Today was filled with recovering kids and parents from a long week. This recovery was mixed with tons of laundry dishes and other chores. I probably could have went to work out today, but I just didn’t have it in me.
I am packing up for the Monday Spin class and hope to get back on track this week. The first 4 weeks of the Biggest Loser contest were great. Lately, I haven’t been into it at all. I’ve been eating badly and my trainer workouts have become more stressful than beneficial as I try to learn more about the exercises and find a way for timely documentation. I’m considering a break from training with a trainer to regroup.
No food post will be done today. Quite frankly, I ate way too much food in general and didn’t really keep track of it. It will be the first day that I didn’t at least make a guess. I’m kind of bummed in a way, but I also just needed to allow myself a break.
My husband is taking the leftover birthday cupcakes to work tomorrow, most of the other party food is gone and the kitchen is almost back to normal.
I’m making some yummy (hopefully) chicken noodle soup and have the ingredients for pasta salad. This combined with a new batch of cashew butter, plenty of clementines and grapes should help me have a good start to the week.
I did make it to weigh in at Weight Watchers yesterday. I didn’t have time to stay for the meeting and they were out of weekly flyers, so I don’t even know what the topic was. I was up 3.6 pounds, although a good deal of that was jeans instead of my light goucho pants that I usually wear to weigh in.
Lyn,
My biggest piece of advice to you is…never wear jeans to weigh in!! Even if you have to quickly change into your light weigh-in outfit before you get to the scale it is so worth it!!! Maybe just keep it in your trunk so you always have it?
It’s okay. You had a bad food day. It is over. Done. What is most important is what you do next. You don’t have to be perfect. You might want to write down what you ate today just for you…just to say you did it and to know how you want to do things differently tomorrow.
The topic of yesterday’s meeting was emotional eating which was perfect for me! I’ve been struggling with late night snacking that seems to be linked with the tv. I’m going to try to pay more attention to my true hunger this week.
Keep your chin up, girl. Keep your eye on the prize and make it a great week!

I get the jeans thing. It was one of those weeks where I needed to run in and out and didn’t even think about it. Thanks for the encouragement.
