Its not the jeans that make me look fat — its the FAT!!!

Calories for 06/10 1935 another good day at work but I had another “mom night”. How to do this without really sounding like an awful child but I have just about run out of the end of my rope here. I know this is nothing like what she is going through but she fought me through this whole treatment about getting some in home help. When she was feeling well she didn’t want to think ahead that she would be bad again and when she was bad she didn’t want to deal with it. So frikken frustrating. Last night as I have done almost every night for the last three weeks I drove home and immediately turned around and got her dinner. She had been on the phone with me before I left work and ranting on again that she should have received some help - for the fifteenth time I told her she refused to allow me to get her any outside help. I just fumed all the way home - she must have sensed it because she was an absolute delight when I got there. I served her dinner - cleaned up the kitchen and then we sat and yakked for about an hour. She is alone and I know she has lots of phone calls but its not the same as human contact.

Anyway - I am going to blame her for my calories for being up and over. Because of the rushing around etc etc I did my best to make good choices but I was starved so I picked up a biscuit while I was buying her dinner - I wouldn’t have made it to 7 (when I finally get home) if I didn’t have something to eat. So that added about 250 calories to my day. Didn’t get much of a workout in — but at least with the Wii I can do the fitness test and that only takes about 10 - 15 minutes. I maybe don’t break a sweat but I do get out of breath - so any exercise is better than none.
