Oh Buffy...my DH used to work away during the week..it is a lot easier in the food department..for sure...and you appreciate them being home more too...So proud you only had such a few extra cals...you did good girl friend...Now its a new month...we can do this...Yes we can...:O)

Hey Buffy- good for you for avoiding the chocolate- I gave in to the reeses peanut butter cups :(- but managed to limit it much better than I usually would. Change can be a good thing.Hope the change in your life is good for you -it will definitely be easier to feed yourself and not be tempted to have a bite or two of what DH is having. You are motivated for positive change so I'm sure you will make it work :)

I would say that is a huge success....one small amount of chocolate would have been 100s of calories - so well done! I'm liking the new opportunity....when do you start???

Bren - When I moved to NC he was still living in NY and we only saw each other every other week - so I know this will be OK. You are so right about the new month - good motivation to start it off right!

Newmooney - Thanks for the vote of confidence. Funny - I used to have a poster that read "Change is Good".

Mom - You said that right! This means I have to start getting up at 4:45 AM - Yikes! But the job is a great opportunity, and considering he is 60, maybe a last chance. So the least I can do is pull my weight.

Neptune - Thanks! We are both happy but realize it will take a while to adjust. Good for you keeping a lid on things yesterday. And yes, a new month is good for a new start. Got to keep ahead of the next holiday!

Yes, you need to pull your weight, but now it's a whole lot less than it used to be, right? They also say that marriages benefit from having a bit of time apart....makes you miss each other more. BTW...great job staying away from the chocolate....a VICTORY worth celebrating!

Sandy - You are too funny! And yes, the time apart can be beneficial. DH will be working with one of his old friends from NY so it will be good to see them reunited.

GG- I appreciate that. Got to make plans because, for me, stuff doesn't just happen on its own.

Buffy in answer to the question you left in my journal yesterday about my saying "WHITE RABBITS".
My husband, who is English, and I are in the habit of saying 'White Rabbits!' on the first day of each month. The word must be spoken aloud, and be the first word said in the month. It brings luck for that month.
Now you know the rest of the story. :)
