I brought Bayou to daycare this morning and then came home and went back to bed. I decided to skip the WW meeting at 10am. Lisa called me around then but I didn't answer because I was in bed. Once I got up I listened to her message. I knew she was calling about going walking (which she was) so I got ready to walk and then called her back. We met up at Palmer Park at 11:15am and walked the small loop. It only takes about 10 minutes to do that loop but I was happy that I was doing it again this week. It was pretty nippy up there today. I had on a jacket which helped but my ears just about froze off today. It was about 50 degrees but windy. I did just fine walking. We kept a slow, steady pace where I could talk while walking. It went by really fast since Lisa and I were chatting. Hooray for walking!!
I think I'm going to just go to one meeting a week for now. When I tried to WI on Wednesday I couldn't because Pat messed up my check in on Monday. She was supposed to check me in as a visitor but didn't so I couldn't officially weigh in on Wednesday. Having to check in at meetings is becoming a pain so I just might not go to other meetings. I'll just stick with my Wednesday evening meeting. Plus, now that the leaders all have the same flip chart to do the meeting, it is getting to be a bit repetitive. I don't mind hearing the weekly topic 3 times but I could do without it and be okay. I know I can always go to a meeting if I need one so it's not like I'm keeping myself from what I need. I'll try it and see how it goes. I can always go back to multiple meetings if I need to.
I gained .2 last week. I'm not surprised because I was eating a lot of junk. I'm going to use that small gain as motivation to make better choices and to get out there and walk as much as I'm able to this week. I don't want to over do on the walking though because then I won't be able to walk at all and that would be bad. I really want to reach that 20 lbs. lost mark and I'm not going to do it by gaining weight (duh!). So I'm going to try to plan out meals for a few days to get through the Memorial Day weekend. I have a tough time on weekends anyway and now I have an extra day to add on to that because of the holiday. I'm hoping that by planning out meals that it will help.
I don't think I'm going to shop for a week at a time though. I end up wasting too much food when I do that. I may try shopping 2 times a week and see how that goes. That way too I won't have to plan out meals for a whole week. That's a daunting task for me. I can do a few days but planning out a whole week and then shopping for it is just too hard for me right now. I'll try shopping 2 times a week and see how that goes. What I'm doing now isn't working so I have to try something different.
I need to go to the grocery store but I'm not sure if I'll go today or tomorrow. Tonight we'll have egg noodles and steak for David and chicken for me (it's what I had in the freezer). I'll slice up some cucumber and tomato to go with it. That will be a nice dinner. I'll need to plan out a few days meals so I'll know what to get at the store. I have stuff here for BLT's, crescent dogs and spaghetti. That would take care of dinners through the long weekend. I'm sure there's a few things I'll need to get at the store but just can't think of them right now. A kitchen inventory is in order! David will probably want to grill out on Monday because of the holiday so I'll have to have stuff for that. Must put together a grocery list.
I only did a 10 minute walk but I'm tired from doing it. Just goes to show me how out of shape I am. I'm grateful though that I could to the walk today with Lisa. I know it wasn't much of a workout for her so I'm thankful for her taking the time to walk with me anyway. I'll see how I'm feeling in the morning and decide then if I want to try walking again tomorrow or wait until Sunday. I have no reason to push myself. I don't want to aggravate my knee. I feel good after today's walk, just tired. I'm glad I got my lazy butt out of bed and called Lisa back. It was a healthy choice.
Later.
