Back to the diet....

Just got back yesterday from our long awaited trip to Mexico and had a great time! We ate & drank pretty much non-stop and now I have to get back to my healthy eating. We did walk A LOT....the place was huge, so I still got some exercise, but apparently not enough. Weighed myself this morning....136! I gained almost 7 pounds!! Ouch! But the trip was worth it, so I'll just get back into my routine to try to get rid of the extra pounds over the next few weeks.

Weight: 129.2
Weighing in one day early since we are leaving tomorrow morning (FINALLY!). Looks as if my body wasn't play tricks last week. :o) Weekend wasn't too bad, but could have been better. I missed my walk on Thursday-Sunday. As busy as I was last night, I still managed to fit in a 20 minute walk. It will be interesting to see how much I gain over the next week. Once we get back, I'll have to start keeping a better log of things and also start concentrating on toning the rest of me as well as my regular walking.

I'm a Spaz....

Okay, you don't have to agree.... Anyway, I am going through my "spaz out" phase with less than a week until vacation!! I am either not liking things that I previously bought, can't decide what goes with what, if I have enough clothes, if the clothes I have are the right "attire", etc. Soooo...I am shopping, shopping and shopping some more. Plus freaking out about the time I have. I think I am just worrying too much. Part of the problem was that I tried on several things that I previously bought over the last month within the hour Sunday of eating Chinese. I was so bloated and things just weren't looking right, so I thought I had to buy more things.... Tonight I tried on some new things, plus the old ones (that I tried on Sunday night) and things were looking better. Now...I lie the old things and need to return some of the new things....I think. I just can't make a decision! Why do I do this to myself? I did this last time too. (I'm juat gonna have to stick with the swimsuits though...LOL!) I'm a spaz!

It's a miracle....

Weight: 130.2
Holy cow! I couldn't believe my eyes....I had to re-weigh 3 times to see if that was correct. It just doesn't make any sense that this was one of my worst weeks as far as eating goes and getting less exercise (besides the week in Chicago) and I still lost. And not just lost, but lost more than I normally do. I don't get it, but I'll take it... :o) Let's just hope that my body is not fooling me this morning. Next week I'll weigh in on Tuesday since we are leaving on Wednesday morning, then I'll weigh the day after we get back (Thursday of the next week). Then I can see how much I gained while being gone...LOL!

Had a bad week & weekend.....Besides the alcohol over the weekend (Friday & Saturday), I didn't do toooo bad on the eating part, but Sunday was the worst as far as eating goes. We had McDonald's for breakfast and Chinese for dinner (however that's all I ate). I ate the left over Chinese for lunch today because I couldn't find anything else that sounded better than that.. Bad I know. Last week, I had a few days that I ate things I shouldn't have as well. I can already tell that I am going to have a gain this week and it kills me that I let go toooo much right before our trip. Plus, I didn't walk Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday (I usually get in my walk on Thursday and Saturday most of the time). Other than the left overs today, I've been eating what I am supposed to and I'll make sure I really stick to it over the next week until next Tuesday night. (With the exception of a possible few cocktails over this next weekend....) I walked for 20 minutes this afternoon and will do my regular walk this evening before bed. :o)

Weight: 133.4
Lost what I had gained last week, better than nothing. I was hoping for a pound so that I could say that I lost 10 since I started blogging and keeping track of what I eat. Maybe next week.
As I said from the beginning, this is a slow process because I am not going to give up my "weekends". Slow is better than nothing... :o)

This weekend wasn't that great as far as the "diet" goes. I didn't make my walk on Friday night as planned, but did walk on Saturday morning. I didn't eat much during the day on Saturday before the party and didn't eat too terrible at the party either. It was just the drinking part that wasn't good. Then on Sunday, I didn't eat anything until I had a small snack (crab meat) at about 4:00. It was our lazy day, besides me taking time to go to Chesterfield for a little bit to visit New York & Co and H&M. That evening neither of us wanted to go to the store or find something to eat....so, we ordered pizza. Bad, bad, bad.....
Monday and today were back on track and I walked last night and plan to walk again this evening. Tomorrow is weigh-in day, so we'll see. The bad part is that today I am already starting to get that "bloated" feeling for what will be coming up next week....
I have been really bad about recording anything on my Weight Watchers online account, hopefully I can get back to that. I think that helps even thought I have been pretty good about blogging about it (up until last week).

Breakfast:
Egg substitutes
fat-free cheddar cheese
the yogurt "concoction" that I made yesterday

Snack:
94% fat-free microwave popcorn

Lunch:
Leftover shrimp & pasta from last night
Chocolate, fat-free, sugar-free pudding made w/ skim milk

Tonight shouldn't be too bad, as I am not having any cocktails. However Mike is making ribs as I type (he went shopping- yes...to the grocery store by himself...so I won't complain that it's not exactly on my "diet"). Anyway, I'm hoping that since I'll be home and not drinking, that I can get a walk in, we'll see.
