Busy Week

Thank you to all of you who have been on my case about not posting.  It has been an extremely busy week, and I haven't been getting to bed until 12-1am already.  That just doesn't leave a lot of time for blogging.  It's been a stressful week!  We've been trying out a new budgeting software program and trying to make that work, making dinner menus, grocery shopping, pictures of Jameson with my nephew, picking up my little sister who is staying with us until Sunday, haircut, etc.  I am WIPED OUT!

I'm going to make this brief.  Basically, PMS has still been affecting me the last few days, but I can tell it is starting to taper off.  It makes me hungry all the time... it's like I can't fill up.  This is always a difficult few days when I am trying to watch what I'm eating.

Monday was pretty good day.  (Honestly, forgot what I had to eat by now, but I remember it was decent!)

Tuesday was alright.  I didn't have breakfast because we were on the go.   We ate out for two meals because I had lunch with my sister and brother-in-law after the boys' pictures and then we met Chris at work to go grocery shopping last night.  I had a cod sandwich and potato salad for lunch with water.  We went to Smashburger at my husband's request for dinner, which is a burger joint where you can get pretty much anything you want on a sandwich.  I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and added provel cheese, a little amount of buffalo sauce, and red onion to it.  I ordered the Sweet Potato fries instead of the regular and I only ate about 1/3 of them!  We also shopped at 3 stores in 3 hours, so I did a LOT of walking!

Today was a rough day.  We picked up my sister VERY early, and I forgot to grab breakfast.  We went to a free movie at the theater in South County, and Jameson asked for popcorn.  This, of course, led to me eating some of it too.  We got a medium bag of popcorn and a medium root beer.  We split the popcorn 3 ways, and I considered it my breakfast.  I was disappointed with myself, but it was too late to turn back the clock.  Jameson drank most of the soda (He drinks like crazy!), so I barely had any of that!  We then went to my grandma's house to visit with her this afternoon.  She made those Stouffer's French bread cheese pizzas for lunch, and I ate one of those.  I also had one bite of Jameson's vanilla pudding cup.  For dinner, we had spaghetti and meatballs with parmesan cheese.  THIS IS A HUGE WEAKNESS!  I'm pretty sure I should have been Italian or something because I LOVE pasta!  I ate a much bigger helping than I should have.

I am disappointed with myself today, but I know that things will be better tomorrow.  The only thing we have planned for the day is 45 minutes of gymnastics class (which is a workout for me too), so we will be able to eat at home more and get in some more activity.  I refuse to let this be the beginning of a slippery slope!  I WILL NOT give up now!

I decided that Sunday would be my weigh-in day each week and put a recurring reminder in my phone.  Last week I started on Tuesday and weighed on Sunday.  I was down 3 pounds in that week.  I hope today does not sabotage my results for this week.  I guess we will work hard until then and find out what happens on Sunday!  Wish me luck!!!
