not really feelin' it...

I don't entirely feel like posting right now, so I'll keep it short and sweet. Maybe a little tart. Who knows.

I'm more sore from yesterday's workout than I'd hoped, but not as sore as I have been in the past. That's a plus. I did a walking workout today, the three mile Walk Slim because I just wasn't feeling like doing anything more strenuous.

The baby was awake before we left for work again. I swear, nothing starts my day better than getting hugs and kisses from my girl. Coffee doesn't even come close (*gasp* - yes, I did just say that!). I just adore that girl.

I had my coffee and string cheese this morning. For lunch I had my salad, oranges, tangerine and hummus with peppers. BUT - the lunch brought in today had mashed potatoes and green beans, so I loaded up on the green beans and had a scoop of mashed potatoes. I feel kind of guilty about that. They ARE a vegetable so they do fit into our veggie/fruit/whole grains plan. But I feel guilty nonetheless.

I avoided the cake again!!! At least this time it was just Red Velvet and not birthday cake. I LOVE birthday cake. I'm still surprised that I didn't have any yesterday!

I have carrots, grapes and yogurt for the afternoon. We're doing lentils and whole grain pasta for dinner tonight.

If stress really is a factor in holding on to weight, there is a good chance I'm not going to lose weight any time soon. We're too busy, there are too many financial issues right now and my work environment isn't exactly a day at the beach. I'm kind of afraid that no matter what I try, no matter how hard I work with exercising and sticking to this "experiment," it's not going to do a darn bit of good because I'm just so stressed out.

I know, I know, it's my reaction to things that causes stress, it's not the "things." Tell that to my bank account.

My plan is to weigh myself on Fridays. I want to come up with some sort of a name for Fridays, but I don't have any good ideas. Fabulous Friday doesn't cut if I don't lose weight. Any suggestions?
