Tough Week

Last WI: 212.8/At Home WI: 217.4 (drinking last night...)

TUESDAY

Well, I haven't blogged in four days, and I haven't really been all that good. Friday I was bad - I had wings for lunch and bar food for dinner. Saturday I was relatively good. I ate at home. I cooked a good WW recipe - hamburger casserole - for the boys. I ended up over about 6 points for the day. The really bad thing was I didn't exercise at ALL. Stupid. Sunday was better. I did get out and run/walk for 40 minutes, earning 4 APs and ate only my target points plus the 4 APs. Yesterday I fell again. It turns out certain friends are just bad influences when it comes to weight loss.

I work with a friend named Holly. She works in a different office than me, but we have the same boss - the DA. Well, the DA is planning this banquet for law enforecement officers in a couple of weeks. Holly called me late Sunday night to ask if I wanted to join her in taking some photos on Monday of local officers for our slide show at the banquet. I agreed, and met her at her office Monday morning. Well, she is my "skinny" friend who never has to worry about weight. When lunch rolled around she invited me to join her and her boyfriend at wings 'n things - a wing/burger joint. Well, there's not a lot of healthy choices there, and I generally am just bad at making good decisions with her and at that type of restaurant, so I ended up ordering the burger with cheese and tater tots. And we split an order of fried mushrooms. Boo.

After lunch we finished up our photos, and other errands for the banquet and I went shopping. I stocked up my fridge with lots of good food, but also bought snacks for last night's Monday night poker league game, that we were hosting. I tried to mix good with bad, chips and salsa as well as some boiled shrimp. I ended up not having a real dinner after my lunch splurge and basically grazed all night on the snacks. Not good. I also had too much alcohol, beer and wine. Not good. Thus why this morning's WI was bad.

Today so far, I've been ok and made some good choices. I had a balance bar for breakfast, and then had to run to the jail for preliminary hearings. My breakfast just didn't stick with me through the morning, so I had 2 mini muffins that the judge had brought in. Bad. Lunch I went to burger king and ordered the tender crisp chicken sandwich w/o the sauce. Not bad. I also had some light chips. Not bad. I'm still hungry though - Bad. I desparately need some exercise tonight but I'm so tired. I didn't get to sleep last night until after 2:00 am because of the poker game (which I didn't cash in by the way) and a ridiculously random discussion about religion I had with Erik starting at midnight. I definitely shouldn't get into philosophical discussions when I'm drunk. Note to self.

Anyway, I'm not sure what tonight holds, but I'm definitely planning on staying home, eating GOOD - lots of veggies, and REALLY trying to get myself motivated to work out.

Here's hoping.
