My 6.30 gym buddy bailed today, and I too skipped workout this morning--thought I'd go in the evening, but for some reason, that didn't exactly work out either...I could have pushed myself, but didn't (some drama at work and that brought me down--but I need to not let that stuff get to me or to my workout regimen)...oh well. So much for the bravado from yesterday about a "serious workout" today.
But the food-thing was good; slept on longer than needed, so had to make a dash to work, and didn't have time for breakfast, and was busy past lunch-time, so the earliest/first meal of the day was around 12.30 or so! Was not too good about water either (but I did read up today about the importance of water to weight-loss, and discovered that my plateau could be in part, due to the markedly reduced water-intake lately). I just gotta be more vigilant, less lazy about food and water at work. But not bad progress with avoiding vending machines, eating junk, or skipping meals entirely as I've been doing in the past!

Winetasting ended up not working out today, but will likely go tomorrow, and will allow myself one decent glass. Plan meals around it better, and will stay within 20 points (great advice, Evelyn64!). My beige pants were fitting better today (so something's working!!)....Will keep on goin'. It's inspiring to see others are working so hard at working out and eating right, and thus their results are paying off! I need to actually put a little more effort in this process, than simply showing up! More tomorrow...

Meals for today:
Lunch:
1 healthy veggie panini (6)
Coffee with cream, and 2 tiny sample smoothie-cups (1 or 2)

Snacks:
1 nutrabar (2)
1 kellog's bar (1)
1 small bowl popcorn with a sprinkle of oil (1.5)
Walnuts (1/2 serving) + few croutons (2)
2 wasa crackers with reduced fat peanut butter (3)

Dinner: 6 inch veggie delite subway sandwitch on whole wheat bread and 2 triangles cheese (6)

Go beige pants! Something IS working…YOU!!! Don’t be too hard on yourself for missing your "serious workout" – just blame it on the delinquent workout buddy! Sorry you had to deal with drama at work, I know all about that lately. How can we not let it bring us down or get to us? I try to put things in perspective, or focus on something else. I’ve considered stress-reducing things – massage, etc., but that’s not really me. I decided to commit to working out to blow off steam, but my back needs to get back on board with that decision. I’m glad you are becoming a water fan. I need to do the same. It really is good for weight-loss and health. It’s hard to be vigilant about food and water at work (since I can’t pee when I want to), but I’ve started forcing myself to sit down and fuel up with oatmeal before work (I used to gulp a slim-fast shake…not filling!) and I’m making myself eat vegetables and fruit for energy at 10:35, 12:10, and 2:35. It is so easy to get caught up on deadlines and being productive, but I tell myself that health is my first priority. Have fun at wine tasting!

Sounds like you are doing great! I don't think I would have found it so easy to fit the exercise in if I was working so I am sure it is a challenge for you. But the more you fit it in, the more likely it will become a regular part of your day. So keep trying! Have a Fantastic Friday!
