I'll just have to try to make good choices and remember to drink lots of water! At least I'll be traipsing all over campus all day for exercise. Have a great weekend everyone! - Stephanie

Sorry I haven't been on much, it has been a very rough week for me, emotionally. I can't believe I am saying this here, but this is the only place that I don't feel judged and I know it won't get around my neighborhood or back to my kids. My husband of 20 years had been acting distant and when we finally talked about it, he admitted he was "interested" in someone else. Well, there was a sucker punch I never expected. We have since talked and talked, and decided that since "nothing happened" we are going to try to work things out. But it is going to be a long road, because my trust in him is ruined and it will take me some time to build it back up. I never thought we would be one of those couples, we have been together since I was 18 and for 22 years, we had what I thought was a great relationship. Obviously, not perfect, but we got along well, have great kids, great home, etc... Oh well, enough, it is time to move on. Thanks for listening. Now, I need to focus on still taking care of myself while taking care of my marriage. That is one of my downfalls, I think. So, I am going to try very hard to make sure I post my menu here everyday, because that will keep me on track. I did make it to Curves 2x this week, and this morning the scale was down 4 pounds, which is my first loss in a few months. So, I think the exercise is making a difference. B: Didn't have because needed to get my bloodwork for my appt next week L: Chicken Parmesan S: LF Cheese and Pepperoni ; Peanut Butter crackers D: 1T of mashed potatos, 2 -3 oz of baked chicken S: White Cheddar Cheez ITs - but this time I measured out a portion! Peanut butter crackers So, not the best day, not the worst. I can live with it. Thanks!
