To go or Not to go ... to the Casino.

At home weight: 213.8/Last WI: 216.2

THURSDAY

Well, I missed a couple days of update. Tuesday was busy and yesterday I was just lazy. As for WW days, I was very good Monday. Erik had his son Monday and Tuesday this week,. so we had a quiet night at home. I didn't get to the gym, but only ate 27 points so that was good. Tuesday was another quiet day at home. Another day I didn't exercise, but I did use a few flex points. I want to vary my days 'a la' wendie plan. So Tuesday I had 46 points.

That leaves yesterday where I was VERY good. I had a balance bar for breakfast (4 pts) some soup (4 pts) and popcorn (2 pts) for lunch, some light chips (3 pts) for a snack, and a large salad (10 pts) for dinner. That's only 24 points. And I went 5 miles outside for 7 AP. Thus the low weight on the scale this morning.

I was very happy with my 5 mile run/walk yesterday. Last week when I tried that route, I ran a total of 28 minutes and walked a total of 35 minutes. This time I ran 34 minutes and walked 26 minutes - shaving a total of 3 minutes off the total time, and running 6 more minutes. I'm getting stronger. My goal is to run this very hilly route, straight through, by the end of the summer. I think I can do it and I'll be a lot stronger if I can. Maybe I'll even get it up to 6 miles.

So I have WI today, which means I'm chugging water and diet coke until about 12:30 then I cut it off for my 5:00 pm weigh in.

This weekend's plans are up in the air. Erik and I have reservations in Biloxi for the weekend with tickets to a Chris Cagle concert and a bull riding competition on Friday and Saturday repsectively. We're really not sure if we're going yet, as neither of us can afford it really, but we really like going. I haven't been to Biloxi since Katrina, and I'd really like to go. I know financially I shouldn't, but I really want to! Hopefully I can talk Erik into it.

Today I had an 8 pt breakfast. I usually have a larger one on WI day b/c it has to last me through lunch, but I just wasn't that hungry this morning. I might have some popcorn before lunch so I don't get too starving before WI, but I'm worried about the sodium and retaining water. We'll see.

Hope to see a good loss today!
