So far, my mood hasn’t affected my eating….too much.  My husband has these creme horns in the kitchen.  For those of you who don’t know, it’s basically a pastry tube filled with creme (like a doughnut).  Normally, it wouldn’t bother me ’cause I really don’t like them.  But, today, I took a bite…so glad I don’t like them….I checked out the nutrition info…..220 calories and 14 grams of fat.  I had an attack of conscience and threw it away.   I heard a voice in my head saying, “NO DO NOT EAT THAT!!!”   Actually, come to think of it, I think it was Wonder Woman……oh no!….she’s in my head…  It was something more like, “I don’t want you to eat that because you will only be disappointed in yourself if you do.  Keep your goals in sight and remember why you are doing this.  I just don’t want one bad decision to lead to another”  So, basically she was chewing me out in a very productive and nice way…..thanks for that WW…..now GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! 

Okay, on a better note.  My hubby has decided he is ready to lose some weight too.  He actually called me from work this morning (he left at 4am) to ask if what he was having for breakfast was okay (it wasn’t but I let it go…better than what he could have chosen) and what he could have for lunch.  It’s frustrating though because it took a friend telling him that he was going to be able to come off of his blood pressure pills after he lost a few more pounds to get my husband in gear.  He asked me if he would be able to come off of his if he lost some weight.  I told him there was a very good chance that he could come off his b/p meds and his cholesterol meds if he lost some weight.  So, he’s all gung ho now.  Makes me mad because he’ll listen to someone who has NO MEDICAL training whatsoever over his wife (a nurse) and his doctor!  We’ve both told him this very thing numerous times!!  I guess the important thing is, he’s ready to do something about it…diet wise at least.  (this would have had a much happier tone to it if I weren’t in such a bad mood…..….more like bragging and praising him for working at it….I’ll get there soon)

So, to all my fellow Jaguars…I’m counting on you to help me out!!  I joined this challenge to get some support and to give some support so let’s all step it up a bit.  Like I said, I’m counting on you guys to help get me through the next few days….I’m working pretty hard to get this FAT off of me but I don’t want to do it alone. 

This week is gonna be a little tough as far as exercise.  I was “off” last week ’cause we were staying with friends and I wasn’t able to exercise.  I plan to do at least 4 miles a day on my Gazelle….more if I can. 

If I can keep my calories down to 1300 and I can burn 1400 calories per day then I can lose the 3 pounds by the end of Friday.  Wow, now that I see that it writing…it doesn’t make much sense does it???  Okay well, as for burning 1400 cals per day….not likely but I can at least get 800 per day.  That will give me a loss of….let’s see….where’s the calculator….okay that’s 2 lbs.  Close enough.  I can lose the other pound while I’m at Disney.  I’m sure that will be pretty easy with all of the walking we’ll be doing.

Anyway, keep me motivated buddies!!  PLEASE!!!!
