Well, back to the real world. I spent the weekend cooking, shopping, reading, sitting on the porch admiring the lake, and listening to my husband excitedly recount his fishing tales to me. It was in the upper 20s and extrememly windy, and Brent, being the hard core fisherman that he is, was out on the lake. I swear I don't know how that boy doesn't catch pneumonia - I guess his poor ole body is just used to that kind of abuse LOL. He has really been on me to come out with him and catch a fish (I have no clue why - he wants a picture of me with a fish-men!) but I told him he will have to be patient and wait until it is warm enough that I am not in danger of losing fingers or toes to frostbite.
Well, as for the diet, I have lost seven pounds, but have blown it a couple of times, mainly on the weekends. Like last night, we went out to dinner and I HAD to have a loaded baked potato. I don't know why sometimes I have such willpower and sometimes I just lose all self- control. So, this morning, I psyche myself up to be good all week. I go in the kitchen and heat up my little weight watchers frozen dinner of hamburger steak and asparagus, and a coworker comes in with a HUGE thing of homemade fettucine alfredo - I am talking heavy cream, butter, parmesan cheese, garlic. Oh my. That one was tough - I took my little frozen dinner and walked away - I am SO proud of myself!
Oh well, back to work for now.

I am so proud of you too!! I would of never made it since that is one of very favorites!! Your a better woman than me! Lelly
I'm proud of you too. I think I would have failed that test. And I never liked fish well enough to sit for hours waiting for something to bite all the while freezing or burning up. I'd rather go to the fresh market and buy it. A lot less trouble and faster in the long run. I just don't get it.

The good thing is that after binging, you are able to get back on your plan. We all "splurge" a bit, but we know we did, re-examine, and plow ahead with new determination. I believe that you cannot be 100% totally "good"...a treat every once in a while doesn't hurt, and it doesn't have to be a whole treat, sometimes just a taste will satisfy your craving. I am proud that you walked away from the pasta. Sometimes at work, someone will bring in donuts and/or pastries...I will myself to wait, and wait, and wait...eventually, the goodies are eaten...by other people, and not me!! Take care...

Life as a fishwife ain't it glamorous! I remember the first time I finally let Jim talk me into going ice fishing, he was soooo happy to have me sitting by his side on an upside down 5 gallon bucket that all the other annoying little things I did that weekend didn't bother him........well maybe just a little! lol Thanks for the inspiration of a new entry for me! heheheheeee!
Godd job walking away from the fettucine! I love pasta and would have had a hard time! Keep it up!!
