I'm joining a DietBet challenge too, to lose 4% in 28 days (July 22 - August 18). I'm hoping I get my money back, plus some!

Hmm not going to record food for today for a few reasons: 1) had peanut butter crackers and an oatmeal cream pie practically force-fed to me so that I could donate blood (apparently yogurt for breakfast isn't sufficient)... and 2) had turkey and stuffing and salad for our staff lunch, with lots of water in an attempt to stave off the unsteadiness that was coming on after I donated.

But oh man, that oatmeal cream pie was just sooooo sugary! I can't believe I used to eat several of those in a sitting when I was a kid - how on earth did my taste buds take it? After it I was almost queasy just from the intense dose of sugar.

Back on the dukan diet as much as I was before (when I was successful in losing up to 14 lbs, before backsliding a little). And just in time - I need to see results. I've been discouraged for a while, had a hard time saying no to the things I like (beer, sweets, etc).

Despite being back on track and having more willpower now, I'm in a rough mood. I got the "I wish you would take care of yourself like you did before we got married" statement from my husband today. Partially because I haven't been exercising very intensely lately - it's been a walk here, some yoga there, kickball once/week, etc. He doesn't understand how hard it is to get in shape - he's always been in shape so he can't know how hard it is to get back into things.

Also, I had a ridiculous amount of free time in college to do what I wanted. I could sleep til 10, walk uphill both ways to class - literally - it was an awesome workout, and then go for a run in the afternoon, eat a healthy dinner prepared by our house chef, and then do some homework / drink with friends. Now, I wake up, leave for work at 7:30, get home at 5:30, do any number of boring things like clean the apartment, run errands, etc.

I only get 3 evenings per week to spend with my husband (he works nights). Now I feel like I'm making excuses, because that still leaves 3 evenings I could workout (one evening per week is kickball). True, I could probably get him to go for a run with me, or go to the gym, but something always seems to get in the way - cooking dinner takes twice as long when he helps, or he wants to go to the grocery store that is 25 minutes away and buy up half the store. Before they implemented the summer schedule, I was going to spinning class right after work, and not getting home until 7-730pm. That only left 2 hours max for us to spend together, which sucked too.

I'm just ranting right now, and I'm sure I'll feel better later, but it is so frustrating that he wants me to "take better care of myself" yet doesn't understand just how hard it is to make time for that.
