The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

First off, the ugly....

I weighed myself this past Monday.  Up 3 pounds.  Yuck!

The bad......

I went off the wagon.  Friday, I stuck to having a delicious salad, but I ate the 2 small breadsticks that came with it.  If it stopped there, it would be ok.  But did it stop there?  No.  I then went on to eat 2 small slices of pizza.  Ugh.

Then came Saturday.  The day was fine, but when we went out to dinner, I nibbled on some french fries.  Then I ate 1 1/2 buffalo chicken bite.  Then I ate a roll.

Sunday.......had a salad again, ate the crutons AND the breadsticks.  Then ate a few donut holes.  After that, I had a bowl of ice cream and a handful of crackers.

And somewhere in there, I ate my son's hollow milk chocolate Santa.

Augh is right!  And I paid the price for it when I got on the scale.  Up three pounds.

But, now for the good.....

Monday I downloaded the Couch to 5K app to my phone.  I even did the first workout on my elliptical!  Today I do the second one.  What I like about it is that it is gradual...I started off with 5 minutes warm up, then 1 minute of jogging, then 1 1/2 minutes of walking.  It ended up being a total of 30 minutes.  And it is only 3 times per week.  I can do three times a week!!  Tonight is workout #2, so we will see how it goes.

So, the last few days lots of things happened.  The important thing is that I am making good choices and not letting some bad times take over!!!

Progress, not perfection!
