July 1st!

I haven't weighed in this week. I have been a little out of sorts with everything going on in my life. I have daycare problems, husband problems, financial problems, car problems...basically you name it, I have that problem. So I haven't been able to follow my diet as closely as I would like. There have been days where I have barely eaten 500 calories ALL DAY because I have been so stressed out. I haven't pigged out or anything, quite the opposite. I stopped eating for a few days and that is just as bad as pigging out.

So I put off weighing in until next week. However I want to share some successes with you.

Yesterday at work was the last day for several co-workers. Several cakes were brought in and these weren't just any ordinary cakes. They were fancy schmancy yummy looking cakes. People FLOCKED to them to get a slice. In fact, people from other departments were coming over to get a piece. BUT NOT ME! I stayed clear of the cake ALL DAY. I munched on some fresh strawberries that someone has brought in also. I was so proud of myself.

I also walk almost every single night. In fact, I look forward to it. I found this little hidden park that is by my house and I take my son out in his stroller every night. Now we head to the park. They have play structures that are perfect for him and because it is sort of hidden there rarely is anyone there. We both win...I get to exercise and he gets to play..and more often than not as we walk home he falls asleep and is out for the night.

So no weight update to report, but I do want to give a little praise to a friend of mine. I think she follows my blog. This person and I share a first name and we have known each other since Jr. High. She is also embarking on a weight loss journey and she recently hit a huge milestone, she is now under 200 lbs. I am so proud of her. I know it is not easy. So HL...a big congratualtions to you!
