Gained weight

This is the first time in my 8 months since surgery that the scale has gone up. I gained 1.5lbs. Which is weird because i lost 1/2 an inch on my waist.

But I totally deserve it. The carb/sugar monster got me. I let it in with the first cupcake and boy its hard to shake it. i've been trying this week. I got down to sugar free candies instead. but i haven't shaken it completely. I was supposed to work out all week but i only ended up working out on monday. with my new, no cooking except for thursdays/fridays rule and "don't bake it unless its for someone to purchase" rule were put in place to get me back on track. but laziness. she's a tough mistress. i'm copping up to it though. i deserve it. i'm not even gonna dwell on it because i kind of saw it coming. i was half convinced it would still go down just because its gone down since surgery and never up. but i got a rude awakening today.

not getting bumbed because A. i did lose 1/2 an inch, but mostly because B. I have an order to fill today! My very first order! My cousin ordered cupcakes and brownie pops for her sister in law. its an hour away so i charged a heft $20 delivery fee. and rightly so. so its a $67 order all together. i'm so excited because this is my very first order! i have my cake boxes all ready to go. i have my stickers on everything. its looking so cute. i swear you take my love of making things with my love of wrapping things and this is my dream job. lol. i'm so excited!!

i made a test batch of banana/nutella cupcakes with a caramel cream cheese frosting. but i haven't tasted them. i made 8. i'm going to throw 6 in with the order just as a freebie and leave the other 2 for my hubby to taste. he ate one last night and approved. after i pack up everything there will only be one cupcake left in this house and nothing else! yay! i love having my house cleared of sweets. my joy is to make them and then to have people take them away. lol.

my husband is off today. so maybe we'll take advantage by going poolside or hitting the gym. i def have the motivation. lol.

you know whats weird though? i woke up one day this week and i felt really skinny. i measured myself  (because i only weigh on fridays) and i saw the inches lost. i was like wow...what caused this?? the only thing i did different was not to drink a protein shake the day before but eat cereal and milk instead. it was weird but i was optimistic about weigh in. then i woke up this morning and i did not feel thin, i knew it wouldn't be good. lol.

oh well. back to fighting the good fight. gotta kick that carb monster's ass! lord give me strumf.
