I've got time on my hands tonight so I'm just musing ... The problem when you open up a blog to the public is that anyone can stop by. I did it when I was going through chemo to help other women who were going through the same thing ... to let them know that I survived this horror of horrors and so can they. Sometimes that "anyone" can be traffic from undesirable sources.
So for those of you who are hoping for a peep show ... just move on along ... there is nothing to see here ... just a woman who went through hell for a year and a half and lived to tell a tale. Ah ... if only people used some of that energy for positive things ... this world would be a better place.

Lots of Happy News
The absence from posting has been because of lots of good news! We celebrated our daughter's birthday and her engagement all in the same week and yes, I ate cake. Did I suffer greatly from it? Did the scales jump up? No, I did not and no, it did not.
It's been the usual -- lose a pound ... gain half a pound back and so forth, but as long as the numbers stay under where I started from, I've resigned myself to struggling with this. It's going to be a slow hard struggle but if you think I'm giving up, then you obviously don't know me! I shall continue this until I win.
I actually like the mornings when I have to work late ... I can wake up leisurely ... exercised on the elliptical for 20 minutes this morning and then made chocolate chip waffles for breakfast. Sure that was bad ... but that was what the child wanted.
Went back upstairs after breakfast and did another 10 minutes on the elliptical to make up for the waffles. I also swept the house, scrubbed the shower stall, sorted laundry and did a load of darks, cleaned the cat's litterbox, tidied up the guest-room and dining-room, packed for an upcoming trip ... I don't think I sat down for more than 10 minutes. I am not killing myself over those waffles.
Lunch was a cup of leftover fried rice. Dinner was a cup of spinach leaves, literally a few strands of roast chicken from last night's dinner and a drizzle of lite ranch dressing. I had about a cup of fresh pineapple chunks and sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of Cool Whip and a pinch of coconut. My evening snack was an Adkins fudge brownie bar.
Tomorrow is a new day!

Long Weekend Struggle
I have not been good this weekend -- not in the overeating department but more missing meals because it seems like I have been baking forever! I started baking cupcakes on Friday and haven't stopped until this evening.
I've been so busy baking that I have missed breakfasts and lunches. And perhaps that is why I have lost another pound. I will be back on my normal eating routine tomorrow.
