A husband torn...

Husband is off to nerd out in Waterloo.  Going with him are totally decadent, delicious brownies that he made this evening.  When he makes things, he starts from scratch.  For instance, these brownies used melted chocolate and freshly brewed Kicking Horse coffee.  I was pretty sure I was going to cave when I saw them popped out of the pan, sitting so lovely on the parchment paper.  I'm pretty sure he was a bit torn about what to do.  Take all the brownies with him and risk potential backlash for not thinking that maybe I wanted one?  Or leave me a brownie and suffer potential backlash of me asking why on earth he would leave me a calorie-laden brownie when he knows I'm trying to eat right?  Poor soul.  As seen above, this was his solution.  Quite lovely really.

Mother Nature arrived this evening with her evil little present for me.  Under normal visits from MN I would have devoured that brownie in a heart beat, but today I just kind of feel that crappy feeling that only girls can when they're bloated and blech.

Today at Chub Club I was really glad to be back in the swing of things.  The group of women that are members of the club are a great combination of supportive, caring, funny and brutally honest all in one neat package.  As much as brutal honesty can sting sometimes, I can honestly say that I appreciate it.  There's nothing worse than someone wanting to say something and being too apprehensive to do so for fear of hurting your feelings.  I went down 2 pounds over the last 2 weeks and for that I am happy!  After discussing my weight loss goal with the CC gals, I realize I may be setting an unattainable and unsustainable goal.  I will rethink my strategy and set a new goal.

My water intake is crappy today, as is my level of exercise.  I'm still considering getting on the treadmill, but I really can't imagine it's going to happen.  I'm tired and bloated.
