Gym Fail

Sigh. No gym today. However, I did go shopping for about an hour and a half, and being on your feet counts for something. I'm mad and ashamed at myself for not going to the gym, especially when I told myself that I don't have a choice anymore; it just needs to happen three times a week. But, I will definitely go tomorrow, and if we have a snow day on Wednesday (which is very likely), I can go during the day.

So, on Wednesday I'm leaving for Philadelphia to stay with Gangster for the ACDA convention, which is Thursday through Saturday. I'm really excited to go, but not excited about the fact that I'll miss a weigh in day (although if Gangster has a scale, I may just weigh in at his place), and will also be eating out for practically every meal. I'm really nervous about eating, and am trying to plan ahead so that I make good choices. I'll probably bring fruit and yogurt with me. Plus, I'm always better about eating on days when I'm super busy, and every day will definitely be packed. Not to mention the amount of walking I'll be doing. I think this will be a good test for me - turning a potentially detrimental situation into a good one. I think I can do this!

Here's what I ate today.

Breakfast:
  • Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt (2 points)
  • 1/2 of an apple (.5 points)
Lunch:
  • Four Cheese Hot Pocket (5 points)
  • 5 hershey's kisses (2 points)
Dinner:
  • 6 oz Pork Tenderloin (6 points)
  • Roasted Potatoes with garlic, 1 cup (2 points)
  • Veggie Mix (green beans, peas, carrots, corn) (0 points)
  • 2 slices of bread w/ margerine (5 points)
Exercise:
  • Leisure walking for 45 minutes (3 activity points earned)

TOTAL: 22.5 points, minus 3 activity points = 19.5

Ok, that is way too low. I need to eat something else...maybe some dessert. :) How is it that I'm only eating 23 points? I mean, it's a good thing, but I remember awhile back struggling just to stay under 30 points on a daily basis. Crazy...

By the way, I've been peeing about 5 or 6 times during the day at work, even when I don't drink a ton of water. A co-worker told me that it's because I'm losing weight. Is that true??
