Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 28 April 2016

Weigh in from Wednesday on a Thursday because I couldn't seem to make it on here yesterday. I did weigh in and recorded it in Myfitnesspal but I never made it over here to write about it. Just yuck. Yuck yuck yuck. This is what 4 days in a truck driving to Iowa with 3 kids to pick up a grain head because it was a deal does to me. If it wasn't the constant snacking by everyone, then the stress caused by everyone whining, and then the constant fast food joints and pit stops.. oh and Iowa has gigantic cinnamon rolls! I mean HUGE. Think big as my face huge. All 690 calories of them. We stopped and got them not once but twice. Just smack me.

Today is better. Yes I weighed in again because I will probably obsessively weigh in until I get back down into wonderland. I was 205.5 today. For some reason I don't think this is going to come off as fast as I put it on but I'm determined. Its just a 5 lb bump in the road. A 5 lb stress induced 32 hours in a vehicle with 3 kids and a husband who says.. we only stop when we need fuel. uh huh.. unless the snacks run out. Screw rest areas where we could all pee. Uh huh. Don't ask how but I'm still married. I'm 5 lbs heavier.. but still married so that's some small victory right?

So now I jump back in with both feet and I get this cart moving in the right direction. If any other road trips stand in my way.. I run over the road trip planner with the cart.

Goal: 195 by the end of May. If I do it then.. I may be able to button my pants without laying on my bed and I will reward myself with an afternoon off all by myself.. doing whatever the heck I feel like doing because that to me is heaven.
