I have to write more.  It really helps and it also helps to read others blogs - it gives me encouragement just knowing that others are out there going thru the same thing.

Did NOT do well this weekend.  We went to college orientation with daughter.  Meals were included in the price so we ate “not so good” stuff and then (of course) every meal had dessert.  Really yummy desserts.  I never eat that many sweets!!  It was good but I’m paying for it!!!!

Oh well, back to being good!

We didn’t go to church - I didn’t set the alarm.  Our preacher is going to be out the next couple of weeks so we are having subs - which are not always the most exciting.  I know, I shouldn’t be like that but …

Breakfast:  lean pocket breakfast - 3 pts.

Lunch:  lean cuisine - 6 pts.

already went to the rec center - 10 mins treadmill and 40 mins bike

OK I weighed yesterday and liked the number so what did I do???   Hubby works half days on Fridays so we went for pizza for lunch and then last night I went out with friends for Mexican food.  I was not very hungry at dinner since I ate a big lunch so I didn’t eat a lot of mexican food but still.  Oh well, Hub went out of the country today and we always eat mexican before and after an “out of the country” trip.  Those English chaps try to make mexican but ….. So we ate it again today before he went to the airport.  Did you get all that - 1 pizza, 2 mexican.  But he will be gone til Thursday and I really do eat well when he is not here.  I just pull out lean cuisine or soup or something easy.

SAVING GRACE - we went on a 30 mile bike ride this morn.  It was windy so riding against the wind was hard.  I wasn’t real happy and I yelled (at no one really) a few times.  Of course Hubby thinks I’m yelling at him and gets upset.  I just sorta roar at the circumstance.  I thought I was ok with him leaving today but I guess I was a little upset.  I mean he travels a lot for work and (weird) once he is gone - I’m ok.  It’s just getting everything ready - washed, packed - that makes me really anxious.  ANYWAY - the bike ride today is 4 days working out this week so I just have to work out tomorrow to get my normal 5 days.  Yeah!!!  My week is from Mon - Sun.

Tonight I will probably have either a frozen dinner or maybe a bowl of black bean soup.  Something with low points!!!!

I thought I had gained weight. I have been riding my bike and working out like a mad woman but I was eating more too. I really thought I was above 140. I got up my nerve and weighed this morn. I HATE WEIGHTING because I can be happy in then fall into a very bad day just by seeing a yucky number on the scale - you know. Well, I weighed and it was 139.8. YEA! OMG! I’m still under 140. No by much - but hey! I just want to get below 135 - it that too much to ask???? I would just be so happy!

I’m crazy I know. Like I said earlier - I’ve been working out 5 times a week for at least 1 hour and on days we go riding road bikes, it is about 2 hours (30 miles at a time). My hubby (love him!) says that my butt and legs are really looking smaller. Why do I have to be at a certain number? I don’t know - maybe it’s because - I”M A GIRL!!! I think it is in our blood.

So, I’m really really really going to try to write every day or so. I can do this!

I will be weighing every morning until I get back within my bouncing area.

It’s a good thing I’m really not an emotional eater.  I will eat but I’m not driven to do it when things get bad.  I usually do a lot of just laying around and sleeping when I get depressed.  GOOD THING!!  My kids are having episodes that could send an emotional eater into a buffet FOR THE DAY!  I have one 17 year old (18 next month) and one 13 year old.  They are normally really good kids - but from time to time they can make really bad choices.  They both picked Thursday of this week to go crazy!!!  I could have freaked - drank - ate - wigged out!!!  But I prayed, prayed, prayed.  God is so faithful and I was OK.  I really think we handled both incidents well.  YEAH!

B - oatmeal

L- out with hubby - will try to eat something healthy

Should I join WW for this much weight?  I really do well when I know I have to weigh in front of someone.  I am 5′3″.  About 10 years ago I stayed at 130 for a couple of years but then I got up to about 15o - one of those things that you dont realize how chubby you are until you lose weight and feel so much better.  I lost weight this last summer - down to 135 - and (like I said)  got into smaller clothes and really felt good about the way I looked in them.  THE BEST PART was that my hubby was working in London for 10 weeks and that is when I lost the 15 lbs.  SO when I went over to see him (went over and spent a week with him and then we came back home together).  He was very excited to see me after that long and the new body was almost too much for him.  HA HA HA HA!  I LOVED it!  I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world!!!  Losing this last 5-8 lbs would be the cherry on the top!

Should I weigh everyday?  I get emotional about weighing.  But If I weighed everyday - I would be more careful of what I ate.

The thing is - I workout at least 5 times a week.  I have really bumped it up this year.  I have a notebook in my gym bag and I write down when I workout and what I did at the gym.  I worked out 19 days in April ‘07 - tomorrow I will work out so I will have worked out 19 days this month (April)  also but April this year(if I workout for 50 mins tomorrow) I will have worked out 100 mins more than I did last April.  Yea me!  Did that make any sense?

AND THIS HAS BEEN - TERRI’S RAMBLINGS OF THE DAY!

I will think about weighing in the morning.  Ill let you know how that goes.

OK, I’ve done very good today though.  BUT I’m gonna eat a left over hamburger (no french fries).  My “time” is supposed to start tomorrow and I’m really craving SALT SALT SALT!

I’m so tired of starting over and over and over.  I just want to get below 135!  This means losing about 5 lbs. or maybe 8.  I want to do this before my 44th B-day on June 3.  I CAN DO THIS  I CAN DO THIS  I CAN DO THIS!
