Baaahhh! For the last two, three, four days I've been all crappy feeling! My back has twisted itself into a ball of tight crankiness, an innocent (really!) bed wrestling match resulted in my shoulder feeling as is it is off its hinges and making a snap crackle pop and BAaaahhh! The same bed wrestling match also resulted in a head-butting, but my brow bone has held up well - no bruising or anything.
So when I feel like this, when my body hurts and what would probably help would be to do some light exercising and stretching, instead all I wanna do is eat some chocolate. And then some cheese. And then more chocolate.
Whhhhhyyyyyy? Oh whhhayyyy? Why can't I stop whining?

On Romance
With Valentine's Day coming up, it's almost impossible to escape the romance-think. Even though my husband and I aren't the V-day types, I do have a couple of thoughts on the subject...
Feeling sexy and being comfortable naked are a major motivator for me to lose weight. I've never been the "only in the dark under the covers" kinda girl, but there's no doubt that feeling fat is a major turn-off.
For our year anniversary, adventure-boy (the husband) and I went to a scrumptious dinner at a local French-inspired restaurant. The meal was amazing: a cheese course, truffle-oil laced fresh pasta with mushrooms and other various indulgences. I think we skipped dessert, but the richness of the meal had already done the damage...I was stuffed, uncomfortably so, and all I could think about was going home, getting in my pj's and going to bed. Sans sex. As much as I wanted to continue the celebration, I felt physically and psychologically ill.
On the flip side, since I've started to lose a little weight and feel better about my body both in and outside of pants, our sex life has, ahem, perked up. Maybe it's me. But I know that I've felt more desirable and been desired more in the last couple of months than in the months preceding. It's a nice feeling.

Am I planning to fail?
There are certain things recommended in BDS that I've taken to heart: eating mindfully while sitting, eating to 80% full, strengthening my resistance muscle and others. I'm really struggling with writing a food plan. I haven't done it, not once. I plan in my head, a little, and do very well with breakfast and lunch, but planning dinner ahead is a huge stumbling block for me. As a result, I'm eating more and not as well at night. Last night I mushed together a "What do I want to eat now?" meal after I was done working out, and I ended up ploughing through waaayyy too much bread. Whole grain, yummy artisan bakery bread, but still. Not the dieting choice. And not something I would have planned for.
So I hereby resolve to suck it up and make a plan for tomorrow.
