Did much better eating yesterday and stayed below my 1500 calorie limit. I should really look into getting more fiber in my diet. I will try to have hubby pick up some more greens from the store on his way home from work tonight...(since I still cannot drive).

I did 10 minutes on the elliptical trainer yesterday afternoon. I have not been released for exercise by my doctor yet and still won't be for another 4 weeks or so. But I was bored out of my mind and was pretty motivated... so I went really REALLY slow. I know that 10 minutes isn't really helping anything, but it felt so good to think that I was doing something healthy. My stomach is a bit sore today - so I think I will lay off until the beginning of next week and try again. I would hate to tear something... I did have 2 major abdominal surgeries 16 days ago... I guess I need to learn some patience as well.

This weekend will be a challenge as my hubby will be home. Any time he has a weekend off - I tend to over eat. Actually that is an understatement. I gorge myself when he is home -- we really love food and love eating out... He is rarely home so we usually go nuts when he is home. Wish me luck!
