How's this for challenges---My dear hubby had the nerve to ask me to stop and pick him up a DQ Blizzard Tuesday night on the way home from my chronic pain class. I was good I got a bottle of water and got him his treat, and then pouted as I watched him eat it and telling me how good it was. This was really cruel.

My second challenge for this week, okay this is two days in a row he has tested my willpower. Today on the way back from the doctor he stopped and got a Merlino's freeze. I had another water, but I so wanted that darn freeze.

Since he doesn't have a weight problem, it's not really fair of me to ask him not to eat those in front of me, but really asking me to get them for him.....that's just cruel.

I am staying on the course. I have my appt with surgeon Dr Baggs on Friday and hope he will be able to see that I have focused on my pre-op plan and as of today have lost close to 14 pounds. Guess I'll just have to wait to see what he says I need to lose. It's amazing, I go to 3 dr appts a week for my knee, back and neck and hate these appts, but I can't wait for my appt with Dr Baggs.

I am hoping to get through Thursday with no challenges --
