Well, I am in a much better frame of mind today than I was yesterday. We had a good workout at the gym yesterday, although my stomach started to hurt pretty bad which ended up cutting my workout short. I tried to go back at it once I emerged from the potty, but the dumb stairmaster I got on wasn't working properly and I just decided to give up for the day rather than fight with another one.

I discovered the reason why the scale regstered a gain this week--the dumb thing is broken. I am going to have to switch scales for my weigh-in on Saturday to the "public" scale out in the middle of the gym where everyone can see it. *Yikes* I've been using the one tucked away in the corner of the ladies locker room. No more....

I can do this!!! It's not like people are actually going to care what I weigh. Maybe some really skinny chick will see what I weigh and it will be a deterrent for her not to get this big! I have gotten more comfortable with entering in my weight on the treadmill and stairmaster in front of strangers, so I can do this.

**It is my life and I don't care about other people's opinion of me.**



Today I am home with my son for the last day of spring break. He wants to go to the mall??? He absolutely hates shopping! ?????? <this is me confused> I guess kids are like that, though....

I'm going to try to spend a lot of time with him today. He's been eating up Scott being with him this week, so I want to do the same! We have some errands to run, but it won't take too long.

Update: Something just happened in my brain. I am bored. I just thought a minute ago, "I wonder what we have in the house to munch on." I am not even remotely close to actually being hungry. Ah Ha! I caught myself wanting to eat out of boredom! Bad me!

Something else I just read on MSN Money was interesting. It seems that women like to spend money on themselves "because everyone else has nice things and I don't" or "I have been working hard, I deserve it" or "I have been sooo good lately" or "It is such a great deal that I can't pass it up" or "I will look better, and feel better about myself, if I have X."

Funny how you can replace the "women like to spend money on themselves" with "women like to eat" and get the same old tired-assed excuses either way, eh?

I think I am going to put this on the forum and see what you all think about this.
