Notes:  I did not take photos today.  Feeling really chunky after taking my weight & measurements.  Gained in 5 places.  One of the places I gained in (the breasts) is always good.  The rest, NOT!  Gained a whole fricken inch in the tummy pouch!!!  OUCH!!!  That is REALLY not good. 

This past week, I did leisurely walking on/off for about 3-4 hrs.  The first 1.5 hrs I did get my heartrate up, but the 2nd time I walked, it was stop & go.

This past week I ate a bunch of rice pudding (4 servings), about a quart of rocky road ice cream, some cookies, 4 regular sized cupcakes and 3 of them with frosting like cream cheese or the buttercream.  Last night I had a healthy taco salad, but had 2 servings of this and ate until I was stuffed.  Not sure why I did this as I rarely ever eat this much.

So, this has not been a good week in eating and I just wanted sugar.  Not enough protein in my diet and probably too much salt in the taco salad.  It was homemade and though I used no fat sour cream and low fat shredded cheese, plenty of veggies, extra lean ground sirloin and no fat refried beans, I think the sodium content was too high.  Probably should not have added salt to this.

That plus all the sugar probably made releasing bodyfat impossible.  Also, I did no hardcore workouts and had it pretty stressful with things with my ex-husband and Valentine's Day last Monday and all those sweet goodies.  Didn't overdo that, but my body is sensitive to sugar.

I did do 3-4 days of Healing Codes, though.

Lots of stress from my ex, or at least I perceive it that way.  But, I'm working on forgiving through Jesus Christ and having Him give me strength.
