Yesterday was a rough day for me. For whatever reason I woke up in a bad mood, and couldn't shake it until the evening. Almost got into a accident on my way to work, was in meetings all day and they had a taco bar catered for lunch. I did okay considering, but indulged a bit too much. Hoping today goes better, I feel surprisingly good considering the splurge.

I was thinking about you and your low carb dessert goal yesterday. I made chocolate whipped cream (cup of whipping cream, 2 TBLS unsweetened cocoa, 1-2 spoon sweetner, a bit of sea salt, whip with a mixer). It was super-simple and absolutely delicious, maybe it's something you can try if you're a fan of chocolate?

Here's a recap of my October Goals:

1. up to 40 gms of carbs per day
2. 12,000 steps/day
3. Minimum 80 oz of water each and every day
4. More consistent with exercise especially weight lifting this month!

SW: 163
GW: 158

I weight in tomorrow but I'm hovering around 161'ish so it's working I've also been so much more consistent getting 12,000 steps most days!!

Thursday - 4 pumpkins
Friday - 4 pumpkins
Saturday - 3 pumpkins
Sunday - 4 pumpkins
Monday - 4 pumpkins
Tuesday - 4 pumpkins + one bonus pumpkin
Wednesday - 4 pumpkins

Total this week: 28 out of 28 and I did much better last weekend. Just didn't get all my steps in, even though we were outside cleaning up the yard for winter!

I love how this exercise is really forcing me to analyze my week. I definitely don't get as much steps in on the weekend than during the week at work.

I have to just grit my teeth in silence and breathe and move on. I end up chewing gum frequently when he brings crap home or makes something he knows makes me crave. I don't say anything. I just chew my gum and stay out of the kitchen.

We have an agreement, he gets to have his late night huge bowl of ice cream after the kids go to bed, I get to go take a long, hot bath and NOT feel guilty about it!

Mmmmokay,

1. Next week lunches planned.
2. However, I futzed up and forgot my lunch for today and had to resort to running to the grocery store this morning and buying a bowl of olives/feta for lunch. Grrrr.
2. Didn't eat out. Planning a night out tonight though.
3. Not a work weekend. Yey.
