Day 4: Not much to post today. Hope my not having pizza tonight doesn't adversely affect the Redskins tonight (eating pizza = better performance, usually...LOL!) Besides, I need to save the "pizza card" for Bama this year :)
Speaking of pizza, I plan to experiment with those light english muffins I've seen recently to make smaller, individual pizzas and to make my own sauce so they won't have so much salt and sugar in it. Plus I'll have to leave off the pepperoni (sob, sob) and add more veggies. Has anyone done this before? Does it work?

Well, well, well...I got to the gym today expecting to do my water aerobics class and, as I walk in, I find out that the instructor is going to be out for a few weeks due to carpal tunnel surgery...so guess who got to play substitute? ME! LOL! I'd subbed before a few times when she was out of town so it wasn't hard (and, fortunately, I always carry the lesson plan in my gymbag). So for the next few weeks, I get to exercise 3 times a week for free...and get paid for it! That can count as my fun in the fitness challenge this week! :)

Day 3: Hooray, my trial run worked! I had ice cream for dessert when we went out last night and still managed to maintain my current weight! Not going to push my luck though. Desserts will now be a occasional, not daily, item! Nice to know, though, that I can budget in a luxury once in a while and still stay on track :)
I'm trying to get into the habit of plotting out my meals (and posting them) each morning. That way I know exactly what I'm eating and when I'm eating it...also I can see right away if I'm too high or low or any specific thing...like proteins or sodium.
I'm still getting used to the exercise journal. Is it juust me or do the calories expended listed there seem a little high? However, I'm not used to counting them so maybe it is me. I'm having to make some adjustments in it since my major exercise isn't list...water aerobics. I'm trying half swimming/half walking as a close approximation based on what we do during class. It's just a guess though... Does anyone know if there is a way to add in other exercises?

Day 2: Even though I started this yesterday, Dave and I plan to continue our current routine of eating dinner out on Tuesdays. I can usually find something tasty that I can eat and still not be too far off track, but tonight...
This time, it's Outback Steakhouse and I
WILL
have Blue Bell*! LOL! This is one of the little,
occasional
luxuries that I plan to budget into my plan. That way, hopefully, when I've managed to modify the way I eat to a lighter, more balanced and healthful routine, I won't be tempted to indulge in an all-out gut-busting blitzkrieg of eating everything I'd denied myself. Moderation is the key! Moderation and extra exercise...at least, that's the plan as of now! ;) Tomorrow, it's back to the straight and narrow :)
*
For those who haven't tried it, Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream is the closest thing I've ever found to genuine hand-cranked backyard Fourth-of-July ice cream flavor...and we don't live anywhere near where it's sold anymore (it's a southern thing!) But Outback Steakhouse has Blue Bell as the house brand so whenever we get the craving, we "force" ourselves to have a steak (LOL!) just so we can have the Blue Bell for dessert!

My husband and I just got back home to Virginia from two months on the road in our RV. We traveled out west - Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, California, Yellowstone and more - and I was lucky enough NOT to gain any weight on our vacation...probably because I had cooked up ahead of time and froze most of our meals so that we didn't have to eat out much while traveling. It helped with portion control too! Plus I also had my husband with me whenever we had to grocery shop to stock up on staples and perishables while traveling - which put a halt to the secret snack stashes...LOL!
Now that we're back home, I need to use that same portion control and watchdog attitude as well as add on more exercise (can't count on all those tours here) so that I don't backslide! I do NOT want to see 200 on the scales ever again!
