Before you go all 'Yip Ha-ing' i have to tell you what is NOT included in here. I went out to a jewelry party. I have never been to one. It was nice stuff. But, inevitably, at these parties there is food. Yummy, nibbly food. I did not go hog wild, but i had some lovely butter tarts, tiny pieces of carrot cake, a piece of celery so i didn't feel completely depraved, some pitas and dark rye bread pieces with various dips. Impossible to account for. other that my fat, i can hope i broke even. i can hope, can't i?? LOL

week 21 day 3

i am finding this round to be very difficult. i just want to be left alone to eat what i want! LOL which is how i got into the mess, isn't it? my numbers suck. horribly. but i tracked. i have to confess that i didn't track a couple of things later on in the day, but if i hadn't gone to arby's for lunch i would have been fine :P. sigh. i dont' want to make good decisions. i want FAT!! that sounds discusting.

week 21 day 2

well, the only way i would call today successful is that i managed to track. I might have been fine if not for the half of a giant dairy milk chocolate bar and the chips that i didn't weight so i don't know exactly how many i had. i was feeling panicky and deprived so made some stupid choices.. have to do better tomorrow.

alright.. cue music, take.. what take are we on. 5? 6?

I haven't even gone back to figure out what week i am on again, i have lost count. i put on two pounds i think.. maybe 3.. and i started to panic. so i have started tracking again today. I am still down more than 15 pound. that really doesn't sound like much, but do you know what it equates to? It means that when i put on last years capris and shorts, as i am pulling them up my legs, cringing, waiting for them not to fit, to have to fight with the zipper, to jump and cry and get angry. It means that when i pull them up, pull up the zipper and do up the button. they fit. beautifully.

Every time i pull out an old pair from last summer, i hold them for a minute. close my eyes and pray to God that they will fit. I hadn't realized that i do this all the time. It isn't a happy place to be.

What is happiness? it is knowing that they will fit, and might even have a little bit of extra room.

So i am tracking again. because if i lose more, maybe i will lose the dread that comes with shopping and realize you aren't the size you thought you were, you need the next size up.... again. i want to like shopping.

ya ya, i know.. shut up already ;) you will get my numbers later.

ya ya.. i know

it is not that i fallen off the wagon, per se... my month of May is one that i am merely hoping to survive and hopefully remember the good times. LOL.. Every single weekend is packed!

My daughter's First Communion, her dance makeup lessons, photo shoots, and recital, mother's day, my birthday, a friend i haven't seen in five years coming to visit, my mother-in-law essentially moving in for several months (which does not make me unhappy, btw), are all happening in the month of May.

On top of that is my regular monthly plans: book club meetings (hopefully reading the damn book), my quilting executive meeting, my regular quilting meeting, sewdays, etc.. and then the stupid little health issues that seem to be cropping up.

I'm afraid tracking not been a priority at all. Happily i can report that i have not put on any weight. I think i will continue to be aware, not worry too much, and pick it up again soon.

over on everything! but not horribly. if you look at my week all together i am:
under in calories by 1037
i went over in my fat by 9g
my fibre is not an issue
protein is under my 58g.. still need to work on that, but the lentils are totally helping!
my sodium was under by 1842mg.

it is a far more sucessful week overall than last week.. let's see how nice the scale is to me on monday :) especially if you keep in my mind that my daughter's first communion is tomorrow and we are having the family over for finger foods and cake *sigh*.. fingers crossed and send me helping vibes :)
