Better and Worse at the Same Time

I worked out three days in a row... which hasn't happened for a while now. Friday I went to Pump (making it twice in one week) and did 40 minutes of cardio. Saturday morning, Don and I went for a walk/jog outside for an hour. This was difficult because most of it was one big hill and I could NOT jog up the hill. I thought I would die. Then on Sunday, I went back to the gym and did 30 minutes of cardio, which I figured was better than nothing, which was my original plan. I didn't feel I had eaten too horribly this past week... I did eat out a couple times, but had eaten light at every other meal those days, but yesterday was a doozy. I hate having to attend two family celebrations in one day. I ate a lot of dessert... I think more than any other kind of food... I don't know if it was eating out or all that dessert, but I was up 3 pounds this morning. This was very depressing. Just when I feel like I'm making some progress, I fall back. I'm very frustrated with myself and I have been very hard on myself the past few days (especially when I couldn't jog up the hill). I need to get things together before May, which is turning out to be the busiest month of my entire life. In one week alone I will have 2 graduation parties, two birthdays (one is a milestone birthday of 90!), one concert, one wedding, and Memorial Day (which I will at least have off). In the month of May I will also have Mother's Day, engagement pictures, a tasting for the food for the wedding, and another birthday (you know who you are, if you still read this!). I stress eat a lot and need to get it UNDER CONTROL.

I also just got contacts today and I feel a little dizzy trying to get used to them... and I need a new pair of sunglasses without a prescription because I'm about to drive to the gym (for Pump again) and the sun is finally shining!

I hear ya on the scale issues. I felt so angry and disappointed in myself this morning when the scale was back up two pounds. And this time I am to blame, because I ate like crap this weekend. I understand feeling like your life is not under-control... and that effects every other thing going on in the world! Just hang in there! Call me sometime if you are feeling like you're going to eat junk food. Although I can't help you get through the massive amounts of celebrations it appears you have in the next several weeks. Good luck to you though! And know that I am thinking about you.

I hope you are referencing my birthday! And yes, I do read your blog - you just don't harass me about commenting like Karrie does. I can see that I will need to plan my birthday party early so you will be able to make it. Better start working on that.

Yes Jennifer please do pick a date. I am hoping to have a garage sale sometime in May/June and I am tentatively thinking about your birthday weekend (friday the 15th, saturday the 16th). Unless you are having your party on the 15th. When will you decide? That is less than a month away.
