Weigh in #11

I haven't given up. I'm just trying to spend less time on the computer. I haven't been that successful, but there has been improvement. That said, today was a weigh in day. It was disappointing. I gained 7 of the 8 lbs. from last week's loss back. I expected to gain some back since last week's weigh in was coming off a flu bug, but I was really hoping to stay out of the 2's. Really hoping it. I just can't seem to get under 2 and stay there. Never, in all my attempts have I managed it. I was really hoping it'd be different this time. I get so tired of loosing the same pounds over and over again. In my body's defense, I haven't fed it well this week. Fourth of July indulgences were a caloric nightmare. I've fallen into old eating habits in a big way. I really need to rededicate myself to healthier eating. Hard to do with zero grocery budget, but I can eat less, and I can control the sweets. At least that's what I tell myself. I need to. I've done it before. I can do it again.

pre-workout snack:
banana

I ran, ran, ran this morning. I figure it was about 4 miles. Maybe a little under because I skipped one of the hills. I wanted to be able to walk the rest of the week. I did a different hill instead. Other than that alteration it was the same as the route I did last Tuesday, which was 4.2 miles. Gotta run out of the 2's.

breakfast:
frosted mini wheats with fresh raspberries and 1 % milk

lunch:
there wasn't much left after the kids ate, a couple pieces of ham, half a cheese stick

snack:
low-fat raspberry yogurt
2 little graham cracker pieces

dinner:
we splurged on Subway to take to the ballpark. Not fiscally responsible, but there was nothing in the house, and it was yummy. I chose from their lite menu; sweet onion chicken teriyaki something. I was sooooo hungry I ate the 12 incher! A few apple slices, and a few bites of yogurt.

later:
OJ

I'm hungry, and tired. I stayed up too late working on a blog post for Wrigley's first year. Today is her 1st birthday. I feel badly about not doing anything to celebrate it. I know she doesn't care, but I do. I haven't finished the post yet, but I got the pictures uploaded. Oh! I'm so tired. It's almost midnight! Time for bed...
