Yesterday was an odd day. I woke up really early with a sore back. I hadn't slept well and had no appetite for breakfast. I started the morning with coffee and once I got nice and caffeinated I started cleaning. Lunch time passed and was forgotten. I was so immersed in cleaning that I didn't even think to stop to eat something. By the time dinner time rolled around I was famished and ate way too much pasta and a greasy (but delicious!) pork chop. All in all, I should have planned better and not eaten all my calories in one meal. Live and learn eh?
Tomorrow is my husband's 32nd birthday. I get to go gift shopping for him this afternoon so I'm sure I'll get plenty of exercise while I traipse through store after store looking for the perfect items. He always get so weird about his birthday. Not like he's scared or angry that he's getting older, but...I don't know...anxious about gifts. He never wants anyone to get him anything (with the exception of me...he doesn't mind gifts from me, but only because he knows I'll get them anyways!) but he doesn't like people doting on him. He told me last night that he hopes my parents forget it's his birthday. He also doesn't want a surprise lunch or dinner sprung on him like it was on me. I understand that; who wants to be stuck somewhere they don't want to be?
It'll all go okay though. I'm hoping once these vacations and three day weekends are over I can get my shit together and really start focusing on losing. This 'eat good for a few days, blow it for a few days' crap has got to stop. I think the only thing I'm succeeding in doing is throwing my body out of whack.
Oh, I almost forgot! My mother in law called yesterday to let me know that the surgery is a go and that she's planning on putting her ward in a home for five days so she can have the surgery and have a few days to recover. This works out for everyone because she gets a few days extra break with just her husband around and I don't have to put anyone before anyone else. Now I just hope that nothing gets in the way of her getting surgery. There always seems to be something. She's been up a few times for surgery and it's fallen through for various reasons.
I hope everyone has a great weekend; enjoy that extra day if you get it off!

Now see there? Everything works out like it's suppose to!!lolol...Happy weekend sweetie!!
I am in the same cycle as you these days...good ones, bad ones. I'm generally not a big breakfast eater, but when I do, I don't eat breakfast food.
For now, it's good that you're seeing the things that aren't working for you. This is a process, and a long one at that. It's been 5 months for me, and I'm still trying to figure things out.
Trust me, I'm here for the long haul! LOL!
You know I just read somewhere today that you shouldn't have caffeine on an empty stomach because it works against your metabolism. Sorry! I hate to be the barer of bad news. LOL.
I hope everything works out with your MIL and that your husband enjoys his birthday. Can't wait to hear what you get him.
Hey, btw, I don't mind your stories/examples in my comments... they make for very interesting reading. :-)
