Being fat is hard. Losing weight is hard. Maintaining lost weight is hard. Pick your hard. Today I picked: Maintaining

Hmmm... The above tagline was supposed to motivate me, but all it seems to be doing is making me shy away from blogging. ;o)

Yesterday wasn't good in terms of healthy eating. Today wasn't much better. At least I exercised today.

Onto tonight and tomorrow. No sweets tonight. I'm drinking my chamomile & peppermint tea (aka Sleepytime) with 2 splenda packets hoping that it will work it's sweet magic and substitute for some sort of dessert option. We really don't have anything around, but that's never stopped me from eating handfuls of chocolate chips or making a full batch of chocolate chip cookies. I need to make a batch, freeze the scoops of dough and portion them out into baggies with 3 cookies each. It seems like a waste of baggies, but maybe it will help me to only bake 3 at a time. So I can have my sweet tooth and weight loss together. That's the goal right? Balance. Always about balance.

I swear that if I were had the balls to get a tattoo, it would be the word "balance" somewhere where I see it everyday. Make it look like a bracelet or something. Just to remind me that literally everything in life comes down to balance.

Tomorrow, I will get up with Mike - he starts his new job - and do 6w6p as planned. Grocery store to get some buttermilk for dressing and then salad for lunch. I actually find a salad quite filling, it's just not always easy to have all the ingredients in the house at the same time. Dinner is... let me check... Ranch Ham and Pasta and veggies. So yummy - just need to keep the portion size in check.

Left a $100 bill for a $65 meal at a restaurant tonight. Mike looked at me like I'd grown a second head when I told him not to ask for change. But he came around in about 3 seconds. MIL had given us the money for dinner when we didn't do anything to earn/deserve it. We enjoyed it and then passed the enjoyment onto someone else (I assume she was happy about it, we didn't wait around to see her open the folio).

Anyway, I'm babbling. Going to go look at my heart rate data from my run and log my miles.
