A busy end to an even busier week. Getting caught up with emails and paperwork, and a run to pick up my contact lenses. a visit from my favorite niece and a fun lunch out. the place Little Big Burger is fun, sort of Ikea like in design with great little burgers and fries. Oh darn I should have taken a pic of the burger, ok next time.

I tracked it all, even the “empty” calories in the evening, and drank all that extra water ….

According to Dr. Oz we need to drink half our weight in ounces of water, oh my I have a lot of water to drink.

It is great to be back on track. Last night was my grandson’s Spring High School Concert, the students played great and by is the kid growing up fast…

The tracker is back. I have been swamped with work and my tracking has suffered. Yesterday was the start of my new week and I was able to get everything in and tracked.

Meeting Room Update

Larry — Wed, 23 May 2012 18:57:51 +0000

For the record I am up 1.8 pounds. This was to be expected as I have not been tracking consistently. Well it is a new week and a great start for tracking.

This weeks topic is “Spice it Up “. I do not have a problem with spicing things up for my meals. However others might think I over do the heat.

Friends and Followers,

I have been really busy with work and I have not tracked this week. Today I sat down and started tracking, because I know that the only way for me to be accountable is to track and post.

A perfect Sunday, it was warm and spent sometime oust side before it got too hot. Called my Mom for mothers day and had a good conversation with her. Tracking went well I did have a few more empty calories, but all was accounted for and tracked.

This was my day to do mostly nothing. I did a few chores around the house, got my errands and laundry finished. I even put the screen in the front door. Then I spent the day reading. A great Saturday!!

Turned out to be a busy Friday. After work I had to fight with my insurance company to find an eye Doctor that would take my insurance as it was getting near the time for more contact lens. What a hassle! Got it taken care of and went out for some great Mexican food and of course a couple of margaritas. It was worth the extra points.

For the I did weigh-in yesterday and i broke that plateau I was on for 6 weeks and I am down finally! It was not easy and sometimes frustrating when the scale does not budge but I stuck to the program.

Work has been very busy and it also helps that I bring my food with me so no snacking and eating regular meals keeps me from over eating at dinner. The activity was great and I took the stairs instead of the elevator.
