No hike today

I didn't go hiking this morning because Bayou woke up with a sore leg and is limping. She didn't go to daycare and I don't want to leave her in her kennel since she's not feeling good. She's nice and comfy, cozy on the couch sleeping and snoring and dreaming. I may just wait until Monday to go hiking. Tomorrow is going to be cold and rainy/snowy. Not good hiking, or driving, weather for me. I will go to the fitness test at Gold's Gym though. It's a bummer that they don't have a pool at the location near me but I could always go to the one up North. It's about a 20 minute drive up there but they have a pool and it looks like it's a much bigger facility. This time of year it's hard for me to make commitments that involve driving though. The PTSD about the driving is as bad as it's ever been. I just have to remind myself that most days the weather is nice here and on the days it's not nice I can always just stay home. It would be nice to have some place to go to though and be around people. I might even make a friend or two.

Today starts my new week. I finished up last week with points left over (from the 49 PPA). I'm going to try harder this week to not use them and to try to only use 42 of my 44 daily points. I won't swap any activity points either. The more I can do those things the more weight I'll lose. I can still eat a lot using 42 points a day. I'm just going to have to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in the meals and not make unhealthy (glazed donut) choices. I am going to get some juices though because I'm still not drinking much water. I don't think I even drink a cup a day. I know that will change when I start hiking. I'll get at least 2 bottles in when I hike. If I can get myself to do other exercise too, I'll want to drink more water. I'll have to ask on the WW forum if anyone has any suggestions, tips or tricks for getting myself to drink more water.

I leave in about an hour to go get weighed in. I'm excited. I hope that when I get on that scale it's below 295 pounds. I'll check in after the weigh in. I may not stay for the meeting because of Bayou. I'll have to see about that. More later.

Unrelated but here's a picture Bayou did at daycare this week:
