What a weekend! Due to a baby shower and a potluck, this was a challenge. I did not stay as low carb as I would have liked, but compared with this past Christmas, I kept carb levels to a minimum.

Yesterday I discussed this situation and am happy to report that my weight stayed steady. I did walk at a brisk pace on our treadmill before going to sleep last night, which helped combat excess carbs.

I am interested to see where I am at in the morning. I expect to be lighter by maybe a pound. I did walk for about 40 minutes today on the treadmill.

I am...

Today has been a pretty harsh day for me. My only sibling left home today. He had my dad tell mom and I yesterday evening that he was leaving today at 4pm. He says he's coming back. That he is only going across the country to visit someone.

The person he is going to visit is deceitful. I thought he had realized that when she walked out on him without telling anyone that she was leaving but I guess I was wrong.

Chloe is sleeping late this morning. She's usually up by 7am. Home scale is jumping around; from 163 to 167. I'll assume 163 for now and try to get a good workout and strength training before Tuesday's weigh in at work.
I'll do cardio from home today.

Marci's birthday party this afternoon.
I'll bring my cream cheese spinach and Susan is supposed to call me about the meat they are preparing. I'll have to do extra cardio since I'll be eating my calories late today.

No back cramps this morning.

Just finished 40 min inclined treadmill and...

Two former slaughterhouse workers were charged this weekend with abusing ailing cattle.

They were seen in a Humane Society video, which showed workers kicking, shocking and otherwise abusing "downer" animals that were apparently too sick or injured to walk into the slaughterhouse.

Crippled and sick animals were being shoved with forklifts.

"The facts of this case are horrendous," the DA said. "It makes your stomach turn to see what they did to these cows."
