I'm Baaaaack!

And so begins day 8.  I haven't been off to a terribly good start, I'll admit it!  I did well much of last week but Saturday was Joey's birthday.  Despite having lots of healthy snack options, I just couldn't stop eating.  Much of what I ate was healthy, but I just consumed so damned much.  I got to the point where I wasn't even HUNGRY, I just wanted to eat.  NO idea what the hell caused it. 

Finally, yesterday, my TOM arrived.  Two weeks late, actually (I'm still not regular, having just started getting periods again in January after almost a two-year pregnancy/breastfeeding break).  I'll admit, I HATE getting my period but there is a sense of relief when it arrives because I know I'll let go of all the water I've been retaining.  PLUS, the terrible cravings will subside and I'll be able to just focus on my diet/exercise plan.

I've also been terrible about updating this blog!  I was so focused on getting ready for Joey's birthday party, I just didn't find the time to write.  Thank heavens it's over and I can get back to life as usual! 

My monday morning weigh-in was brutal this morning- 149.2 pounds!  That's almost a full pound up from last week.  I'm not overly stressed, though, because I know that I'm retaining water like crazy!  In a couple of days, my weight will dip down again.  Next monday should be lower number, for sure! 

The day has been off to a good start- some Fibre 1 raisin bran and skim milk.  I've got a nutritious lunch packed for the day.  When I go home, I'll do a nice workout and burn some cals.  I may have been roughly thrown from the wagon last week, but it's time to get back on and start trucking!
