Happy Easter Delaware Folks!

Is it ever going to start warming up around these parts? The sun is out in full force today in southern DE but the wind sure is chilly. I want to get out and work in the yard but my fibromyalgia is rearing up and the cold weather is not helping matters.

I had been doing way too much stress-eating over the past four weeks and although I'm gaining, losing and gaining the same 10 pounds over and over again, it is redistributing itself to where my legs are these huge tree-trunks, all jiggly and flabby. For the first time in a long time, I've really felt FAT again. The flab is spilling over my bra band and waistband.

To top things off, somebody who hadn't seen me in a couple of months commented on the weight gain as well. (For me, it's one thing if *I* can feel it in the way my clothing fits . . . and quite another when it's noticable to others LOL.)

So . . . last Thursday I weighed in at 183 and that was an AHA moment -- haven't ever been this high. Time to do something before I get totally out of control. The kids are now off on spring break so that will make it even harder to keep food in the house for them. My willpower is non-existent -- earlier this week I actually ATE their easter bunnies out of their hidden baskets and had to replace them.

Yesterday I stuck to nothing but protein, that has always been a way to get me at least jumpstarted in the right direction, today I plan to do the same.

Hi BJ and everyone!
We had a great Easter weekend!
First, the ghetto bullies that pick on my kids moved out of my neighborhood!
Got the house all cleaned up, both floors at one time. shoo lots of cleaning.
I hosted the family Easter dinner.  My brother and sisters made a pack when my mom died to continue the holiday dinners together.  I made dinner for 18 of us.  It was great!

I hope everyone had a great Easter!
