my scale battery died, I swear

I am only as strong as the coffee I drink and hair spray I useI haven’t weighed myself this week. I stepped on the scale Monday night and it was dead. I did all I could to resuscitate her. My medical knowledge assures me that a couple of 3 volt lithium coin buttons will bring her back to life. When I can get to the store. I’m trying to save gas and money. I don’t think I’ll get to Target until Friday at the soonest.

I know I have lost a wee bit because all my pants are loose. My stress eating has turned into stress starving. I have to remind myself to eat breakfast and lunch. Then I take Healthy Curb as the afternoon wears on so I don’t get the munchies too strong.

I am glad the sun has been out today and yesterday. It’s helping my mood immensely. The girls are having a rough time adjusting to Mike’s absence. We talk to him on Skype video chat every few days but they really miss Daddy. They have been sleeping with me most nights.

In other news, I copied Velveteen Mind’s content parlor idea and created a Social Stream that aggregates my StumbleUpon and Posterous. I’ve been adding some of Mike’s photos from Japan. This category doesn’t go into my main feed. I try to keep that to blog posts only. You can subscribe to the Social Stream feed if you like. Click This. Does that make sense? If you are a subscriber now, you don’t need to change anything.


a lot of stress eating

I slacked off this past week BIG time. I bought Little Debbie Nutty Bars over the weekend and ate a whole box in two days. I have a stack of viable excuses for this behavior. I always do. My life is the definition of stress. I didn’t excercise at all like I said I would last week.fried foods unhealthy

I eat when I am anxious. I eat when I’m sad. I eat when I’m bored. I eat. Healthy Curb is helping. It doesn’t make my stomach feel distended like other supplements I have tried. I was very lax about taking it the past week. I have basic idea of what times of day are best for me to take it. Snack time. I eat a 100 calories snack and drink a glass of water with the 2 pills. it came with a little travel pill case. Now I need to remember that they are in there when I am not at home. It’s so easy to drive up to Jack-In-The-Box and order egg rolls when I’m shuttling the girls between therapy, doctors and school.

I gained a little this week. I’m hoping it’s more water. I’m on a progesterone pill for my PCOS and I feel like I am in a drawn PMS. I’m going to blame these 2 pounds on bloating. I’m back to 196.2. Big Sigh.
