Hubby took a couple vacation days this week and guess where he is? You got it work! He had to go in a for a couple hours (it had better be only a couple hours)! Yesterday the boss called to find out where some folders where and for other reasons, and then he got a call about from another employee who has his checked mailed who did not get it. He had called and talked to the boss and it didn’t get resolved so he called hubby at home last night, like what was hubby going to do about it at home! It seems like every time he takes a day off he doesn’t actually get it! He doesn’t understand why I get upset, it just seems his job rules our lives. He complains about his job, but I know he loves it, and likes that he is needed there so much! It strokes his ego!

Hubby is working tomorrow for his 2nd job, he is doing a wine tour, so I will probably spend the day at my moms and then meet my son and his wife and the grandkids at the lake for fire works later when he gets done.

Now that I am done complaining, I have made some revelations about my diet. I have always had a really hard time when counting calories, but this time I am having a lot easier time of it. I am finding some good foods that are lower in calories and taste good too! One thing I was really surprised at was Turkey burgers. I always thought YUCK! I actually think they taste pretty good and are a good alternative to a hamburger and a lot less calories and fat!

I think switching to counting calories was a good choice for me. I have lost 8 lbs. in the past 2 weeks and it has not been as difficult as I thought it would be!

I also think that joining a challenge group has helped to motivate me. Another motivational thing I have started in the past couple weeks is to do a food journal. Food journaling has helped to really keep track of what I am eating and all the changes have made me more accountable for what I eat.

I hope everyone is having an awesome day!
