Too bad

It's too bad that today was not my official weigh-in day as the scale showed me down another 1.5 pounds this morning. I guess the exercise is finally going to catch up with me. I'm happy to have the scale moving downward again and I'm still hopeful I can reach 399 by the end of the month. It's a stretch but if I have a really good week this week and then a good couple days, I can do it!

I walked with my DVD friend Leslie this morning. I managed to log a total of 19 aerobic minutes. Woo hoo! When I was finished, I was so proud of myself. I was proud because I was so ready to quit at one point. I started to tell myself things like "keep going" and "you can do this" and "don't you dare give up now". Then I look and there is the .75 mark. I figured I only had .25 to go so there was no reason to stop so on I went. It was well worth it!

I also rolled around on my fitness ball today. I did one set of twelve push-ups. Gosh it was a challenge. I almost smacked the floor with my forehead once. I managed to catch myself, and remain on the ball, in the nick of time. I also got stuck once and had to have Tim come pull me back up. I was laughing so hard that there was no way I was going to be able to get back to start page without his help. Good thing he was right there!

Went out for lunch and ended up consuming 130 calories I didn't count on. I ordered a grilled chicken bacon ranch salad at McDonald's and asked twice for the balsamic dressing. Tim wanted Arby's so I picked up the salad on the way. Get to Arby's and they had given me the ranch salad dressing at McDonald's. UGH! The dressing I wanted has only 40 calories. This one had 170. Damn! I really hate when I'm not there and can't make them fix the mistake. So I used the ranch dressing and learned a valuable lesson. When going to this particular McD's, check the bag BEFORE I drive away!

I made a nice pot of veggie soup for dinner. It's been in the crock pot since early this morning and the aroma is wonderful. I can't wait to have some later. It's going to be a nice dinner. I'm not a fan of veggie soup, but once in a while I get a craving for it. It's been cold and I'm looking forward to it.

Okay ... I'm rambling. Hope everyone's having a great day!
