Week 19 - Capable of Salvaging?

The good news? I am journalling. The bad news? I'm -15 points in the hole this week (technically only day 4) including using my 25 gained activity points. Oops.

So my killer week last week of being good, staying within points and journalling like a mad woman isn't going to be worth a hill of beans to me.

Why I wonder can't I stay on program for more than a week straight? This week I have been tired and sick. That shouldn't mean that I can't eat well. Even though I told myself yesterday I wasn't going to do it...we had frozen pizza and wings for dinner. I only had one slice of the pizza. The good news is that junk is now out of the house. No more frozen pizzas to fall back on. Last grocery day I picked up the things I would put on a homemade pizza. Now I just have to make the dough. No problem! I am going to start thinking of what is for dinner right now. Brad called in sick to work so I should have an easier time cooking without trying to figure our dinner out, cook it and feed James all at the same time.

Here's the past three days journals. I really didn't think they were that bad at the time. Lesson learned. Even if busy take the time to work out the points. I had my books with me...I don't know why I didn't keep track. Live and learn.
