorry about that....

It made me feel so good!

That's about it for today. I think I'm going to work on a menu plan for next week. I need to start keeping better track of what I'm putting in my little tummy so I can start losing MORE!!!

Good job on the weight loss!!! Keep it up.

Look on line or here for alternative sweet snacks that are better for you. If you like cupcakes, I’ve made some that are under 100 cal a piece. You only get the calories from the mix.

(Take a cake box mix of any kind not cupcake box, instead of using the added ingredients that they want, use a can of soda (reg or diet), I added 3 carob chocolate chips in each cupcake too. Cook it up as the box states and vwala you have a homemade diet cupcakes)

Remember to bring snacks to work so you don’t go to the office machine or the lunch truck that might come by! (if you do have a lunch truck; ask them if they can cook something healthy for you?)

Being tight in the AM: I too am tight and what I’ve done is drink first before I eat. Either cold or hot right as I get up. I get it ready the night before. Get up, go to fridge and pull out the drink. I drink 4 to 6oz before I eat. It usually is a half hour that goes by before I eat.
