Bad start.

So I'll just say it. Another gain. 0.4 lbs. Boo. But I'm turning it around. Well I tried so far today and it was less than stellar:

100 cal egg whites
1 toast with butter (which I didn't eat the second because it tasted weird)
200 cal whole wheat croissant

carrots and dip (100 calories)
8 ish saltwater taffies - BOO! (30x8=240!!!)

Left over whole wheat chicken spinach pizza (400 calories)
Source yogurt (50 cal)
strawberries w/ sugar (75 calories)
Canteloup (60 calories)

Apple (100 calories)

TERRIBLE! 1425 before supper! And I doubt an apple will hold me all the way until then. Sheesh! That's like 100-300 calories for supper. Yeah right! I don't know what I'm having, but mom's cooking (I'm going home right after work for a visit) Even a salad will be 400+ calories.
I guess I shouldn't have had the croissant but they were goign to go bad (I shouldn't have bought them, they were on sale 4 for $1!) I would have been ok with the eggs and toast but the toast tasted funny so I didn't want to finish it. I should have just had nothing more but noooo I had to eat the delicious croissant! Also, the stupid taffies! I should have just had 4 max! But I already ate them. boo.

Yesterday at least was good. I didn't end up having spaghetti as I was stuck in traffic and didn't get home very early so SIL made tuna melts. I had 2 pieces of bread each covered in tuna with mayo and cheese. Sorta bad. But I'm thinking 600 calories. So that's all I was supposed to eat so I had no "dessert". Good thing cause the dog trainer lady came right away to distract me. She was pretty good. she's only a university student and basically told us what we already knew. It was good though. It just takes some time since she's still a puppy. Not quite dog whisperer stuff but I'm happy. She gave pretty much a rundown of everything you'd learn in a 6 week class for $100 and it was only $25 for 1 hour. Now we just have to practice everything (key anytime I think). And Daisy was a real quick learner and I think she's really smart so as long as we're consistant she'll be alright. Especially now that I've got the clue that she needs more exercise. She was really good last night and even this morning. Maybe because she is smart she needs to keep learning new tricks all the time. Chicky gave us a few new ones to try (bow and leave it and then all other tricks from a distance).

So I'm going home right after work to visit my folks. hubby has to work tomorrow so it's a solo vacation for me. yay! I'm even leaving the dog. My laundry is caught up and there were only a few things that I was gonna do (dig up gladiolas and put plastic on the windows) and they can wait.

I think it will be a healthy weekend. I told my mom I was giving them a lifestyle makeover. Before they left on their trip they each had all sorts of health problems. Luckily their trip was fine (and sounds super fun, I'm also looking at pictures this weekend) but now that they're back in the real world they need to take care of themselves better. Including exercise. They're super busy running their own home based tax consultant firm and generally work pretty much all day, taking breaks to make supper or change laundry or other things you can do working at home. but basically from 7:30 am until 8:00 pm. too long. I get their busy but I was joking with them last night that they won't find more time to exercise when they're bed ridden or dead. Save all the computer time until you can't walk any more. For now, do some exercise. Sick but true! Mom's knees and back are BAD and dad's back is Super BAD. Why? they sit at desks 13 hours a day! Plus they both have high cholesterol and are on medication for it which was never proven to really work, so I thought eating healthier and exercising might get them off it. They didn't even have multivitamins before their trip when I made them get some. So with a focus on health all weekend I doubt I'll be pigging out. Definately get some light exercise in too. Plus I won't have my laundry to do, family to cook for, house to clean. I'll be helping mom with her stuff, but it still is nicer than doing your own. HOLIDAY!

So please remember to get your WIs to me today or on the weekend. I'll probably be putting together the spreadsheet sunday night so if you're later than that you probably won't be in it. (Carolyn said I might be too mean ;) ) Hopefully you had better results than me!
