Fun but bad day
Apr 5, 2010

Well, today was a holiday here in France. They get the day following Easter off rather than good Friday here, so we were planning a nice quiet day at home. But the weather was gorgeous so we went out in front of the house to play, and met up with one of our neighbors who is single with a little boy a couple of months older than our little guy, who in turned invited us over to lunch. He cooks great, but he cooks fatty foods. I hate to be rude, so I always end up eating whatever he serves, in as small of portions as I can get away with, but sometimes, like today it doesn't help. My husband and I eat so much natural stuff, no sauces, little butter, etc on our food that when we eat fatty food that he makes our stomachs almost turn inside out from the shock! LOL We're recovering tonight, but I'm thinking they may be some bad repercussions in the scale this week, which makes me quite sad. It really wasn't worth the set back in food, but the visit was fun as always. Anyway, I hope everyone else had a great Easter!

Here's my kiddos in their new Easter gifts from Grandma and Grandpa :)

Wishing everyone a very happy Easter holiday!

Well, we're getting ready for Easter around here. In fact the easter bunny has already been to visit :) My girls were very concerned tonight that we leave the door unlocked so that he could get in LOL Such cuties!

So anyway, last week ended up better than I expected with a nearly 5 pound loss for the week. This week is going pretty well. I know that my weight fluctuates from day to day and I would probably be better off to switch to weighing less often, but if I do, I lose my momentum, so I will continue to weight in everyday and deal with what may come :)

So keep up the good fight everyone! And stay away from the Easter candy no matter how big the temptation to snitch a piece or two from the kids :) That mostly a pep talk to myself LOL :)

2 biking sessions
Mar 30, 2010

Well, I didn't do as well as I should have today, but I am feeling quite bummed with my weight. I know I shouldn't be because I am down 2 lbs from last Thursday, but I was down 4 and put back on 2 for unknown reasons. I hadn't cheated a single bit, and exercised a bit everyday except Sunday, so I feel like I could be eating whatever I want and doing the same darned thing! So today I indulged in a few too many yummies. Most were healthy, a bit of banana, some strawberries, but also some cookies, a handful of m & m's, and 2 bites of pizza. It's not much, but it's still likely to set me back yet again tomorrow.

On the positive side though, I got in 2 biking sessions of 30 minutes each. Here's to a better day tomorrow though! Keep up the good fight everyone!
