I Think Gene Autry Said It Best. . .

I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend (thanks to Erin for her pep talk!)
Where the longhorn cattle feed (yes I'm cow-like,but not for long)
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again

So I'm back in the saddle-- I've been swimming for 30 minutes while the kids take their swimming lessons and I guess it must be good exercise because I'm working my way back to what I had lost before--I have one pound to go to get me back to where I was. My new goal is to continually have my weight stay below Erin's, since she won't "start over" for me in our competition. She said something about some ratio or stats or something--I dunno it was math gibberish. This week should be fairly easy to stay on target--the kids have swim lessons tues -fri so I'll swim those days and I have only one cake this week so I have no excuse to skip exercise the other days. Plus Chris is away so I will end up eating cereal or fruit for dinner most nights (I'm so bad about cooking when he's away--the kids live on grilled cheese, pancakes and hotdogs)
So things are good after a very bad few weeks. . .

Wednesday, June 3

I exercised yesterday and did well eating . . . . until dinner. Personally, I blame Chris. He had to go down to Canton to pick up something from a game store and you know what is in Canton, right?? Nacho Mama's. So we went out to dinner. And while I did resist the temptation to have a margarita (I had water), I failed at resisting the chips and salsa. And the chimichanga. And the rice. And sour cream.
So my weight was up a bit this morning. But today is a new day, and I'm getting ready to exercise so I don't think all is lost. I'll be OK. Still on track to meet my first goal of 16 pounds by our vacation.
Now if only I could get Chris to go jogging. . .
