Day 6 of 7: losing steam

Hi gang, Happy Friday!
I am relieved that this 7 day blog is coming to an end as I am losing steam. Plus going to Oktoberfest tomorrow is not for the healthy eating set!

Here are my stat's today:
Weight 150.5 I love I can go to sleep and wake up 2 lbs lighter. Crazy
Calories: don't know, didn't track all day!! Proof of me losing steam. I actually ate well today, tons of salad (we had left over cucumber salad from work and I love it) and I didn't have much for dinner and limited myself to a half cup of black bean soup (this stuff is so good, I could eat boatloads of it!). I am kind of hungry now but almost too tired to think about what I would want.

Reviewing the past week, I have to say my biggest downfall is not consistently working out. I log about 14000 steps in an average day, but most of that is at work and though I am on my feet, my heart rate isn't elevated. I really need to carve out time in my day to get my heart pumping and get my sweat on. Even if it is just a brisk walk, that is better than nothing.

Heading to the grocery store tomorrow and will continue to stock up on lean protein and lots of fruits and veggies. Youngest has happily traded his french bread pizzas for lunch for ground turkey with cheese on a whole wheat tortilla. That is good progress for him!

Husband and Middle are at one of the local High School football games tonight. I drove by one of our other HS on the way to pick up Daughter and there were parents tailgating. At a high school football game. Wow. I had no idea parents did that. Looked fun though.

Funny moment of my day: walking into Kroger as the sliding doors were opening, I walked into one of the doors!! They start to open fast but then they stop and I misjudged how far they would open. The guy carrying two cases of beer was nice enough to stop and make sure I was ok. Yeah, I was fine. Good grief.

Funny conversation of the day: Me to Youngest: I wonder how Mrs. C is doing (his previous Behavior teacher who is now at another school)? Youngest: She better be doing well of she will get fired! Ahhh..I love his literallness!

Thanks for sticking with me the last week. I know what I need to do to stay healthy and these little weekly exercises remind me of what works and doesn't work for me. I appreciate all of your support and being held accountable by you.

I hope you all have a great weekend. I am soo looking forward to time with Husband along with German food and crafts. Daughter is getting paid to watch the boys in creme puffs and she is just fine with that. She is injured and most likely won't run tomorrow. We will be icing her up and watching Say Yes to the Dress tonight. Poor Youngest, hopefully he will pop in a movie and ignore us.

Have a great night and thank you again for your continued support!
