When I finished up my day yesterday, I found that I was almost 300 calories below target. Not good, but I had brushed my teeth and was ready for bed so I wasn't going to go eat more. I think the heat just got to me. I try to be keep my calorie count pretty low during the day so I can have a decent dinner and a few extra calories just in case, but I do try to hit my target. But I also think it would be better if I spread the calories out more during the day. I do try, but sometimes I just can't pack enough food for the day. I get my lunch salad, a few fruits and maybe a cottage cheese or yogurt. I like to make hard boiled eggs and bring them or even some shrimp, but I just haven't gotten to it this week.

I have my husbands family coming in for the weekend for a family reunion. Not many are coming, but I am nervous as hell about it for some reason. My house really isn't up to snuff and doesn't have air conditioning and there is a big spot on the hallway rug that just appeared out of nowhere. (The dog had an accident there a while ago and I cleaned it very carefully, but suddenly it has reappeared.) My sister in law and husband have to stay in the basement room and it is humid and musty. My husband would be happy living in a cave and never be embarrassed about it! He does pick up and do dishes and laundry, but he doesn't really care about dust and dirt.

Oh well, I need to concentrate on sticking to my food plan. I am worried I will not be able to stick to my 3-4 alcoholic drinks. After the weekend we are going to WI dells for a few days so the partying will continue!!!! Argh. It is so hard!
