I'm having a much better day today. Hubby came home happy last night after just a couple of hours at his friends house. I'm so glad I am married to that man.....he's the BEST! I would have eaten a box of chocolate chip cookies after he left, if we had them....I'm glad we didn't. I only had a small bowl of wheaties with a little sugar. I didn't even go over my calories. I'm so proud of myself, and of my hubby for his control, too. I know I am an emotional eater, but never knew how to control it. I guess the best thing is to only have healthy stuff in the house, so when tempers flare and emotions run high, all I have to run to is a kitchen full of unsweetened cereal, low-fat milk, and a banana. CK is really working for me.

I think I will change my weigh-in day. The weekends always get me off track. I think that is what weekends were made for anyway.....to take a break from the routine. I weighed myself today and it says I lost another lb, but I don't want to record it yet, I think I will change my weigh-in to Friday and do as good as possible until then and hope for more lost by then.

I can't believe how well this is working for me. I feel like I am eating plenty of food and I am staying within my reccommended calorie intake. I lowered it a little because it wasn't even a challenge to stay below 1730 cal. so I lowered it to 1650 which still seems like a lot for someone who is trying to lose weight. Before CK, I thought I was supposed to eat 1450 cal to get down to 145 lbs. That was a little difficult for me. 1650 will be perfect.

Well, I need to go finish playing teacher. (I'm homeschooling Bear, he is about to finish 9th grade and take college classes in Jan. I am so proud!)

I hope everyone else can see how wonderful the world is today. Smile if you know what I mean. We're the lucky ones.
