Back in the saddle again

So its been a couple weeks since I updated. I have been doing ok. Last week I was ready to update even tho I had gained 2 lbs. But Tuesday night I just had a little breakdown. Apparently the gain bothered me more than I knew. Everyone was trying to be encouraging, "Oh its probably muscle" but I just figured out that it was my vacation catching up with me. Then the more I thought about it, I never eat before I go to the Weight Watchers meeting but last Monday I bbq'd hamburgers and ate it just before I walked out the door. So it was just sitting there in my stomach NOT digested but solid in my body. So tonight I am NOT going to eat before the meeting so that I can get an accurate weight. So it was kind of a hard week for me. The last two Monday nights I have come down with a bad migraine. I get depressed when I am sick. So that kinda kicked the week off to a bad start. I hadnt been to the gym since the Monday before so for a little over a week I hadnt gone. But Wednesday morning I made myself get up and go. It felt good. I hurt after but it was a good hurt. The rest of the week I tried to have a better attitude. I went to the gym again Thursday. Friday morning I didnt go cause me, Alena and Elizabeth were planning to hike Cowles Mountain. But I came home from work, walked in the door, said "Hi" to my roommate, walked straight into my room and fell asleep. It had been such a hard week emotionally, mentally and physically. I slept for a few hours since Elizabeth and Alena were not getting off on time. It was too dark to hike so we just stayed in and watched some shows I had recorded throughout the week.

Saturday morning was a nice treat. I woke up to rain and wind. It has not done that in about 6+ months. It was cold out, stayed in my pj's and watched some tv. Did lots of laundry. Was really in the mood to bake but dont like to do that alone. So I just got caught up on all my shows from the previous week and did laundry. Saturday night me, Alena, Eric, Elizabeth & Barry went to Shalespear's Pub, had dinner and drinks and then we to the National Comedy Theater. It was so much fun and we all lauhged really hard. Came home and was bored outta my mind so I watched some TV and went to bed about midnight.

Sunday I slept in til 10 and let me tell you, that is REALLY sleeping in for me. I am usually up by 645-700 on a non gym day and on a gym day I am up between 500-530am. So 10am is late for me. But it was nice, I was feeling poopy so I just got up, layed on the couch, did some cleaning, killing of ants and then took a shower... where I proceeded to fall. I banged up my kneecap pretty bad, it really hurts. I couldnt believe I did that, I just lost my footing. All I could think of was "Help, I've Falled and Cant Get Up!!!" I slammed my shoulder against the tile wall, my hip and my knee agains the bottom of the tub. Then slid and whacked my knee on the side of the tub. Grrr... I got out and put ice on it for a while and relaxed on the couch. Then last night we went to meeting and then out to dinner after, there were 18 of us that went. At first it was just going to be my roommate, her sister and my cousin, but then my sister and brother in law came and then Rachel told me that we were invited to go to Friday's for dinner with a group. So we went there. It was a lot of fun. Friday's isnt in the Weight Watchers Eating Out Guide so my cousin and I split a meal. We did the three course for $16.99 and had Jack Daniel's Chicken, Shrimp, potatoes and veggies. It came with an appetizer which we got the green bean fries. Then it came with a dessert, we got the mousse in the shot glass, so it was a nice tiny dessert, just enough actually.

So today, I had a Weight Watchers Carmel Apple muffin. Its a new flavor I guess, couldnt even find it on eTools. It was so good. Then about a half an hour ago I had a 100 calorie pack of the kettle korn, soo good!!! Tonight is Weight Watchers. I am going to go into it with a good attitude, stay positive and we will see what the numbers are. Until tomorrow.....
