Tomorrow is weigh in day and I dread it because I am going to gain weight this week again. People are telling me to eat more calories and carbs but every time I do I gain weight the next day so I don't know what to do. I don't know if the fact that I have been exercising is affecting my weight at all. I think the weights I have been using on my arms has been helping that saggy skin under my arms to tighten up. I'm still not doing abdomen exercises yet though. I was going to do the Jillian Michaels tape but I need more room to do it so I have to move my workout TV to where our regular TV is so I can have more workout space. I did my 20 minutes of my Kathy Smith DVD and about 5 minutes of my Richard Simmons Dancin with the Oldies DVD. I would have done even more but my daughter and husband came home so I couldn't. I went to the used bookstore and got another Kathy Smith cardio workout DVD and a Slim in 6 DVD which looks great and seems easy for a beginning to start using. I didn't get the exercise band with it though. Tomorrow I will try to get further in my main DVD and do another one also.
We went to see the Tom Cruise movie Knight and Day with Cameron Diaz. It was at the cheap theatre and it was cute. We saw Sex in the City II the other night and I thought it was a little disappointing.
Still no variety in my food yet. Things have been pretty hectic for a few days but maybe tomorrow I can plan something new for Monday or Tuesday. We have church tomorrow and I have my DVD's to do and I also want to go walking tomorrow since I didn't go today. I am trying not to get too frustrated about no diagnosis for my husband. It may be a long drawn out struggle.
I went to the bookstore today. The good news was that I did not spend any money and got about $50 in trade credit. I also got rid of about 40 books (I probably have 1000 in my house).
When I was at the movies tonight I really wanted some popcorn but I settled for a Diet Coke. Not a very satisfying substitute but I was grateful I didn't go off my food plan. I have been tempted to binge lately with all the stress about my husband but I know eating junk won't help anything and I will just have to suffer with cravings afterwards and be disgusted with myself. So I am toughing it out.
