After the weekend I show a loss and yay, I will take that! It is always good to start Monday off with the scale reflecting a drop in weight. Now to just see what the week holds for me.

I feel like I survived the weekend with DH trying to reduce his carbs. He wasn't as awful to be around, as he was the last time he attempted this, and MAYBE he realizes just how much he has at stake. If he could just realize that his comments of how a tall glass of milk would be good or blah blah is him focusing on his weight. Last night he said that the chips I made were so good that he could have taken the entire container and ate it. Which let me add is exactly what he was about to do. He had some mustard and wanted some chips. I pointed to the container that I had put them all in...a full container. He got it and saw the label I put on it....approximately 35 chips = 6 net carbs. He started to walk off with the entire container. I stopped him and said give me that and I will put some in a bowl. To which he begrudgingly says, "I'll do it". Then he starts putting some int a tiny bowl I gave him. Says, "does that look like 35?" I said, "I suppose so, but I would have counted them out" and he says, "I know YOU would". My response: "but you're the one that will have to answer for it, not me". Because he is!! He is the one that will have to answer for it. Like I said I will help him, but I am not going to monitor him....even though it could be easy. I sent five pre-wrapped bagels to work with him and two containers of chicken salad and a serving of chips. The chicken salad can last one or two days and I will send more chips. I do not mind making him a sandwich wrap to take to work, the night before. Those are the little things. He is the one that has to get his eating under control. So last night he says, I could have ate that entire container those chips were so good. I said, "I know that is why I asked for the container to put some in a bowl. You know our friend that just has gastric by-pass that is the same thing that you have talked about him doing". He said, "but I am not 280#!" I said, "no you aren't; his lack of moderation effects his weight and your lack of moderation is effecting you in a different way". He didn't respond; I know he didn't like it, but hopefully it was food for thought.

As for me I made time for exercise both Saturday and Sunday. I was feeling a little squeezed yesterday. I spent around 4 - 4-1/2 hours meal prepping and then I thought I might not have time to run. We are helping my SIL with a salon she is going to open here in town. I got down and took DH some chips and ham and cheese to the shop and my SIL had arrived. It worked out well because she said, "go on and run honey". That was all I needed. Of course, DH was like "how long will you be??" Got in 2.5 miles in a decent time (for me). Yes, my husband is somewhat co-dependent, but he admits to it.

So time to get back to work. Have to go, directly after work today, to pick up some different contact samples; they one they gave me isn't sitting too well on my eye. Then get back home and try to stop at the gym first. Today is the last day of my month membership (that I won at auction) so I have to make a decision about that, too.

I hope you all have a great week and remember to be kind to yourselves.
