Don'tcha Just Love...

When you unexpectedly drop two pounds overnight for no good reason?

I mean seriously - I started my day on track but got totally depressed after a visity with my GYN - nothing bad - he just made me feel really old (*story below)

And all my resolve flew out the window.  I thought, well, I'll have a glass of wine.  And since I'm blowing my clean eating resolve with a glass of wine, I may as indulge for dinner.

I pounded an entire box of Kraft Mac and Cheese.  Although, I did follow the directions for "Light Preparation" but I mean really - who are we fooling here?

Oh, and I had a second glass of wine :)

Got on the scale and BAM! 1.8 lbs!

Now I know I shouldn't be too excited.  It's probably due to dehydration from the alcohol.  I know I'm dehydrated. I peed an ocean between last night and this morning! It will likely come back tomorrow.

But ...  I'm not going to complain because it decided to happen on the same day I go to weight watchers!

Now, according to my scale at home I am .6 away from being FREE!  But, the scale at WW is usually about a half pound heavier.  So we'll see when I get there I suppose.

So today I got back on track for the second time this week.

Workout - Sculpting. Super Body Sculpt. Heavied up on weight when I could. Hard to do a full set of hammer curls with the 10 lbers though.  Still not quite there.

Food - Breakfast was yogurt with Kashi Go Lean (no aspartame in that one!) and a banana.  Lunch was less imaginative. I had the frozen entree I was supposed to eat last night and an apple.  Snacks so far today were a piece of string cheese and some crunchy carrots and bell peppers.

For dinner I'm going to broil a flank steak and some asparagus.  Super simple because I've got a busy night.
Weight Watchers, then my weekly 24 conference call with my aunt and little sis. Then Idol and Biggest Loser on the TiVo.

No garbage though! I took it all out yesterday so I wouldn't have to worry about it today with all my TV to watch!

So that's that!

**How the GYN made me feel old...**

Step 1: Explain the myriad of health risks that increase with age when you decide to have a baby later and later in life.

Step 2: Explain the myraid of health risks that increase with age in women who never have babies.

Step 3: Prescribe a baseline mamogram.

Really? Am I that old? Women have healthy pregnancies/babies in their late 30's all the time. Do I really need to hear this? And a mamogram? Aren't I too young to be thinking about that? I guess not...

Blah.  I know it's all neccessary info, but it still made me feel old.  :P
