morning everyone!
The weekend was so nice, but also very full of action.
Saturday we went to my good friends' house for a BBQ/Birthday party for her son and herself (their birthdays are a day apart) and I hadn't seen her in over 6 months which seems crazy since we used to hang out several times a week before I had Story. It was nice catching up and it was a gorgeous day for a BBQ. I did eat more calories that I usually do but nothing off plan...just a few coctail meatballs and half a Cheeseburger patty...the beef adds up!
Yesterday I took Story to the Zoo with my sister and her kids...it was pretty hot but not unbearable, and the Brookfield zoo has a nice little splash pad so we had the kids wear their swimsuits under their clothes so they could cool off there for a bit around noon. Packed a nice picnic lunch and we left around 2:00, hung out at my sisters' house, had dinner there and came home just in time for Story's bedtime.
I had planned to cook something last night since we usually rely on leftovers for our lunches but we got home late and ate beforehand so I figured we could just find something else like tuna or lunch meat...it spawned an argument between DH and I this morning that totally ruined my mood and I am still trying to talk myself down.
I'm just really upset that he expected me to leave my sisters' house early JUST to come home and cook a dinner that he wasn't even home for- just so he could have something to eat for lunch today.
I feel like what I am going to eat is not as important to me anymore as long as there is something that meets my necessities. He still gets really concerned with it though and he is the one that swears he doesn't have a food addiction. He does work til 11:30pm but he is usually still awake til at least 2 am watching tv or playing video games before he goes to bed anyway so it's not like he didn't have time to prepare something for himself either. He just relys on me to do it for him and it made me really angry that he was actually being that selfish. I still feel pretty miffed about it but trying to cool off so I don't completely ruin my whole day with this mood.
QOTD: Story makes me laugh daily. She's 3 and a half which is such an awesome age for learning and discovering, and the way she sees things makes me smile all the time.

So after a few days of being super low calories I managed to up them quite a bit yesterday... however it was only done because I made a catastrophic mistake with dinner. The recipe was for turkey meatloaf. Great! I planned on using chicken sausage to make it more moist... well yeah, that chicken sausage I bought was in fact pork sausage. That was extra 100 calories I didn't plan on. I had a tiny portion, basically a quarter serving but still...
Qotd: I laugh all the time. My husband always makes laugh. There could be a mile long list of things that get me giggling. Most recently, was probably a meme on pinterest this morning!

I am also coming down from the vacation high. We had such a great time!
