It's a 2-fer

for your reading enjoyment! Actually, I wrote the previous post yesterday but when I went to load it, the blogger site was down, so I was unable to share it yesterday. Today, you get two for the price of one.
I did not reach my goal yesterday. Yes, Jaci and I were home alone and I was able to control 100% what came out of the kitchen. However, the only fish I had was salmon and I really wasn't in the mood for something that "fishy" and I had no chicken breasts that were thawed out. Yes, I could have defrosted one in the microwave, but when you do that the edges sometimes "cook" and then they get all hard and chewy on the edges. Hamburger was thawed and in the fridge, so hamburger patties it was. I had mine with a slice of tomato, pickle and mustard, no bun of course and a big salad on the side. Jace had a bun (with her burger) and some left over mac and cheese.
However, while I "failed" at the leaner lean portion, I did take a walk while Jaci was at dance, it was a gorgeous night. I logged 2.2 miles in about 33 minutes. I didn't do anything crazy like run or even  jog any portion of it because I was walking the city streets and didn't want anyone "watching" me. Now, I know what you're thinking, "When you do these 5k's people will be watching." Yes, I realize that, BUT other people will be running/walking the same course, so there will be more people than just me huffing/puffing/flopping around. My route had plenty of hills and it was really a nice, peaceful, enjoyable walk.
My baby girl is 7 on Monday, we're taking her to Claire's tomorrow to get her ears pierced. Should be a hoot. I'm making her dad go with because she would be a bawling/whiny mess with me, but with him there, I doubt she makes a peep. Its funny to think 7 years ago I started on my first weight loss journey. I did Weight Watchers, lost 30-some pounds, gave it up and gained it all and then some back! Here I am, 7 years later 50-some pounds gone, 20 some regained. The difference? I woke up before I gained all 50 back and am working on getting the 20 some and then some gone, and this time, gone for good.
Today's reason for losing weight: Ozark Mountain Jubilee (lake trip) is exactly, okay, not exactly, roughly 11 weeks away. boy would it be nice to wear a 2 piece. (disclaimer---not a bikini, that will never happen, but a tankini with a top that doesn't roll up on top my fat roll and one that has bottoms that don't roll down under my fat roll..bottom line...in the next 11 weeks, get rid of the fat roll!
Today's goal: No pop at Darrell's tonight. Iced tea or water only.
