A little discouraged

Tuesday, September 10, 2013

Today started off excellently!  I got up and met Lois up at the Bethel Walk Path and we walked the path in just over half an hour.  33 minutes, to be exact.  I was so proud.  It used to take me around 45 minutes, at the very least.

After the walk, I had to go down to both Walgreen's and WalMart, so I got my WalMart Walk in today, also.  I treated myself to lunch at Bob Evans while I was out.  It's been a while since I had done that.  I had fully expected that my wonderful Chicken Salad Plate had gone bye-bye on Labor Day, but they still had it!  Yay!  I was pleased!  I enjoyed every bite, let me tell you.  I was just a bit bad, spreading strawberry jelly on my first slice of banana nut bread.  It was good, too!

After getting home and getting the car unloaded, and then getting the perishables put away, I finally got on the computer and got my games caught up.  I played on the computer all afternoon - I even went on myfitnesspal.com and made a NEW exercise.  The WalMart Walk.  Yes, I did.  I said it took an hour, and burned 100 calories.  LOL  Why not, right?

Then, it was time to go to my TOPS meeting - and Ron wasn't even home from work yet!  He did pull in as I was plugging my phone in to charge as I was driving uptown, so I am glad he is home.  I got to speak to him for a minute or two before leaving.  Told him what was for supper (salad) and when to make it (8, as usual) if he's not asleep, and off I went.  I felt good.  I knew I had eaten like a pig over Labor Day weekend, but last Tuesday, I had still lost almost half a pound, and I had really ramped up my exercise and stuff this week.  I got there, and weighed in.  I GAINED almost a pound!  Not quite, which was good, but, boy, did that ruin my day.  I couldn't believe it!  I was sure I had worked off what last weekend had caused, but I guess not.  Phooey!

After I got home from my meeting, Ron did have our salads done, so I got back on the computer and watched TV, and ate my supper, with a banana for dessert.  And now, here it is, 2 am already.  I think I should probably go to bed.

Today gets five stars for both food and exercise.  I was under on my calories and got plenty of exercise for a change!  Whoo!
