In Retrospect

I feel fortunate to have a day to myself, no specific plans and nowhere I have to be. I'm not exactly sure what I'll do with the day. I've been especially tired lately, taking naps in the afternoon. I don't particularly like that.

Last week was good, but also quite tough. On Monday, the CYL group focused on intuition, the voice of God, which was probably my favorite chapter so far in the book.

Thursday I had a very blunt conversation with Robert about whether he was interested in being in the marriage anymore. Cried my way through dinner, at a restaurant. Based on how unhappy I am, he wasn't sure about what he wanted to do and wanted time to think about it. After getting through a silent, uncomfortable dinner, he still drove to Hobo's where we had originally agreed to go after dinner. During the drive and time at Hobo's we started to find a common ground we could start to move forward from. I was exhausted from this for the rest of the week.

Saturday we went out to have dinner with Derek. We went to Red Lobster because I wanted to stay with fish or seafood to keep on my food plan as much as possible. We had a nice visit and I split a grilled shrimp, scallop and chicken sampler with Robert which worked out well

Sunday evening was the Super Bowl at Kathy's. I brought tuna salad and croissants, so I'd have something to eat. It was a hit. There were potato chips, Rice Krispies treats and freshly made brownies. Man, sometimes staying on this food plan can be a struggle.

I put on only 1 pound after the weekend was over. I've been working this week to get it back off. I know it put me behind in my weight loss for February, but things are going to come up that will require making the best choices possible in the situation.
