Monday, Monday: FMM

Argh!  It's Monday!  Again! 

I shouldn't sound like I'm complaining. I'm not, really. I'm actually getting to this post late today. Been a "busy" day. I put busy in quotes because most people probably wouldn't call what I did today "busy" but I felt a little busier than normal. 

I've been working on cutting out the electronics. My kids are getting to be little iPad and iPhone addicts, just as I am an internet addict. I decided that I'm not leading by example...I can't tell them to put the electronics down when I have a hard time stepping away. So today I spent less time connected and more time interacting. It was good for all of us. 

As far as weigh ins go, I was up on Saturday. I was up 4 pounds and pretty darn mad about it because I've been logging and eating within my calorie budget!  I ultimately decided to enjoy myself at the BBQ I went to on Saturday...wasn't my original plan but I had that "if I'm up anyway, may as well enjoy myself", sort of thinking. Not happy with myself for thinking that way but I didn't do all that bad anyway.  I forgot to weigh in this morning (my official weigh in day) so I don't really know what the official outcome was from last week. 

I'm back on plan as of today!  I'm "under" calories by 306 - that's 1/2 exercise calories burned from water walking. And speaking of exercise, I have plans in the works to join a new gym. I wasn't happy at the other gym and  I feel a bit ashamed of may lack-of-progess so I don't want to show my face there again. So, planning on joining another gym. 

And now I'll play along with Friend Makin' Monday's
