Sad Weekend

I haven't blogged in a few days.  This weekend was just awful.  Saturday we said good bye to our 18 year old kitty.

Friday, my husband called me at work.  He had come home from running errands to find our cat unable to walk.  I left right away, and got home as fast as I could.  He was right.  She could barely walk, and when she did, it was awful to watch.

She was 18 years old.  She was our baby.  Saturday, I took her to the vet, and was with her when she passed.  It was so sad, and I am still very sad.

Friday night, I ordered a pizza for dinner.  I ordered a chef salad without croutons.  I forgot it came with some garlic bread sticks.  I ate them both.  They were not that big, and I shouldn't have eaten them, but I did.  But that was the only time I ate something I shouldn't have.

The thoughts of just forgetting my healthy eating and having a few slices of pizza did cross my mind.  So did having a slice of the ice cream cake I sliced off for my daughter.  I know that I am an emotional eater, and I turn to food to help me feel better.  Instead, I had a mug of sleepy time tea.

The rest of the weekend went ok.  I ate healthy, and I even made a turkey chili for the crock pot!

This morning when I weighed myself, I was down 5.5 pounds.  Yea!!!  I am glad my eating healthy is working, and that I still lost that much when I only did detox for a couple days!

For now, I have to go.  I need my mid-morning snack!  There is an apple calling my name!  Have a great day!
