Monday, November 12,2012... Day 12

Just checking in...  We haven't weighed in in a few days.  We've been a little bad, but really...  not very bad at all.  For me, it's TTOM.  Ugh...  UGH!!  Need I say more??  I've been miserable.  So no working out like I had been hoping.  BUT on a VERY good note, No ALCOHOL FOR 12 DAYS!  THAT is a record, folks!  How ridiculous...  But each day just keeps adding to that number.  The kids are back today.  They...  challenge me.  They make me crave alcohol.  When I go 6 days with just me for the most part and Curt occasionally, when they come back it's shocking.  I get a 3 hour run down of their week over at their dad's.  Always fun.  So they come home today and it is CONSTANT talking.  And 3 of them are sick.  So here I sit in bed, watching TV, waiting for Curt to get off work and listening to Berlyn cough and cough and cough.  But, it's quiet, meaning, no talking! 

Tomorrow...  a weigh in.  For some reason, I'm really worried about it.

We got the kiddos off to school and went back to sleep and woke up at 12:45!!!  It was wonderful.  That is when we did our morning weigh ins.  I hope I don't freak out too much if I'm up alot tomorrow.  

I've been having RAGING headaches for a couple days.  I assume my body is screaming it wants naughty carbs. 

On a non-diet note...  I will be SO glad when tomorrow is over.  I'm so tired of election stuff.  I can't watch network TV, I can't go on Facebook.  Hate this crap.  Why don't people understand that them waving their political party flags is a turn off??  I have almost unfriended SEVERAL people.  I know who I'm voting for.  It will be the best option for my family, considering I'm not overly excited about either candidate.  Being bombarded by hate statuses about either candidate is really not doing their candidate any favors.  Ahhhh...  I feel better.  I won't post that on Facebook, so I'll get it off my chest here.

We decided to start back on Dukan on November 1.  We thought it would be easiest to start with my work load lightening up on that day.  Curt is still working up in Boise.  That sucks!  It's hard to get dinners arranged when he's not working from home. 

Curt is doing great on the restart!  Me... not so much.  Once again...  there's that whole "going" issue that I get.  I figure I'll have a woosh in a day or two.  On a VERY bright note, I haven't had a beer in 4 days.  Even better, I haven't even had the craving I normally get in the evening.  It is so strange.  When I start the diet, my mindset changes.  My need for food (especially excessive amounts) and beer (this time...) just leaves.
