Countdown to the Weigh-in!!!
Well, it was a hard weekend...I had to have those butter cookies, and then ate them all in two days. Better to do that than to have them sit around for a week. So I got rid of them.......into my stomach. But surprisingly, the scale moved a notch---DOWN---by Monday morning. Phew!!! Saved by the scale!! I have found that if I do not have the temptations in the pantry, that I won't be craving them. So no more cookies--unless I can buy a single serve pack and not a crumb more. Those Wheat Thins crackers sound healthy--but not when you want to eat them all.....
I cleaned out the freezer, refrigerator and pantry today. I removed all the food, threw some away, gave some to my son, wiped all the shelves and side walls of both compartments, and refilled with what I had left over. Up and down, and up and down......bend over, reach up. Vacuum and mop the floor.....think I got enough exercise? Maybe I will complete my workout with a few crunches, leg lifts and toe touches. Still have to finish laundry, clean the bathrooms, and my bedroom. This is all a prelude to my going to Maryland on Saturday for ten days. I hate to leave a messy or untidy house. I am keeping my food supplies low, finishing out the week, so I do not have any spoiled food when I get back.
Oh, I am a very bad stress/emotional eater, and with my daughter leaving with the National Guard on Friday, I am very stressed. So I do have to keep myself busy so as not to console myself with FOOD!!!! Well at least she is not going to Iraq. Just to the US/Mexican border in Arizona, to protect our country from all the illegal immigrants and Drug Runners trying to infiltrate our land. Actually,that could be just as dangerous as the warzone in Iraq.
Prayers Welcome...............
See you at the weigh-in tomorrow!!
