I did end up going to King Soopers instead of Target for groceries this week but basically just got the same stuff I would have got at Target. Spent about the same too so no harm no foul. I feel like we'll be stocked up for the next 2 weeks or so. I like getting the shopping done. I did put the chips under the counter so David won't eat them out of the bag (because he thinks there's plenty). I did miss getting a few things because I'm not familiar with KS and even if I was they had recently changed everything around. I heard a lot of people commenting on it.
So it's almost 5pm and I have to do something for dinner. I'm tired so it will have to be fairly easy. I'm thinking I might do scrambled hamburger and mashed potatoes with a tossed salad. But I'm too tired to do it right now. It took me about an hour to do the shopping and get all the groceries in and put up. I have to remember to add that to the activity meter.
I have my appointment at Gold's Gym tomorrow. I'm anxious about going because I'm so overweight but the are a mini camp for The Biggest Loser so I'm sure I won't be the only person there who is overweight. I would be interesting to see what they can offer to a person my size. I'm sure the mini camp costs extra and we don't really have the money for that and I don't really want to do it since I can exercise on my own (hiking basically). I'm sure their equipment is great but I don't know how much I could do at my current activity (or lack there of) level. For $9.95/month it might be worth joining though. I could go to the Briargate club when they have a water class I can attend. Otherwise I could go to the Powers club (unless you have to pick a club). I'm kind of looking forward to it at the same time that I'm anxious about it.
I'm still so psyched about losing 7.4 pounds this week. I want to keep up the tracking, making better choices and starting to work out. I think I can lose more than a pound or 2 a week. Although that would be perfectly fine, I just think I can lose more because I'm starting out at such a high weight. I'm also looking forward to the Wednesday meeting to celebrate. I did check my scale at home and it is the same as the one at Weight Watchers. That will help a lot. I probably won't weigh myself at home a lot though. No real point in that. I'll be able to tell that I'm losing by the way my clothes fit. And hopefully I'll know from my physical health getting better. I forgot to make appointments today with Shellie and Dan but I can do that on Monday. I am sore from grocery shopping so I took 2 pain pills. That will definitely take the edge off.
So, it's the weekend. Usually I have a more difficult time with eating on the weekends so tracking will be very important. I think I eat more because I'm out of my daily routine. I have to stay on track though. There really isn't any reason I can't. I'm a bit anxious about the weather this weekend since they have mentioned snow and I have that appointment at Gold's Gym tomorrow morning. Sometimes I eat more because I'm anxious. I'm going to try to do other things this weekend (read, do homework, clean my art room out) that don't involve food and if I do choose to eat to try to eat fruits and veggies or other power foods. I need to educate myself on the foods that are low value but good for me. I'm sure there is a list on the WW site somewhere.
Bayou seems to be limping less so I'm sure I'll be able to take her to daycare on Monday and then go hiking. I'm hoping one of the things I will learn at Gold's tomorrow is how to schedule working out (at the gym, pool, hiking, qi gong). I don't want to over do but I want to do all that I can to lose weight. I'm not looking to do it too fast but to get all the bang I can for the "buck".
I know I went to a meeting today but I'm already wanting to go to another one. I'm not sure I'll wait until Wednesday to go to another meeting. I might try the Sunday morning meeting. That's the start of the new week for WW and a new topic. I could easily go Sunday, Wednesday and Fridays. At least for now. It's new and I need the support, encouragement and motivation.
