Not in the Game

Well today is the first official weigh-in of our newest challenge over at the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. And I have officially decided that I want to rewind 24 hours and use THAT weigh-in. Because YESTERDAY I was down a pound from where I started last week. But today, I'm up .6# from where I started last week.

As I stated above, my head is not in the game this week. I don't have any particular reason other than I have been thinking more about what I need to get done around here in preparations for someone's birthday party this weekend rather than on what I am putting in my mouth. So I've been sitting on the sidelines all week just hoping that my name wouldn't be called to stand on the scale and face up to what I've been trying to ignore. Like I said, I weighed myself on Tuesday and was REALLY happy. Mommy Mo challenged me to get off the couch and start moving, so I went out and ran on Monday night. Now it's not like I ran far, but I got my body moving (and it still hurts) which is what is important. I also ate fine on Monday, but pretended that the weekend didn't count. Yesterday I planned to take my lunch to work but in the chaos of the morning it got left in the refrigerator...and I succumbed to peer pressure when it came to going out to get lunch. In my haste, I failed to select something less harmful to my body and I chose one of the worst things on the menu. Oh well. It's a new week, right???

You know Taylors favorite song on High School Musical is Get Cha Head in the Game. Maybe you should listen to some of Katies music!!

Good luck and see you Sat! Carey is going to do her best to make it. I fogot to ask will Derek be there? I assume so. Do I need to bring some adult beverages?
