Weightloss, Health, and Getting into Shape -- Week 1

Sadly, my scale says I gained 0.2 ozs.  Not a big deal, so I'm not real concerned.  Not saying I didn't want to see it go down instead of up, but with the late week and weekend issues I had, I'm not surprised.

I woke up Thursday with a headache.  It didn't get too bad, luckily.  However, it didn't go away and got worse on Friday and started into a migraine.  It was one of those issues where I was not feeling well, didn't really care to eat, but had to eat to keep from feeling sick.  I tried my best to eat well, however only certain things sounded good so I opted to eat often and in small quantities.  The biggest issue is that when I don't feel well I tend to not drink enough liquids either.  Bad, bad, I know!  Saturday I felt better but just couldn't seem to eat enough not to feel crummy.  I also had some things I had to do outside the house.  I probably should have packed a thermos of Shakeology but didn't think about it.  At one point I had to have something to eat.  So I drove through Wendy's and got a value meal sized chicken sandwich and a coke.  Well, the rest of the weekend didn't go so well either.  Needless to say I am being more careful this week, or at least am going to try to be.  LOL  This morning I came downstairs to find that my youngest had toasted me a Eggo waffle.  I was good though and only added a bit of honey.  Other than that all I've had is a shake, some fresh veggies and a few Special K* crackers.  Not sure what's on the menu for dinner yet though, something quick and easy hopefully.

Right at this moment, I don't have an update on my daughter so I will try and let you know how she is doing tonight.

I did try a new flavor mixture with my shakes for the week, I make a pitcher at a time so I don't have to rush to make two shakes each morning.  Anyway, I mixed some peppermint extract into the chocolate mix and milk.  WARNING....a little extract goes a long way.  I put a bit too much and had to add some more mix and milk.  LOL


*Observation note:  As I browsed down the isle of crackers, I checked the calorie count verses serving size and I found that Special K has a larger serving size (120 cal for 24 crackers vs 140 cal for 16 crackers) than another popular multi-grain cracker.
