So, I had a better week than I thought! I was happy to see the 2.2 loss. It was a hard week. I really had to fight the urge to binge more than I did in the weeks prior. I am proud of myself because I have been making changes that are sustainable. At my weight loss group they really try to push cutting carbs and all sugars, etc. but, that is just not manageable for me or sustainable. I let protein lead me and I try to eat foods that make me feel good which usually are low carb, but when we decide to have burgers and onion rings from the place across the street I just plan it in.  Then, I eat with dignity. 

And I don’t beat myself up about it. Instead, I plan my day around it. And weirdly, I usually eat only half the bun, and a few of my onion rings and I feel satisfied. 

That has never. Ever. Ever happened. But lately, it has, and I love the feeling. 

I started a night time skin regime today. My sister in law sells Mary Kay so I bought the Time Wise line. I am terrible about taking care of my skin. But lately I’ve been looking old, and I know that washing my makeup off and moisturizing won’t hurt! I will keep you posted. 

Henry is feeling better, but now my mom is sick! Ugh! We can’t win with this sickness. 

Well, I am off to chill out and eat my evening treats. I get more than tea tonight because somehow I ended the day with a lot of extra calories! 

  
I never get this much and actually don’t like to make a habit of it. But tonight I treat myself! (And stay in calories.) (That is 3 Trader Joe’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups and a chocolate chip cookie dough quest bar and my sugar cookie tea, and my stylus to play the game I am addicted to!)
Xozoxo,
