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

So was going to take one day “off” sort of. We had a family dinner - buffet style but still able to make decent choices. My future mother-in-law is the type to shove food at you and I am constantly fighting with her about it. All the women in my sweeties family are maybe size 8 at the most (his sister is a 5′10″ size 0). We decided to get more exercise in by parking 2 miles away from the club and walking to dinner and back. It was a glorious afternoon and evening and it was a lovely lovely walk - -follows the beach all the way only interupted by the gorgeous multi million dollar homes - I love looking at the homes and the landscaping etc etc.

When we got back to the car I checked my phone and sure enough of all the days my mom decided that was the night she wanted to go to the hospital (I have been asking her every day if I could take her to get checked out). I called her house and my brother answered - they were just loading her in the ambulance when I called (about 8pm) - we drove straight there and waited until the doctor saw her and said they would be keeping her over night at the very least. I stayed with her until after midnight and was back at 8am. Thank goodness I live 2 minutes from the hospital so I booked the day off work and spent the rest of the day going back and forth — getting her stuff she needs and ensuring she is comfortable.

This morning we got in the car to go to work and I realized I hadn’t brought my little PDA calorie counter. It dismayed me to realize I hadn’t input anything since Saturday night - I know I made decent choices yesterday and as my sweetie said - just take some time today write it all down - input it tonight and move forward again. I just hate that I got to 17 days of doing everything right and then have to start again. I was only going to use Sunday as a cheat day - yesterday was definitely not a cheat day but until I am where I am to be completely confident with my eating and exercise I am going to depend on my PDA and my darling Wii to keep track of me.
