ok, i'm back today

so, i've been missing in action the last few days, been battling with getting back on track.  no ww for 2 weeks, gainned a few lbs. trying to get those off by Friday's weigh in.  BUT, on a good note, I got a new pair of pants and the 14's were huge so I had to get a 12, so that is my second pair of 12's which means i'm def in a 12.  i guess the whole loosing inches and no weight is still working.  But they are a little tight around the waist, i need to drop a few lbs. for Sat. so i'm trying to get going here.  I did start swimming and walking again.  my feel, knees and hips are killing me.  going to go and mee a personal trainner for MLM on Sunday, and I can work along with him.  there is also a "LIquid Toning" class at the Pineland pool we plan on trying.  so I dont even have to do the same exercise twice a week.  won't get bored that way.

so today I have to p/u some paperwork at MLM's dr. he has a meeting at 10, I want to go tanning and try to get in a small 20 min walk in there somewhere.  FIrst I need to get my ass moving.

This 2nd day of eating is so wonderful.  Everything is all new again.

Looks like about 1350 cals and 140g of protein (too many carbs though!  oh well!) I can't wait until those PB filled pretzels are gone!   (140 cals, 5g of protein!!!  YIKES!!!  and ADDICTIVE as all get out!!!!!!!!)
Let's see if I can NOT add anything else to the mix tonight as I am watching Survivor and CSI!  YIKES!

Enjoy this warmer weather while it lasts!!!!

I hope that you find some relief from the pain soon.  I know how difficult it can make it to exercise.
