So So

So... I am still doing my higher carb days.  I won't lie -- I'm finding it somewhat hard!  I KNOW I can have a few more carbs, but I am finding it difficult to do simply because I am SO use to not eating them!  I find myself having to rationalize eating the carbs saying it's what I need right now and that something has to give.  I've done pretty well.  I'm not going crazy, but I am allowing myself much more freedom.  It's just strange and I really do have to work at it!  LOL  And so far, my weight is staying the same.  I even had a cupcake last night!  OK, I had a low dinner and the cupcake was carrot cake, but still.  That was a big treat for me!  And I really enjoyed it.  And want to know what's even crazier than the fact that I am not gaining?  I'm not really having cravings and I am on day 4 I think?   I REALLY thought that going from 40g or less a day would make my cravings go through the roof.  But so far, really manageable.  Nothing crazy, nothing strong.  STRANGE.  So, as of right now, I don't know how I feel about this!  Not sure when I will go back to lowered carbs -- we have a lot going on the next few days but I am thinking that it will be after this weekend.  Either Sunday or Monday.  I may do today... I don't know.  I was going to do the other day, but the hubby said it was too soon and that I should wait a couple more days.  I just don't want to get TOO in the habit of higher carbs.

On another note, I finally got the clean out and organization of my closet done yesterday.  I even got the guestroom closet and my oldest's closet done!  The littler's had been done already.  Then, I did a little clean-up on my laundry area.  Not to mention all the housework!  WHEW!  We did a LOT yesterday.  And then we had date night and we went shopping for the hubby.  I swear, that man is harder to shop for than any woman.  He is SO picky about his clothes!  Especially T's.  He's the opposite of most men... most days he will get a polo or a button down on before a T.  But he is REALLY low on nice T's and I told him it was time he did some shopping for himself.  He also needs some new sandals.  So, we went out looking for him.  He DID get 5 shirts, but three were polos!  Thankfully, one I LOVE because the style has the pockets on the front and well, he looks yummy in those!  The other two he got so that he could get rid of the two he had because between regular wear and occasionally golf, they were getting yucky.  Plus, one was really too heavy to wear for golf.  He would sweat so bad!  So, he got two golf polos that are much better.  No shoes or sandals, though.  URGH.  That man is living in his Sketchers or Nike's.  He needs other shoe options.

So, one day into his time off and we've already been pretty productive.  We even got some prep done for other projects around here!  I wouldn't even be writing NOW except he had to take a load off to the dump and it's in the next county.  Then I have a hair appt. and a Dentist appt. and then we will be going to HD to try to get the stuff we need for our projects.  I am HOPING my family is coming in tonight so that we can get up and get to it in the AM.  AND, I hope the weather holds out.  If the weather isn't good, we're in trouble no matter what.

****OK, it is now after 9PM and I am just NOW getting back to finishing this post!  Several things... Had an NSV!  Got my size 16 jeans on!  Woot!  So, something is happening!  Hair appt. went GREAT!  I LOVE it!  Dentist appt. is good -- my tooth is fine and the cleaning felt good, too!  Last but not least, the Home Depot run is done.  WOOT WOOT!  Good day.  Only disappointing thing is that we went out for Mexican food because everyone wanted it.  I ordered what I thought was a cheese enchilada and a plain taco.  What came out was a tamale and beef enchilada.  *sigh*  I ate the tamale, a few beans, a couple of bites of rice, and the beef out of the enchilada.  Just wasn't satisfying.  AT ALL.  Not what I wanted either.  Glad I ate darn good all day or I'd feel worse about dinner.  I am SO ready to eat lower and think I will tomorrow.  Surely 4 days is good?  I know I have a lot to do so I will listen to my body, but we will see.  I know the hubbs will say I should do another few days.  LOL

Well, I guess that is all for now.  I need to end this hugely long post and move on to other things!  If I don't post for the next few days, don't worry -- going to be doing the back of our house!  WISH ME LUCK!
