Don\'t eat the donuts!

My husband goes to the store yesterday and comes home with 4 boxes of donuts and various Entenman's cakes.  Ugh!  I still have 1/2 strawberry shortcake in the refrigerator I am praying someone else eats from mother's day.  I am trying to be good.  I am just surrounded by junk food.  I went to Lancaster and I did buy (and eat) that 1 strawberry cheese croissant.  But I bought nothing to bring home.  I didn't even buy anything at Harry & David's!  (And I love Moose Munch!)  So I am mad and craving chocolate.  Still struggling to drink more water.  I feel water logged and like I am going to the bathroom so much.  But I went to the Y this morning and did my 35 mins on the elyptical machine and 20 mins of upper body weights and 5 mins of stretching.  Felt pretty good.  Hopefully back on track for those size 12's in a few more weeks.  I am desperately trying to focus on the size 12's and not the chocolate Entenman's donuts!    I had started out at 166 lbs back in November.  Got down to 153.5 lbs in February and then stopped.  Fluctuated a little but worked myself back up to maybe 157 a few weeks ago.  Hoping by Sunday to be back down to 154 lbs.  I will be almost even to where I was before I fell off the wagon a few months ago.  So that will be good.  Can't wait to get past where I was before.   Had oatmeal for breakfast and coffee.  Had fresh strawberries and peanut butter sandwich and water for lunch (natural peanut butter.)  Also had a cup of herbal tea.  I am cooking some soup with leftover turkey now with some veggies.  Yum!  And it is a dreary, cool, rainy day.  So soup will be good.   Paul was out today for a while and I worked from home, so got some much needed peace and quiet.  I think I will go read a chapter or 2 in my book while dinner is cooking.   I have a Weight Watchers points calculator/tracker.  It helps me keep track of my progresss, etc.  149 lb will be good.  That is the first goal that the tracker set for me.  1)  I will be below 150, 1st time in years.  2)  That is a 10% weight loss.  3)  I am hoping by then to be 1 size down, from a size 14 to a size 12.

I know it is hard, I am struggling with my weight also and there are so many temptations, I only have to look at food and I put on weight. I am trying hard and have lost a little but there is a long way to go - I do have an underactive thyroid which means I\'m prone to putting on weight, so now with medication and some will power I hope I can win the battle. Keep up the good work - you will get there - we will get there together - love and hugs - Josephine
