Carb Overload!!

Yesterday I did good all day. I had subway for lunch with a friend and that by itself would have been ok. But that friend gave me some homemade pesto (Mmmmm - Thanks Sandra!!) which I had for dinner with ravioli, which still would have been OK, until I found the Texas Toast in the freezer that I decided to have with it. I had 3 pieces!! The fact that I didn't need it to begin with is bad enough, the fact that it doesn't add anything in the way of nutrition is bad enough, but the extra 450 calories that put me over - that was the worst. It's my time of the month, so maybe that's what had me craving carbs, but that's no excuse.

I woke up today feeling pretty lethargic, so I filled my lunch with fruits & vegtable (yep - just one) hoping to get back on the straight and narrow. I think I only had an apple yesterday. Today I have packed spinach, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, an apple, lean meats and whole grains.

Yesterday was Jacob's (to hell with the code name!) kindergarten registration. It was less of a big deal than I thought, just filling out more papers. But it caused me to miss water aerobics. :( Then when we got home we really didn't have time to walk because Hell's Kitchen was on and we needed to see last week's episode as well as this weeks. Ok, cut the crap, I didn't make exercise a priority (no, I was too busy eating garlic bread!). Today won't be any better. I work from 7:30 - 6:30 and then I am going straight to Bunko. I got my PUSH video in the mail. They recommend for the 1st 2 weeks that you do the video twice and get in 100 minutes of cardio. That doesn't seem too unreasonable. I'm excited to see what's on the video.

So tonight is Bunko, yet another speedbump for me. You are on your own for dinner, so I packed a sandwich (turkey, lowfat cheese, spinach and mayo on Whole Wheat) and an apple to eat on the way from work to bunko. But she will have munchies on the table and dessert. My plan is to be full (a.k.a. healthy dinner) and stay away from the munchies and if she serves something I LOVE for dessert, just have a small portion. Bunko happens once a month, I need to learn to deal with it.

ACHES & PAINS
I am going to start this new section when I blog to help me realize just how many aches & pains I do have. I am hoping that someday I will happily report that I feel like a million bucks. That will be a great day! Today I feel lethargic. It was a chore just to get ready this morning and do what I needed to do. My legs feel ok, but now I have a pain in my right hand side. It's come and gone for 2 days now. It really does seem like if it's not one thing it's another. Kidney stone, then as soon as that passed, severe leg cramps, now that those are somewhat better (not gone), the pain in my side. I know this isn't all weight related, but I think a lot of it is. My chest is so large now that it really weighs heavy and puts on a lot of pressure. It bothers me daily.
