GAH!!! I found the first bad thing about a calorie burn monitor. When you wear one 24/7 you have a good idea of what your body burns. I burn on average 2000 during the week because I sit so much at work. I consume around 1500. This equals really slow weightloss if you consider 3500 calories is a pound.

Last night I ate around 1700 calories because I didn't get in the house till late, little man was a grump, there was a pizza in the freezer, and viola! Crap food for dinner. So today I step on the scale and... I'm up a freakin pound. Now math says no you're not. It's because you ate late, you ate carbs that make you retain water, you had sushi for lunch too and you're not really up. But the scale says Helllllllloooo jiggly bits! Then my brain says.. which was repeated quite loudly by my mouth because it was a crap morning. CRAP!!!! Followed by words I'm not allowed to say in front of the amish. Luckily.. there were no amish in my bathroom at 5:00 this morning.

So now I have to somehow not let the numbers on the scale derail me. Stupid numbers. My pants are giant on me again. Probably because they were already a size too big. Tomorrow I'm going to the consignment shop to get some new pants. Hopefully new pants in a size that fit will remind me to stay away from the donuts! I can do this. I will do this. I have to do this... Hubby noticed all the fitness video's popping up around the house and now he's trying to figure out if they are working. I had a dream last night he was in the living room doing extreme yoga while I was at work. Now.. if you knew what hubby looked like or how macho he acted.. you'd be laughing you butt off right now too.
