I've actually been back in Orlando since Saturday but now I'm officially back on plan and will resume posting here regularly. Tomorrow I will begin posting food journals again starting with what I end up eating today. So far today I've eaten nothing because it was my weigh in day.
Weigh in went much better than I expected. I was not very good in terms of food choices a lot of the past couple of weeks. On the other hand I guess I was not that bad either. I weighed in at 234.4 lbs. that is a gain of 2.8. That is a lot less than I expected. I really thought I had gained about five pounds.
My eating, especially in Tunica was a mixed bag. I did a couple of breakfast buffets and did NOT choose fruit. I guess what offset that is that, as usual when I'm off by myself playing poker, I ate only twice a day, breakfast and dinner, on most days. I walked a fair amount as well, never searching for close parking spots and never taking even the free casino shuttles. I also drink all my water when I play because I never drink anything else at the poker table.
I did not behave even when I got back home but even those choices were not as bad as they could have been. I can fully expect to lose the 2.8 lb gain back next week if I am a good little boy this week. I want to set a good example and hopefully encourage others so I'll do my best.
Having said that I'm now, shortly anyway, going to go out to lunch. I won't go overboard but I AM eating both my breakfast points AND lunch points, or I can...we'll see.
I'm glad to be back. I didn't feel good about not journaling while I was gone and I think next time I may at least journal the food even though I may make no attempt to figure the points values on a lot of it (which probably means there is little point to figuring them on anything) at least it will give you some idea of what I eat when I gain a bit. Of course there is always the chance I'll behave really good on my upcoming trip and not have any problems!
Let me know how ya'll are doing and remember....there is no try, only do or not do!

Awwwww YODA!!!! :) STNY!!!!!!!!!!!
I am smiling for you.. glad you did better at weigh in than you expected. I think posting the food journal/even if not the points will help you be more accountable..but occasionally( on special occasions) you just have to give yourself a break and not think POINTS 24/7.. you know your limits and willpower, so do what works best for you.
I am proud of you, especially when you have a bad week, you just jump right back into it and try to do better next week. That does keep my spirits up, and I know we can walk it off together, but no big hills this time until I can get my stamina built back up!!! I am ready to take advantage of this beautiful weather. AML!!!!! ~~143~~
Spoken like a true Floridian! That "hill" was an overpass over the East/West expressway and if you thought that was bad then stay FAR away from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the hiking along that. I'm told that that is nothing compared to the Rockies :)
I promise to not seek out 'hills' when we get to walk together but if a hill happens then it does :) Just remember it's good for you!
