238.5 Down 4 pounds so far! :-)
It's Saturday. I've had 2 excellent days. Wednesday was good until I ate a package of graham crackers. :-( I know that I need to have supper ready to go when I get home so I don't graze and snack getting it ready. Also that once I finish eating, clean up the kitchen right away and get out of there! Last night I had a cup of Jello at the end. Satisfied my sweet tooth. Stay out of the kitchen.
I walked Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday! I wore my new tennis shoes yesterday. They felt good. I know 30 minutes isn't enough. I need to keep working up to more minutes. I really would like to say I'm doing 1 hour of exercise a day, eventually. That probably means doing some in the morning...
Lots of prayers to keep me on the right path. I feel God's guidance, like 2 strong hands on my shoulders, pushing me, guiding me, walking with me. I know He's there. I just need to turn to Him when I'm struggling. And praise Him when things go well.
Today: music meeting at 11. Father is making Chicken Tortilla Soup. I might bring some relishes to go with. Then I'm going to Iowa City. I'll be home alone tonight because Dave will be at the KC Hall. Stay on program. Stay out of the kitchen.
Plan meals for Sunday and the week.
Breakfast: Oatmeal, milk, banana, chia
Lunch: Chicken Tortilla Soup
Supper: Chicken stir fry or Chicken fajita, cranberry salad

Down 2 pounds. Can't really say much else. I'm not eating constantly all day long, thanks to being back in school. But I'm not drinking enough water. I'm still overeating at home. Last night--good supper, but didn't need the second slice of bread. And didn't need the crackers and pepper jelly after supper. I started to walk after school. Made it 10 minutes before talking to Janine. :-(
Today: Saturday, home all day except for Kasey's baby shower. Maybe I'll do a walking video. Lots of up and down the stairs putting away Christmas things.
Breakfast: Toast, peanut butter, milk
Lunch: Chicken noodle soup
Supper: Roast beef, potatoes, salad, broccoli
My hands feel puffy this morning. I must be retaining water. Too much salt. Not drinking enough water. I haven't worn my rings since Christmas Eve. Makes me sad.
I could be home today, tomorrow, Monday (extreme cold). If the crackers are bothering me, I'll wrap them up and put them in the car or breezeway to take to the teachers' lounge. I need to try some new recipes for Dave and me from Emily Bites website.
222 days until Austin's wedding. Don't waste even one of those!!

Wow. I never, ever, ever thought I would way this much. Terrible. Terrible for my looks, for my health, for my future. I need to put it behind me and stop beating myself up. Today. New day. New year. New future.
Still too many holiday leftovers. But I will eat moderately. Three solid meals. Lots of water. Planning ahead to tomorrow. Track!!! Plan meals for me and for Dave.
Goals:
Exercise at least once a day. Twice if possible. Walking video or treadmill in morning. 5:00 to 5:45 set aside for dressing, exercising. Then breakfast, shower, get ready for the day. Leave for school earlier.
Evenings at home: No Facebook/iPad until 9:00. Do something when I get home! Accomplish something. Work on cleaning, preparing supper, school work, grading, preparing, reading. Do something active.
Drink more water.
Track!
Prepare food for lunches and suppers for Dave and me.
Eat at table. Then leave table/kitchen.
Clean kitchen. Clean off table and counters.
Plan ahead.
Be active.
Drink water.
Eat more veggies and fruit.
