Day Five - A miscalculation and some progress too

Another pretty good day overall. I feel like I’ve gotten a lot done today in the house, though I have a LONG way to go before it is the way I want it. I’m going to need to start blocking out an hour or so for my writing now instead of blocking out an hour for house stuff. Food wise - I did great today. So great in fact that my app is going to yell at me for not eating enough (so I’ll likely add on some carrots and artichoke dip if I can actually get the jar open). Tonight’s exercise will be likely similar to last night’s.

I did, however, learn something not so good today. I was finally able to weigh in - it’s been about a year since I stepped on a scale - 273 days actually, according to the Wii fit (the only scale I have). I was off on my starting weight. By more than I figured I’d be. My actual start weight is 191. I hates me that number. I never want to see that number again. So, while I did pretty good inches wise, I did not fair so well with that number. I’m back to where I was last April. In fact, the Wii said I’d lost 1.1lbs since my last weigh in. I guess I should just be glad I didn’t gain more than that after my tumble off the fitwagon last year.

I picked up something interesting today - a book of low calorie recipes for my slow cooker. This makes me happy. Even happier because a number of them look really really good. I intend to make great use of this book. Though I’m not sure how it will turn out, I’m kind of looking forward to trying the slow cooker citrus cheesecake - just to see. And the french toast bread pudding too. These things don’t sound very low calorie to me so we’ll just have to see how it goes.

Though, from the looks of things - tonight’s exercise may get put on hold if this headache doesn’t quit. It started out as just an annoyance but it’s growing and growing. I don’t usually take anything - don’t like to - but I did knuckle under this time and take a tylenol. I want this to go away right this second. If it goes away - exercise will proceed as planned. If not, then probably not.
