Year 2 Week 12 Day 5

Ahhh….springtime and I am feeling fine.

Well especially with these numbers for the end of the month.

Okay, in case that Difference column looks confusing it's because it the difference from the end of February to the end of March. And while I am a bit punchy with the -1.0 a week based on the previous week's number and the following through as the number maybe doesn't change. Anyways the point is that the -6.0 lbs is a month's worth of lose in four weeks.

One more week until Easter and those accursed Cadbury Crème Eggs are removed from my line of vision. If you said "Hey want to eat marshmallow covered in the colored sugar?" I'd like to believe in general that I would not, however if you shape them as adorable chicks or bunnies then I devour them by the row. This season might be worse than Halloween in that you get the feeling that Easter candy is here for a short time and then it's gone. So you have to eat it all now before they go away for a whole year. Most Halloween candy is just bite size versions of candy that is always available except maybe candy corn and those peanut butter chew things. Neither of those is particularly tasty to me so I don't miss them, but a full sized Easter bunny in Dove Chocolate (mmmmm….) just isn't on store shelves after next week.

So maybe next week I'll go to a more meals per day plan and try to incorporate some breakfast protein and lunch salads into the Monday thru Friday grind. Still trying to make better choices when eating out Friday night thru Sunday. Also still can't get into the groove of regular aerobic activity and this weather is really cutting into my making excuses.

I think I just need to take more naps.

Later,
