No Rest yadda yadda yadda

I think I've got my poop together...er...now I just have to work on the language issue. This past summer the only time I was able to have adult conversations without little ears around was on the baseball bench...so now I'm swearing like a sailor...tee hee!

Last week I managed to go to the gym three times. Wednesday I didn't go because I attended a Weight Watchers meeting instead. Friday I didn't go because I went shopping instead. Decided I needed to buy some new clothes in a size that will fit me now. I'm not too devastated by doing that though. The tops I bought are medium (same as always) and the pants are an 11 (a little big actually but they didn't have a 10). Not too far away from my previous seemingly impossible to achieve 8's. I'm a happy girl!

Eating is coming easier too being away from home. I can only eat what I bring to work with me. I've started eating frozen entrees (yes Pam, I know...sodium!) for lunch since they are portion controlled and easy to figure out point values. Still need to work on dinners. It isn't so much what we are eating as me controlling the portion sizes, so nothing has changed there.

Today is Monday...this past weekend didn't go so well. We ate out (or ordered delivery) three times. I didn't order a side salad instead of fries at Swiss Chalet Friday night. McDonald's for lunch on Saturday I did have a Thai Chicken Salad (okay, not bad...grilled chicken 7 points) and well...we won't discuss the pizza, garlic bread and wings Sunday night. I have no will power. NONE! AUGH! On going struggle in that regard. Working on it. Weekends are a whole different animal now that I am back at work. I worked like a fiend on the housework Saturday. Sunday we did some running around that needed done that we couldn't do during the week. Hopefully as we figure out a routine there will be less eating out and more cooking.

I didn't get to the gym today on my lunch (obvious since I'm sitting here writing this now). Got half way there and realized I forgot my gym card...so I will be going Tuesday, Thursday and Friday this week. Besides, I have aerobics tonight and Zumba Wednesday...all bases are covered.

Weigh in is in two days. Hopefully I'll still be able to lose considering I've at the very least upped my activity....if not, I'll know why and hopefully that'll be the kick in the ass I need on weekends.
