So, today I made it to my second Jazzercise of the week. (No sweat on the floor tonight but I was ringing wet after and I was standing under a fan so I'm chalking it up to that.) My meals got kinda out of sync as I actually ate breakfast so was not hungry for lunch and then starving after work. But I just gritted my teeth and drank my protein shake and went to workout. Snaps up for that!
Tonight I'm making another salad for dinner. I like my hubs working late as I can eat what I want and its very freeing not to have him around at mealtime. In some ways he's just as fucked about food as I am but the other way, he's one of those folks who honest to god forgets to eat. It's just so frustrating to hear him say at 5 o'clock "Man, I'm hungry, I haven't eaten all day..." and then he gets going on a game or project and finally eats about 9pm. Fucker. I so wanna be like him in regards to food. He also looses his appetite when he gets stressed or upset. WTF?!?! I binge when stressed or upset. I guess we are a perfect pair. Anyway, sorry for the husband tangent. What I'm really trying to say is that ever since his lecture about the ice cream a few weeks ago I have felt weird eating around him. I eat my meals alone in the kitchen so he doesn't see what or how much I eat. It may be wrong, but it's just easier for me to deal with it this way.
Anyway, back to the good stuff! I also refused dinner at Olive Garden with my mom tonight. She is in town for meetings and called as she and her co-worker were on the way to the restaurant. Thank god I worked out as I was sweaty and gross and on my way home (which is on the other side of town from O.G.) so I used that to beg off. Plus meals out are not in the budget, but I didn't have to use that excuse. I thought about going for a split second and "just having salad" but we all know how that would have turned out. I would have caved and ordered pasta and binged or been good and then been pissed watching them eat the yummy food and come home and binged. Possible outcomes of entering restaurant? Fail or fail. So I feel good that I just said "NO" (like Ms. Reagan taught us in the 80s--har, har) and came on home.
Tomorrow I may try Auden's suggestion (sorry, I don't know how to add links but check her blog out as I am a follower) and fast for just a day. I'm gonna be in the car for 5 hours and will not be doing any strenuous exercise so it seems a good time to try. I might have to eat breakfast though, we will see.

Good day
I've got some good stuff to report today! Weighed in at 151 so yesterday's high weight was just a blip. Yay!
Also, went to Jazzercise and worked out so hard there were 2 sweat drips on the floor where I was standing. I luv, luv, luv a good hard sweat! There is a song we do in class where we are punching, kicking, and hopping to fast-paced, thumping music. It makes me feel like a friggin' Amazon! Or whatever the 5'2" equivalent to an Amazon is as I am a shorty--for real ya'll!
Also, tasty salads for lunch and dinner today! Plus I am gonna try a new healthy recipe soon.
One sad thing...My fav pair of designer jeans (ok, the only pair I have owned--ever!and only because I found them at a re-diculously low price) have to be put down as they have a hole that can't be fixed. They are wearing out on the inside seam of the thigh as my super-massive, manga-super girl, huge, speed skater thighs rub and have worn them the fuck out. BAAHHHH!!! I hate you thighs! And I know you will always be with me as even when I was an anorexic high-school freshman who weighed 105lbs and was a size 3, my thighs were still huge in relation to the rest of me. Basically, no matter what size I am, my thighs measure about 5 inches smaller than my waist. Try finding pants to fit that. As I told the lady fitting my wedding dress, my waist is a size 8, hips are a 10, and thighs are a 12. If I ever come across a spare $20,000 I am having thigh lipo and skin removal.
Sorry for the rant, it's been a good day besides the jeans issue. If anyone has any ideas on finding jeans for "super-thighs" please let me know.

It's a beautiful day......
...cue Bono belting it out while wearing those glasses with colored lenses...
No really, it is beautiful here in T-town today. Sunshine and 60 degrees. Time for sunglasses and jackets, baby. I'm fighting the urge to take my wool coat to the cleaners since it is supposed to snow in 2 days. (Yeah, bummer.) I was riding around in the car with the sunroof open this afternoon. Hallelujah!
Took the dog on a nice long walk mid-morning. It was so great. I think that is one of the things I dread most about becoming employed full time, missing the 9 or 10 am perambles with the doggit. I guess I could look for an afternoon/evening gig. Not sure how that will work out with cutting into the hanging-out-with-the-husband-time, but I guess we will just see (1) if I get a job (2) what the hours are, and (3) if we are sick of each other by then.
I'm feeling better today. My cold is finally lessening and I am returning to the land of the living. I actually did some dishes and laundry. And I finally received payment for my first 3 weeks of tutoring. Yay for $$$!! (Can I go shopping now?)
I've relaxed quite a bit on the eating, but I'm not feeling too stressed about it at the moment. The cold has left me with less appetite than normal. (Of course, my normal state is constantly ravenous.) My weight has dropped a bit, and I plan to get back to exercise class tomorrow. (Gotta try out the new shoes that came last week.)
I'm thinking that I will give myself next week to get back in the exercise routine and then the first week of April I'll kick it in the pants with the diet.
Sorry for the boring, rambling nature of this post. Between the cold meds (pseudoephedreine, I heart you so much right now) and the nice day I'm feeling quite mellow. Don't worry, the angst will be back in a day or two like the alley cat that always craps in your convertible when you leave the top down.
