Monday, March 15, 2010 (Day 51)

It’s been a while!  Work has been super busy.  That’s a good thing and a bad thing.  I ate far less calories each day last week than I should have.  This weekend I decided to make up for it.  Saturday I ate about 4 servings of lasagna.  Then I followed it up with peanut butter M&M’s.  Sunday I ate chips and salsa for lunch.  Then four pancakes for dinner with boysenberry syrup.  With butter, of course.  Then I didn’t want the garlic mashed potatoes in the fridge to go to waste so I fried them in butter to make potato pancakes.  Ate four of them also, with ketchup.  Did I mention they were fried in butter?  Oh yeah, and I enjoyed a couple of Ray’s sodas over the weekend also.  And I also followed my chips and salsa up with peanut butter M&M’s.  I was so sick last night.  And again this morning.  I’ve pooped out a good bit of it this morning, but man I feel like crap.  And I’m very bloated.  Why do I do this?!?  I weighed in at 200 Sunday morning, so I’m thrilled. I was hoping after limiting calories so much last week that it would be less, but whatever.  It shouldn’t be less.  I need to control myself better and get my 1200 calories each day.  I didn’t exercise all weekend.  But I did spend Saturday digging up bushes and crab grass.  I think that counts – I was completely sweaty and tired.  But no excuse for Sunday.  This morning was a no go because daylight savings clock changed yesterday, we lost an hour, and I didn’t go to sleep until 1:00 this morning.  Tonight I’ll be on the treadmill.  I look forward to getting back on track this week and feeling better!
