Wednesdays and Weekends are by far my toughest days!  Wednesday because it's just me and Abby at home.  I was doing ok until I came back in from shoveling snow.  From then on I was HUNGRY!  To top it off, I hadn't planned anything really for supper due to hockey.  But hockey was cancelled due to the weather and I had to come up with something to eat.  I had nachos, but it wasn't what I wanted and it didn't hit the spot.   That lead to the cake and the cereal.  If the exercise numbers are correct, I had the calorie range to not worry about it.  I'm not betting the farm on the fact that snow shoveling burned almost 600 calories.

Tomorrow is another day and I will do better being at work.  I'm not sure what lunch will be, but perhaps I stop and get some lunch meat.  Hopefully blogging this will help me be more accountable.

Despite my weight gain yesterday, I don't feel like I actually put that much on. My clothes felt looser and I didn't feel bloated.  It's also a particularly "female" time for me right now, but often I find I loose a bit of weight during that time, but maybe not this time around.  Ah well, it doesn't really matter, I am still working towards being healthier and that doesn't always mean being thinner.
