This smoothie in a beer glass! And I still had half a glass left after I finished the first.
Yum Yum Yum! I've tracked every day so far this week.
Tonight my roommate and I danced (and did cardio) for 40 minutes to the pop hits of Just Dance 3!

I have a case of the weight gain blues
A brief synopsis of the last few weeks:
Vegas was very, very fun. It was very hard to resist all the drinks (so I didn't) and although I tried to make good choices food at restaurants but I did not do as well as I wanted to. I did swim a bunch and I tried to walk as much as I could. (Including by accident.) Gained weight=expected but still sad.
Meetings and catching up with work before going into tech for the opera. Since Easter was on a Sunday and they closed WW, I didn't get to go to my normal meeting. I went to weight in on Saturday with wet hair, which I know never to do but I was concerned that if I didn't go to WW I wouldn't go at all that week, didn't really track and didn't really try. gained weight=kinda expected but really a bummer.(Mostly due to my wet hair, but psychologically it didn't read that way.) Went for a hike for the resolution and walked a bit.
Tech for a really fun, good project but we had no time in the theatre and I was super, super tired the entire week. So tired that I forgot to eat lunch one day which is something I am super careful not to do, because it is very easy to work and work and work and forget to eat. (I maybe do it once a year.) I didn't track and was totally stressed so I "took the week off" then I hung out with a friend who moved back to town and really took the week off, we had french fries and a frenet root beer float for snack. I do not regret it but I do not need to do that again. I walked some but not as much as I wanted because of the rain. gained weight=not surprised but not helping with the weight loss goal or the morale.
I briefly talked to my leader today and I am trying to have a good attitude but I am sad about this gaining. I am maybe extra sad because I tend to get to around 25lbs of weight loss and then give up and never get to goal. I think this time this is related to bad timing of the vacation and work stress and it is all coincidence. However, I keep thinking about my past and beginning to beat myself up about my slacking.
Today's topic was adding color to your plate. I came home and made a scramble with collard greens and broccoli. It was great! For lunch I get to eat ravioli with tomato and bell pepper sauce, which I made last night. Full of color! Ground turkey was on sale last week, so I need to look up some recipes that don't involve pasta since that is all I can think of to do with the ground turkey. Maybe I will make the South African Meatloaf again. Or I kind of want to make regular meatloaf.
I need to let the past be and recommit for this week, just this week. My resolution this week is to track every day and fulfill my exercise points goal for the week. That is all. I can do this and if I keep tracking, I will feel better and loose weight.
