Please don’t think I’m the Eeyore of the buddy boards. I don’t mean to be a downer. I just naturally write what pops into my head. Sometimes it’s sarcastic, sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s negative and sometimes it’s just blah. I’m trying to faithfully write something every day and I missed yesterday, which is disappointing.

My cold is in full force. I can’t breathe without hacking up junk, my body aches, and even staying in bed this morning for an extra hour and a half didn’t help as I can’t sleep restfully. In the scheme of things, it’s still just a cold though and it shouldn’t be dragging me down like this. I think the real reason I’m Eeyoring it today is because I ate nachos last night. Not the whole plate or even half the plate, but it still wasn’t on my list of “ok” Phase I foods. But that’s what I get for not eating beforehand (went boating with friends and didn’t grab something for the ride).

The bright side, though, is that I also had microwave popcorn (about 1 cup) and a glass of lemonade last night as a “treat”.  Even three weeks ago, that wouldn’t have been a treat, that would have been me grazing as I made a real treat of a can of pop and a bag of chips and dip. By the way, chips are my kryptonite. Ruffles, in particular, but any kind will do). I haven’t had a chip in 2 weeks. Anyway, I commented to my husband that it’s weird how things change once you are trying to lose weight.

Anyway, this post isn’t making much sense nor is it flowing in any logical way. But I felt compelled to write something because I don’t want to skip a day. Tomorrow is weigh in day (I admit that I weighed myself this morning but will wait to see what tomorrow brings).
