Being fat is hard. Losing weight is hard. Maintaining lost weight is hard. Pick your hard.

Today I picked: Being fat.

Actually, yeah, it was completely my fault from every possible angle. I made the cookie bars last night. I didn't offer for anyone to take some home. I ate too many last night. I ate the rest today. Mike and the kids barely even got any. That's just sad. But they are one of my favorite foods in the world, and every bite was absolutely delicious, so while I feel a little guilty about the not sharing aspect, I don't feel bad at all about eating them.

Other than that though, it was a pretty typical day. Usual breakfast. I made the kids pizza for lunch and I opted to eat it too, rather than make something for myself. I only had two slices though, which is probably a personal record. Or more likely because I was full from the cookies *wink*. No snacking other than an apple in the morning. Made a delicious and healthy stir fry for dinner. Lots of veggies. Had some ice cream with the kids for dessert.

Did my run. I was thinking as I was dishing out my ice cream that by eating the ice cream I was opting out of a workout. It occurred to me how absolutely absurd that conclusion was, and I was a little disturbed by how quickly I jumped to it. Wonder how many times I've sabotaged myself.

Mike's funk continues. He spent the morning doing things for the new job and the afternoon playing a new game and having a pity party. I sure hope he snaps out of it. I'm slightly concerned that he's going to go into the job with a bad attitude with the subconscious (or maybe not so subconscious) plan of making it into another GE so he can quit with my support. But I think that's a pretty far fetched scheme, and he's not the kind of person to hatch a plan like that. We'll just take it as it comes and see what happens.

I taught Spencer how to play checkers today. I let him win, of course. He seemed to really like the game, but he likes games in general. Especially when it's just he and I playing.

Oh and the best news of the day: My prescription that costs between $120 and $130 at all the local pharmacies is only $33 at Costco!!! Even if I wasn't a member, it would still be cheaper to pay membership and the prescription. The three months supply at Costco is only $102! WTF is up with that. And it gets better. I was chatting with the pharmacist and we got onto the topic of our dogs. Turns out that her dog is a chow mix like Monkey and about the same age. Guess what medicine her dog takes? Yep, the same as Monkey. So I asked where she gets it from (cause it's spensive!!) and she gets it too at Costco. Said it's super cheap!! So his next prescription will be from there too lol.

Tomorrow, going to choose losing weight. 6W6P in the morning and maybe the elliptical at night. Usual breakfast. Salad for lunch. Spaghetti with meatballs for dinner. Got a new recipe for sauce, hoping it's as good as it sounds!
