Overall the weekend was not good! I am really learning that I need to stay on a structured schedule, but give myself some grace for when things happen. On Saturday, Mari and I did go for ice cream at Salt and Straw in Los Angeles and on Sunday, I overate and the weight reflected it. Starting Monday, I was back on track.
On Monday, Mari's graduating class had a get together and her teacher brought food, which I overall stayed away from, with the exception of grapes. We did go out for dinner and I made a wise choice in having salmon, rice and a salad and I did have gelato, but I still lost some weight.
Tuesday was mainly a day at home and being good with food. We did get a walk of about 5 miles with our Tuesday night walking group. I was feeling hungry after the walk and slightly light headed, so I wanted to get some protein. Mari wanted to stop at Starbuck's for a refresher and I got a reduced fat turkey bacon sandwich, which was about 230 calories. This seemed to help.
I have learned that many times when I put on weight from not eating according to plan; once I get back on my structured food plan, the weight comes off until I get to where I have been in the past and then we come to a screeching halt and that is currently what is going on. The girls and I went to try a coffee/tea place that I had read about and then we went to Whole Foods to their salad and hot food bar, which I love. The rest of the day has been good and I did take a walk. Now I am starting to hit the part of the week when food goes downhill, but this week has been a different schedule, so that may help.
Thursday was good and the weight has been continuing to go down. Friday, instead of a salad, I did a wrap from Starbuck's. I have not been able to do a walk the last couple of days due to the rain. Overall, this has been a good week. Saturday, Mari and I went down to Torrey Pines to do a walk. My food was good all day! This week I lost 1.4 pounds over the last week.
