For some reason my alarm did not go off. Or I slept through it. Not sure...I checked and it is set right. I must have slept through it is all I can think. So my plans to head to the Y for some indoor biking did not pan out.

Did good Val I would have at least hit the wine!

I was determined not to let negative messages hit me yesterday. You know all those messages about how other families have it better on moms day.

I told myself I chose to move far away from family, and now I am choosing to move back closer. The daughter who forgot to send card is going through major stuff in her personal life and job, and she ended up sending me a very funny e-card after we text back and forth because I was working.

Val my hubby told me Saturday night, oops I forgot to buy you a card this year but its ok your not my mom! He normally treats me very nice but we have had a few fights and stress lately with the move so I wasn't surprised. So I just made a joke he could go to Safeway and get me the left over card to his great aunt on mothers day. That turned the conversation to a funny pleasant one.

On the way to work Sunday a card was in my glove box he told me to open. He had gone to Safeway and found a funny one. The point is ignore these guys, they have their own issues and I am glad you did good despite him.

I was sick all weekend. Woke up Saturday feeling crappy. Had a family party on Saturday evening (celebrating 3 birthdays & Mother's Day) so I went to that, then stopped at Walmart, but otherwise stayed home all weekend. Got some stuff done around the house - alternated doing something productive with reading or napping. It was good rest for my leg anyway. Still not feeling great today, but felt good enough to come into work. Two other people are out sick.

I'm struggling with my eating, and it's even worse right now when I'm not able to be active. It's a double whammy of not burning those calories plus having extra time on my hands. When I first started losing weight I didn't try to do everything all at once - I made one healthy change, which lead to another, and another, and it grew organically from there, so I decided that's what I need to do again. This week I'm cutting out sweets. Not cutting out all sugars, but I'm not eating cookies, ice cream, chocolate, dessert type things. I started that yesterday. I ate way too much yesterday, but no sweets. Next week I'll keep that plus add in a 2nd good habit until I'm at the point where I'm eating the way I used to. I'm not giving up those things forever, but right now I don't seem to be able to eat anything in moderation so it's time for an intervention. Once upon a time I was eating healthy 90% of the time and just giving myself that little extra flexibility for some extras, if they really seemed worth it, and I'd like to get myself back there again.
