37.6% Not exercising, but busy packing and cleaning and organizing-- that's got to be good for something. Late last night Chuck came home with a pizza and offered me the last two slices. I wasn't hungry, but was stressed about the move and upset about a conversation with my mom and thought "mmm, pizza!" and ate about 1/2-2/3 of a large slice. Then my stomach hurt and I got all upset about what the scale would say this morning. Chuck (who once weighed about 100 lbs more than he does now) told me he would love me if I weighed 800 lbs, which made me cry a little, and then in the most loving, drill-sargent way, he had me do 100 jumping jacks so that I would feel better about myself. It worked, but I was just starting to cramp up around 100, so I did a stretching routine. And man, did I need to do that! My muscles were sooo tense! I want to get back into stretching like I was doing regularly before. I wonder if I can get Chuck to do it with me. With his frequent muscle and joint soreness, I think he needs it as much or more than me. (re: joints: is stretching good for people with arthritis? does anyone know?)

Thanks to those jumping jacks I am able to report a slight loss this morning. And I am having a delicious and nutritious smoothie in preparation for my day. I have so much to do! I am regretting not taking some time off to prep for the move, but I'll make it anyway, I know I will.

have a wonderful day!
