The oreo's are calling my name......but I've been good so far today. I have the apple that I should eat sitting right next to me but it doesn't appeal to me right now. My brain is rationalizing "if I clean out the litter boxes then a few cookies won't hurt but would be a reward......" But would they really or would I do what I think will happen and just keep eating them? I don't seem to have much willpower today. I just want to lay around and enjoy this lovely fall weather we are having. But to truely enjoy it that means I have to wait until the hubby is "comfprtable" enough to turn the air - yes the air - back off to open the windows. Evidently getting up to 77 F today was too much for him. UGH! Or I could go sit on the deck with my knitting and the lawn chair. But since I am knitting socks right now I run the risk of losing a needle through the deck boards.......decisions! Meh, if I wait another hour I can open the windows and knit on the couch. Maybe I can convince him to suffer an hour earlier. :)
Lunch today was a Smart One's Salsbury Steak with mac & cheese - YUM. Truthfully it could be worse - darn McDonald's monoply game! It really makes it even worse that if I large size my normal meal (chix club sandwich) that I get 4 more game pieces than I would normally. That is if I were to eat there......which I did about 4 times within the first few days of the game opening. But the bad thing about that is my weight goes up. And we have ordered the dress for Amy's wedding - so I gotta fit into it since we had it sent to where she lives and it arrives the day BEFORE her wedding! >.< No more eating for me.....well not really just no more junk food. Man it's tough.
On that note I decided to try and get my stomach to be less of a big pooch thing that it is right now. So I did some sit-ups this morning. Nothing too big just 15 as that was what I could do before it started hurting. I figure tomorrow I'll try to do one more and the same the following day. I also want to work on my arms to have less of that upper arm jiggle. So I guess I better get started lifting the weights I have. If I start right off with the 5 lb. ones I have then I have to start lower but if I follow the same thing as the sit-ups - increasing 1 a day.......I think it will work. I know it won't all be gone in time - I mean the wedding is 11/8, but hopefully it will be better than it looks now. Here's me crossing my fingers. Ok back to the cat litter boxes - guess I better get those done. Cuz they need it.

Keep up the good work.
The cravings used to be really tough for me. It is a challenge to be successful at this when brain chemistry doesn't cooperate.
Move your body more and be gentle on your spirit.
