My battery light came on again when I was dropping Bayou off at doggie daycare. I decided to get it checked out today instead of constantly being worried about it. Since I wasn't sure if I'd get to my meeting tonight I went and weighed in this morning. I weighed in at 276. Down 2.6 lbs and I made it to the 20 lbs lost mark!! I'm down 22.4 lbs. total. I was really excited. The receptionist asked if I wanted a sticker and I told her no, that I'd be back later. I figured that if I couldn't make it back for the 5:30pm meeting I'd just get it next week.
I stopped by Aspen Auto Works and had them look at the car. Even though all the tests they ran on the starting system came back normal they still wanted to charge me $854 to put a new alternator in it. I called David and he told me to call Neil at Neil's Automotive. So I came home and called Neil. He said that it's probably a diode and not a problem, that I shouldn't worry about it. He told me that if it end up being the alternator that he can change it out for less than $300. For now I'm not going to worry about it. If it gives me problems, like starting issues, then I'll take it to Neil.
Now that I know the car isn't an issue I can plan on going to my 5:30pm meeting and celebrating my 20 lbs lost. I'll get my sticker tonight. I'm excited about that and about being half way to the 25 lbs lost mark.
I think from now on I will weigh in on Wednesday morning and then go to the 5:30pm meeting. That way I'll be at my lowest weight for the day and be able to eat regularly the rest of the day instead of holding off on not eating to get a good weigh in. I can celebrate my scale and non scale victories at the 5:30pm meeting.
My daily points went down by 1 so I'm at 40 now. So I have 40 daily points and 49 weekly points. I don't use the AP's (activity points) that I earn during the week. You can swap them out for food points if you want to but I don't usually do that.
My back is still hurting so I'm going to get steroid injections on Friday. I'm hoping to get back to walking by next Friday, maybe sooner. I'll ask Dr. Jenks when he things I can get back to walking again. It felt good to walk a mile but I'm not sure if that's what caused my back pain. I don't want to have back pain so I'll need to be careful. I'll do the 1/2 mile loop and see how I feel. If my back bothers me I'll leave it at that. If it's okay I'll probably do the mile. I'll just have to see how it goes.
I'm so excited to have lost 2.6 lbs this past week. I didn't eat all my meals the last 2 days because my back was hurting so I'm sure that's why I showed such a big loss. As soon as I got home today though I ate my breakfast. I've got to figure something out for dinner. I have my meeting and David has golf. I can either get something to pick up or go by the store. I don't really want to walk at the store today though. I'll have to decide before I go pick up Bayou.
That's it for now. Good day!
