Looking back at May...

I've been a bad, bad blogger. My sis (thanks J!) asked me why I stopped blogging... and I kinda knew it's been awhile, but seeing that it's May 30, and I last stopped blogging on MAY 1. I honestly can't believe it's been THAT long. Ugh. So shameful.

May has been a crazy month. Chris and I were talking about how we've just had our ups and downs this month. Looking back, we've only been to the Centre twice this month, too!

Since I've been a bad blogger, I haven't been keep track of Chris' progress either (or as well as I had been in the past months) BUT... I am happy to report he's lost a total of *drumroll please* 23 POUNDS! His clothes are fitting better and his tummy is shrinking. So YAY Chris!

As for me... here's a recap of the month:

Week of 5/5: 217. That's right. After my birthday week free-for-all, I put on 2.5 lbs. Damn those delicious cupcakes and the Hawaiian food goodness!

Week of 5/12: No weigh-in to report. Had come down with the flu, AGAIN. That's the third time this season. I am SO over the flu.

Week of 5/19: 214. YAY!!! So, the flu isn't such a bad thing after all!

Week of 5/26: So, JC calls to ask if we can reschedule our appointment to a different day (she confesses that we're her last appointment on Memorial Day, and would we mind?) Not a problem. We reschedule for Thursday (5/29). Here's the snag... we showed up for our appointment last night, and the center is closed! Apparently after the storms last week, the roof of the Center had caved in and they had moved to Lakewood. Unfortunately, no one told us. So, we're going to to see if they can see us come Monday.

Stay tuned!

Ok. So... yeah.

I'm not going to lie. I'm getting... bored with the diet. frustrated that I only lost 1/2 lb last week. But, yes - I totally get that I exchanged with real food AND celebrated my birthday this past Saturday with ice cream cupcakes and sooo not JC-approved foods. To top it off, this week's PMS (and now period) cravings for sweets, chocolates, etc is SO not helping. I'll admit I cheated, but dang, how do you control the crazy cravings without becoming a raging biyatch?

Anyhoo, I know losing 1/2 lb and not gaining any is good... but it doesn't feel good. :(
