Hi my buddies!  I have pretty much been MIA since my breakdown Thursday night.  We started celebrating my birthday Friday so its been downhill since then.  I have no regrets except I hear my scales creaking under all the extra weigh I am putting on them!

Nah, I dont think its been that bad but I am taking Nancy’s advice and staying off of them.  Give my body a few days to balance everything out.  I ate, drank and partied like a rock star!  And considering I am 38 now that means I ate something without fiber, drank a few beers and was in bed by 9! LOL!!

But my parents took us out for Mexican (my fave) and my mom made us a red velvet cake.  This was for both mine and Tom’s birthdays.  So I am have eaten myself into a stupor.  I have not slept well and my stomach is beyond repair.  Why do we have to celebrate special occasions with food?  Dont get me wrong, I really enjoyed it but I know I am gonna pay when I get on the scales Thursday.  One good thing about it, I wont let it get out of control.  I’ll just take it right back off.  Thats what its all about, right?

I even got up this morning with my good intentions but was surprised at work with a homemade strawberry/cream cheese cake!  OMG!  How can I say no?  My best friend made it for me?  She just bought and moved into her house this weekend but took time to bake me a cake!  It was hopeless!

Now we are expecting a major ice storm here starting later tonight.  I just cant catch a break.  We do have a generator but its hard to cook much of anything because we cant pull more than one burner at a time on the stove.  And forget the microwave if we want heat.  And if we get any ice at all its a given we will lose power because we are so rural here.  But I’m not giving up!  I still have to get thru Tom’s surprise party Saturday night so I’ll be hitting it hard after that.  My sis comes home again on March 6th and I will have lost 10 pounds by then. Just watch me! 

I am still upset about my meeting but trying not to think about it too much right now.  Thursday is just gonna be horrible, that is if we are able to even have a meeting (the weather).  I still have not decided if I will be attending a meeting somewhere else or not.  Funny, I had a dream the other night after I posted here about the whole thing.  And in my dream I was able to tell a few people what I thought about it all.  And even though it was a dream, I really felt alot better after I woke up.  Guess it was my way of venting.

Thanks to all my buddies who supported me that night.  For some reason alot of your comments went into moderation (WHAT is up with that anyway?  If we are members why do they get flagged as spam?) and I just caught them tonight.  I am sorry about that.  I love to hear from you guys and I was really thrilled to see your support.  I knew you guys would understand. 

Here is to a better week for all of us.  Now would someone PLEASE remove all these cakes from my house?!?!?!?!
