Bummer...It happens though.

Hello friends!

Happy Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday and I'm so ready for the weekend. I am taking a half day off tomorrow to go to a graduation from Texas A&M. It will be nice to leave work early, but I have so much work to do it's going to make me stressed out!!

Well, the scale yesterday was not what I would have liked. I stayed at exactly the same weight....??? Bummer. I thought I was really good all week, but I DID lose 3 lbs the week before, maybe it's just my body evening things out....or maybe I ate something salty that I'm not counting. Either way, I was bummed but NOT discouraged! I just chalk it up to "It Happens" and move on. This week I have more incentive to be EXTRA good so I'll definitely lose next weigh in.

Speaking of EXTRA good, I have been quite lazy when it comes to exercising lately. Yes, I know. It's bad! I need to exercise regularly, and with it so HOT outside it's just hard to get my lazy bum off the couch in my nice cool apartment to go work out! So tonight I forced myself to put on the work out clothes, and go to the gym. I was in the midst of my elyptical interval workout (see notes in my previous blog "Elyptical Maddness") when I began to feel like I was going to pass out, or blow chunks. Either one is not fun. So I decided to get off the machine and take a breather, and got on the treadmill just to do a slow walk. Normally I can do 30 minutes on the elyptical no problem. Not today! I had to quit the treadmill too. So weird. I just figured I should listen to my body and not continue. Maybe it was because I ate before I went to work out? Most of the time I work out before dinner....

Anyway. So my moving efforts today didn't get me very far...except for getting off the couch! Better luck Saturday morning, when I plan on working out to offset the dinner I have planned at Perry's Steakhouse!!

I did well with points today, I actually still have one left but I'm just not feeling that well! Here's what I ate:

Breakfast:
Thomas 100 calorie english muffin - 1 pt.

Lunch:
Leftover WW friendly hamburger, w/o cheese - 5 pts.
Pringles Light FF Chips - 1 pt.

Afternoon snack:
1 cup grapes - 1 pt.
WW String Cheese - 1 pt.

Dinner:
Don't laugh at me, I'm a creature of habit, and also a creature on a budget!! I had ANOTHER hamburger! LOL. Hey gotta use up your leftovers! It was good though. This time I had it WITH cheese! - 6 pts.
2 red potatoes - 2 pts.

Dessert:
Weight Watchers Drumstick (YUMMMM) - 2 pts.

I think I'll have some grapes for my final point for the day. Another 2 fruit servings will be good for me - maybe make me feel better!!

Well friends, I'm going to get my grapes and crawl into bed. Need to get up early and get to work early tomorrow since I'm leaving early!

Stay motivated. Don't let one week, one day, or one meal get you down or discouraged. Keep going! I am! Until next time, happy life, happy eating!!
