How exciting to get on the scale, would it be 1&1/2 lbs?? 2 would be better. I lost nothing, nada, ubupcus(SP?). I had oatmeal for breakfast instead. (sigh)

I didn't do to well Sun. But the nice thing about messing up, is the only alternative left is up!
I kept up the exercise, walking, swimming and biking, but I went over my caloric limit. I generally catch the fact I'm going to consume to many calories as I moniter my calories before I eat them, this time I inputted the information after I ate. I thought about purging, but I've been down that road before, and I don't want to start that again, so I'll just have to accept it.
I've increased the the distance I walk, by about .5 mile. I can't do that during the week, as I have time restraints, but I can on the weekend.
I enjoy taking the dogs out for their walk. I've seen a lot of snakes the last month. I walked within about a yard of a rattlesnake. It was half in a bush and on the ground. I looking a bit closer at where I walk now.

Today is a new day. You will do better today, I can just feel it. You are an exercising wonder woman! Yay for you!
As far as those snakes go.....EWWW! Rattlesnakes are a bit too grumpy for me. Nah. You can have them on your walks. I will just walk in the safety of the pool. LOL!

To many post since I commented last so I will not comment on any.
I started weighing 209 in Jan went down to 185 then up to 190 and have now stayed there. I am not above 190 so I should be happy. Plus when I look at the scale it is below 200 so I should be happy. Instead of thinking of it as I have to lose between 40 and 45 lbs I will shoot for losing 10 lbs if I do it then I could do another 10 lbs and so on until I lose the 40 I would like to lose. If I lose 10 lbs and can't lose more then I am still ahead of the game that would mean I lost 24 lbs. And if I don't lose anything more but stay the same I still lost 14 lb which is better then nothing.
Oatmeal for breakfast..........I always liked oatmeal. Not instant plain old fashion top of the stove cooked oatmeal. I do like it better cooked on the stove however in the morning when I am dealing with feeding J's puppy and the stray cats I pop it in the microwave. If you put it in the bowl the night before it cooks in about 2 minutes and it gets creamy. I always bought Quaker but this past week as I posted a few days ago I was running low so I ordered some from Amazon. I bought Bob's Red Mill it was on sale. It is the BEST oatmeal I have ever had. Sounds crazy but I was craving it last night as a snack. I usually have oatmeal for breakfast and yougurt with fruit as a bedtime snack I am going to change it and have the yogurt for breakfast and the oatmeal as a bedtime snack.

I think that oatmeal sounds like a great snack or a meal. I like it either way.
