I have been busy running around for the past few days and haven't had a chance to hit the grocery store or stick to my planned meals. This means I have been straying a little and have not had nearly as many fruits or veggies as I had hoped. I'm starting to have fruit/veg withdrawal! As much as I hate to do it, I will be hitting the grocery store tomorrow. I HATE shopping on Saturdays. But, a fat girl's gotta suck it up sometimes I guess.

Weigh in 5/25/10



Hi peeps.
It's weigh in time.
197.4
Woohoo!
That's a loss of 2.2 this week and 3.6 overall.
I feel really good about this past week. I planned all my meals except for the weekend where I had social outings. That's pretty darn good.
Last night, I went out with MB and some friends to play trivia and hang out. We both ate bar food and felt pretty miserable afterwards. Our week of eating healthy has paid off in that respect.
I am going to go ahead and post my food for Tuesday even though I think I was over my points. It's the last day of the week and I really didn't make an effort to count points for my dinner.
Fat Club Fail. I know.
Anyweigh, I will be continuing with meal planning this week and will be incorporating exercise also. I don't think I'm going to count activity points though. We'll see how it works out.

I had a visit from the parents today which is always nice. It also usually tends to send me off track. They come up to visit and insist on buying dinner somewhere. My Mom is very into comfort foods so that's what we often end up getting.
The bonus to their visit is that I have made them both addicts of the local farmer's market. They are hooked on the fresh produce and low, low prices. It's so cute. I got to stock up on fruits and veggies and they insisted on paying. Yay!
Anyweigh, on with the stats for the day.
Hope you all had a great weekend.
