TODAY:  113 lbs, 550 Calories burned

Thank you all for your support as I dealt with the cake anxiety.  Trying to have your cake and eat it too is exhausting!  I've been battling back.  From outrageously high calorie counts and higher numbers then I've seen in a while on the scale.  Oh, boy that cake threw a monkey wrench into my routine.  It's done wonders for my motivation to hit the gym.  I've gone five days in a row just to try to undo the damage.  That is major for a not really into the gym kind of person such as myself.  But, I am doing what I have to do right now and have already made some progress.  I can live with 113.  I cannot live with 115.4 which is still below my high range of 116 but still. It's just a little too close for comfort.

My B Day weekend was fantabulous. I spent a great day downtown with my sweet husband enjoying the sunshine.  My family came down on Saturday.  We went to Souplantation for dinner.  Then home for the delightfully dreadful cake.  I had a great time hanging out with them.  Mom got me a pretty silver ring and big sis got me a cute top.  I'm planning to exchange it and use some of the credit towards some skinny jeans that fit at Old Navy.  Theirs are pretty cheap.  I used my Express gift card on Sunday and bought a beautiful off white sweater and some cute tops.  My how $100 disappears fast.  We ate Chinese food for dinner.  I did not fight it.  I ate dinner of chicken/beef & broccoli and rice then I had another piece of cake.  Sigh.  My boobs feel huge again.  I don't know if that is just mental or if it's all the fat from that cake.  Last night when I came home from the gym I didn't eat dinner and went straight for the cake.  Thank goodness he didn't say anything about it.  My stomach was noticeably growling when we went to bed.  Today for dinner is chicken breast and salad.   I was trying to get in the cake eating on the gym days to get it gone 'cause I hate to eat it and not work out but to be honest if I don't eat another piece I'll be OK.  I've eaten it for 4 days in a row so far.  I need a break!  I don't want hubby to feel like I'm wasting it or appear ungrateful but I don't want anymore.  I just want to get back on track.  Cutting the cake into pieces about the width of the chocolate peanut butter cups on the edge that is 21 pieces making it 639 a slice.  Way better then the original 800 or so I thought it would be but still quite horrible.

639 cals per tiny slice!  Try fitting that into your calorie budget.

I got off work early today to be home for our closet make over.  I let the guy in then was able to go to the gym and get that in early which was nice.  The crown molding and painting cost us $1750 and this closet is costing us $2455.   They both look awesome though.  I can't wait to put our stuff into the closet.  We got $5859 back in taxes so that's what our money went to and what's left is going into the bank.  May is hubby and my big sis B day and Mom's day.  I also have car registration due and we have our SF trip planned too.  Thank god I got a freakin' tenant so I'll be getting some rent money this month.   I only need a few things clothing wise to feel like my wardrobe is complete.  There is a bunch of winter stuff I didn't get to but that will wait until next time that season rolls around.  So, aside from the cake I'm also trying not to stress over money. I think I'm doing way better then I have in the past in that department.
