It is so hot and other pointless things about the last two days

It is so hot!  Here we have a heat index of like 105-109 degrees today.  I don't know about anyone else, but that is hot.

Ok, I have been frustrated since dinner with the family last night.  My mom decided she wanted to have Mexican food for dinner.  This is no big deal.  I don't mind what it has in it and it is stuff I eat - vegetables, some ground beef, cheese - no big deal.  So my sister and mother went to the store to get everything and basically come back with a load of groceries full of their snacks and stuff for dinner.  They did forget my baby carrots and celery, but that isn't the point.  So they got cheese dip - one of my favorite things.  I have to be honest.  I wanted it bad.  Like a crackhead bad.  On top of it all, my sister tried to lure me to have some.  I stood strong.  I stayed out of the kitchen and when it was time to make dinner I weighed and measured out all of my food.  But I did allow myself to try one chip with the cheese dip.  It wasn't that good so I didn't really mind not eating it.  I at least tried it.  The only fail about yesterday was I didn't have enough calories left to give myself a snack.  Well, I did, but I wanted a deficit on my cals for the day.  Tonight we are having my favorite - spaghetti, which I am making because I am the only one in my house who can make it and it not taste like crap.

Lastly, I hate the scale.  I have been so happy with the rate of loss that I started looking at it every day.  Such a mistake.  I'm going to go back to once to twice a week.  I can't deal with the disappointment or seeing it creep up due when I know it is mathematically impossible to gain so much when I have exercised and eaten well.  The scale can be the devil.

Anyways - stay cool!
