Advantages of Living Alone

Some of you might have noticed that I posted nothing yesterday. In my defence, I did at least change the weight tracker. I ended up being ridiculously busy, and what with the holiday and my finacee not having school, I had a full day planned.

And I really did not too bad considering we ate out at the Desert Star Theatre and had delicious pizza and a pina colada. The food really was great. Instead of losing tons yesterday, I ended up staying at about the same weight. Perhaps a little less.

This is the thought that hit me as I was preparing my meals last night: it is becoming apparent that if I expect to continue slipping down that rocky, painful road we call the BMI, I'm going to need to lose most of my weight during the week because with things as it is, I indefinitely will gain some of it back on the weekends.

That's what happens when you have a beautful future bride with a lovely family who all enjoy good food. To be perfectly fair, the things these people make for meals tend to have very natural ingredients, and everything is homemade and rather healthy. It's the desserts that stick me. It's hard to refuse homemade brownie-lava-fudge cakes, or raspberry pound cake, or lemon mousse, or chocolate marble cheesecake. These do me in every time. However, if I do go and visit family this weekend, I'm sure there will not be as many snacks as are at my sister's house, and I'll simply refuse to eat anything fried. There is a large possibility that we will have Thai food, and in my heart of hearts, I'm okay with that.

Tomorrow, in addition to about a billion other things I need to do before 1 pm, I need to make another shopping list for meals. The good news is I don't have to buy everything I bought last time because it seems the food I bought has lasted about 11ish days instead of just 7. Thank goodness.
