Good Mixed with the Bad

So, I was so nervous about first weigh in after being out on my own for a week, but it was a success! I was down 5.6 lbs! YAY!!! I was so happy and very proud of myself, it just proved that once I put my mind to something and stick with it that I can accomplish great things! I had to talk in the meeting which embarrassed me a little bit. I had to explain how I liked the Kick Start program. I also got my bookmark with the first sticker, a star with a 5 in the center! :)

The down side to this is that tonight we went out to a dinner theater and YIKES! I decided to do another week of the KickStart, just to keep up the energy so that was 20 points, the weather today was crappy, so I didn't get my early morning walk in with the Duke monster, after work, we only did 30 minutes of activity and then this dinner! I was a hog. Flat out pig! I ate the salad, which was good, 0 points. But, then I had 2 dinner rolls and OUCH that was 6 points. The dinner was prime rib which of course is the fattiest meat EVER, but I trimmed away all the fat leaving me with a teeny tiny piece of meat. There were green beans so again 0 points and new potatoes which were I think 1 point. But, then I got into trouble...CARROT CAKE!!!! So, I was over by 11 points today. I have to say that I'm disappointed in myself. I've been so conscious of what I put into my body, but I saw that carrot cake and it had to go into my body.

But, I'm not going to let this one pitfall ruin a whole week, this was only 1 day. Tomorrow starts a brand new day, a day where I can walk Duke multiple times, I can kick up the water consumption and stick to 20 points, it will be great!
