Being out of town for a week...
Not good as far as weight loss is concerned! I only exercised one day with a walking video I brought along. I did eat some salads for lunch/supper a couple of the days. But sitting in class and then eating out for all meals is hard! I think I'm going to try to follow the WW point system this next week to see how I do.

Important lesson learned
Well at lunch today I have learned that I need to be prepared and bring something with me. I commute to a small town for work. I went to the local grocery store on my lunch break thinking I could pick up something quick and easy. They don't carry Lean Cuisine or Smart ones. I ended up eating way too many calories. My plan is to eat a salad for supper tonight.

Mother's Day weekend...
Well...I kept up on my food journal. I exercised. Friday night I went on a walk with friends. On Saturday my husband and I had to get rid of an old sidewalk in our backyard - so lifting broken up pieces was alot of exercise!! I felt it in my legs Sunday morning. Then Sunday morning we went for about a 10 mile bike ride. It was alot of fun.
The downfall of the weekend was the made from scratch carrot cake my husband and girls made me for mother's day. I think I had three pieces yesterday. There is still about half the cake left. I think we'll have some tonight and then tomorrow I'll bring it to work or share with some friends.

day two
Another day coming to a close. I did pretty good today too. I did have a handful of corn chips while we were deciding what to eat for supper but I quickly switched over to baby carrots and hummus.
I walked tonight with a couple of friends. It was kindof cold and windy but it was a nice long walk. We are planning on getting together for another walk on Monday.
Both of my friends I walk with are/were into jogging. I'm going to try it out with one of my friends after she has her baby. She used to jog alot but hasn't in a long time so she will be starting from scratch - like me. I think the last time I jogged on purpose was in high school gym class!!
My husband and I are going to try to go on a couple of organized bike rides this summer. If the weather is good this weekend we will go out for another ride.

Starting Point
Starting out today with Extrapounds.com. I really need to get serious about my weight. I've joined and quit Weight Watchers three times. I was the most successful the first time. My weight today is only 4# from my first starting weight and that is depressing!
