Accountability: Diet and Exercise for Monday, July 28th

I have a confession.    I've been bad......very, very bad over the last couple of months!  I have been very inconsistent with my food selections.  One day will be good and the next day is a free for all!!  That coupled with the fact that over the last couple of months I have exercised VERY little means my scale is laughing at me!!

I won't use Richard as an excuse but it was easier when I was doing this ALONE.  Now that we both are supposed to be following the same rules and seeing him not do so has my warped mind thinking I can do it too!! 

Well, NO MORE!!! 

Today we BOTH started out with a new attitude.  Richard got up and went jogging while I made the coffee and his lunchbox (I'm June Cleaver w/o the pearls) with healthy choices.  Once Gracie was awake and acting human, she and I went up to the YMCA and I did a FULL WORKOUT!!!  I did back off my cardio to 30 minutes as I am going to go 5 times this week (did I mention that my scale is laughing?).

I'm scheduled for a fill next week (Tuesday) and would like to see the scale back to my low point of 193 by then (I'm 5 pounds up from there right now).  If I can get things turned around by then I might push the fill back by a couple of weeks.

Ok, now that I have that out in the open I feel MUCH better!!

Good job.  I was doing well until I went to New Orleans.  The food is not skinny food nor are the drinks.  I recomend anyone planning a visit to avoid the Hand Granaide  as it will blow up in your face.  Taste good but 1/2 hour after your done, your done.  I couldn't even drink the water YUCK.  THe place smells like a dirty trash can.  It was much better 8 years ago during my last visit.  Although staying in the heart of the French Quarter I did alot of walking.  Boubon St was only 2 block away.  Had the granaide the first time on Bourbon , made sure I didn't go back.  Becky I wish you the best along with Mr. Entertainment.  I too am tired of my scale laughting.  Amy K

     I ate alot of brownies  cause I was sad yesterday!!!

  I feel better now that I confessed.
Dawn

Ya think New Orleans is still recovering from Katrina?  I would have thought the first areas to be redone would have been the tourist areas since it's such a huge industry for them.  I've heard though the the summertime is the most "fragrant" time of the year!  I'm sure there were some really cool tihngs there too though!  I love seafood and cajun flavorings so I'd have come back packing a few extra pounds!!

I'm glad you're back though!  Lee Ann and I were wondering where you were!!

Amy...glad to see you are back! Hope you got to enjoy the sight since the tastes did not seem to go so well! Dawn......been there done that! We all have our moments! I actually had a beer last night when i got home and things settled down!  Stress stress and alot of sadness......but today is a new day and I was semi good......
