... because I don't know. But I DO know that today...
... I started the day with some fruit and vegetable juice. My daughter was the motivator for that one. I woke up and rolled out of bed and she looked at me and asked, "Are you tired, Mommy?" I said, "Yes, but I'm getting up." "Oh. Are you hungry? Do you want to have some... carrot juice?" And that prompted me to start my day off with some fresh juice. Turns out that's a good way to start off if you want to have a good day.
... I recorded my calories today. And I'm on track. I did have a piece of cake at Meg's today, but it was a small one and I recorded the calories and cut back on my bread at dinner accordingly.
... I am emotional. I don't know what my deal is (okay, so I have a pretty good guess it's the same thing it is every month, stupid hormones!) but I just feel like I'm an emotional pendulum. Up and down, side to side... no fun. But I have kept my eating under control and that has helped, because I haven't added the fat cow feeling to my down moments. =D
... I am not going to exercise, because quite honestly my chest is too sore to tolerate such abuse. If I get really ambitious I might walk, but I want to get the kitchen and dining room cleaned up first, because...
... I am going to go to bed with a clean kitchen an dining room. My house has been messy off and on for far too long and it's time for a good long clean streak.
... I am making good progress on my goal of drinking 64 oz of water today. 3 more cups (24 oz) to go, and most of those, I am fairly sure, will be filled with peppermint tea on this snowy day.

Sorry it took me so long to respond here. Sounds like Sunday was a good day. I am glad for you that you found things that are helpful. I totally get the emotional issues too! Hormones are sometimes mean and nasty, although without them I think things might generally be worse. Keep up the good work during this challenging time! You are in my prayers.
