Health Group- Year 4, week 1

We missed Health Group- Year 3, week 52 while I was at Black sheep. That’s a shame, but here we are, beginning year 4. Wow.

I’m up a few pounds, but I think it’s mostly water. I’ve lost 2 pounds since yesterday, just in behaving myself and drinking more water to flush out the accumulation of junk over the last week. Like far too many Lay’s potato chips.

The last two weeks of school were really hectic and I literally couldn’t exercise, and didn’t take the time to eat as well as I could have.

We planned food for Black Sheep and did great, in fact, April didn’t think I met my calorie minimum on Friday. But then we came back, and it’s been awful ever since. Just the chaos of school being out, ignoring responsibility to play with fabric, fiber, wheels and yarn, and not having much in the house that supported good eating.

So, today my goal is to plan out food to eat, go to the store, make bread, exercise, etc. to get myself back on track.

I seriously miss it. I’m so tired of snack foods and eating on the go. After just a week of it, it sucks. I want to feel better, have more energy, and start shrinking again.

How are you doing?

    How am I doing diet wise?? Do I have to answer that?!? :o) Things were going great…I mean like totally sticking to the plan and then school got out and Kyrin has had friends here almost every night this last week. And most teens don’t like chicken breast and protein shakes for dinner….so pizza it was…or corndogs or whatever else I could get fast and cheap. So no. This last week hasn’t gone well at all 🙁 I did exercise twice though…that’s atleast one positive!

    Ugh….I think I’ll go drink some water. I feel icky.

    hey laura,
    i too had a hard time post black sheep gathering. i had had a good week prior to black sheep and other than a bit too much GORP i was well behaved while camping. i didn’t count points at the gathering and had a hard time starting that back up again. i blew sunday and also monday. i did somehow pull myself together for the rest of the week, however. tuesday – today i ate well and it seems i am back on track.

    i’m still working on the whole exercise thing. i did get a few days of weight bearing exercise in but not as much as i’d like.

    dave suggested that i not try on my pants this week. so i dont know if my size has changes much. but i do feel pretty good and it seems that certain areas are a tad smaller. i am happy about that.

    good luck this week!

    I was doing really well and then two of my old mission companions hit Seattle. Both skinny minnies and both eat like they aren’t! Not fair. It was a festival of eating I tell ya! I hate that saying “I’ll start tomorrow.” But this time its literal. I’m back on track tomorrow.

    Good luck all this week!
