E2E wk 1

The 1st week is down and I'm having to really work at it to try to meet my targets.  My kids left on Wed and I started tracking then.....I'm still not measuring everything but I am getting better.  I found my drink bottles today but we couldn't find the bottle i use to mix them up.......we moved all those things out of the kitchen over Christmas......in fact I'm leaving out all my knick-knackey things as I have other things that take priority this weekend.

weight 247  which is a loss of 2 pounds...happy face

waist  51 which is a gain of 1 inch...sad/confused face

cal  1315 av over the 3 tracked days.....met goal

fluids  12+ daily....met goal

ex  2x....met 2/3 of goal

reading  not met

support met....10+ blogs read and commented on

buddy  I've been checking  bluezy's blog every time i get on my computer...enjoying her comments and leaving some.....hope everything works out  for her.

I CAN do this......and my goal for this week is to to track every day AND to find my pedometer.....the bike needs something done to it and may have to be replaced as my ex choice.

Hope everyone else had a good week and I'll be trying to get to the blogs I missed last week

Midweek....1

I've decided to try to weigh midweek also....some weeks I weigh daily but I'm not probably posting that....today i remained at 248. 

I've just come from dropping my kids at the airport to fly back to Cal.   They take the same plane partway.  It was nice having them home for Xmas.  Of course we had to lunch in the city but i kept my amounts small and I stopped at Sams for a big bag of salad and one of cabbage as well as berries.  I've left comments at 6 of you so far and I'll try to get to the rest by next week....I'm catching up on what you all posted for the last few weeks so it's a bit slow going.  I've left some comments at my buddy's blog and I hope she does all right.

Time to go track my food....I can do this...right!

NYE

It was a great weekend. We drove down on Friday,  got checked in to our room and found out that we could take a shuttle over to the Casino.  Played some slots, and went to the Blake Shelton concert.  It was great,  he talked and sang,  told stories, talked some more and sang some more.......his encore included his wife, Miranda  Lambert, and Kelly Clarkson.  We played some more slots, ate dinner and walked around the casino........it's about 1/2 mile from end to end.  On Fri and Sat we made about 3 full laps each day.  Slept in on Sat and then played some more........this night was the Maroon5 concert and it was very different and again great.  I really like this venue for concerts.....it sounds so much better than arenas and outdoor stadiums.  Sunday we had lunch before driving back and I slept in today again.  Weighed this morn and I'm 1 pound down from Fri.....hope it continues.  Was definitely better to focus this weekend on music rather than food.  By the way when we turned in our tickets we had $1.40 more than we started with.......had as good a time playing penny slots for small amounts as the people putting in 3-5 dollars a spin and didn't have to worry about whether we lost what we brought.

Now its time to really get the nose to the grindstone and start getting this year in gear.
