I went to Rite Aid to get some eye drops from my new optometrist (hopefully this one will work out & Sean will want to see him too). While I was killing time I tried out the blood pressure thingy they got there.. You know the ones you see in places like Target or your average drugstore.
I don't know if this one is calibrated correctly but it's the lowest I've ever tested. I have a pretty low average for blood pressure normally.. but this was a nice surprise. Maybe it's the Weight Watchers but who knows?

End of Weeek 23
little gain this week..
13 June 2011: 191.8 lbs
06 June 2011: 191.3 lbs
The mistakes made this week are not exercising like we were doing in Orlando.. or not doing the "Walk it Out" (just haven't been in the mood so we need to change that)
I also think some of my food choices weren't the best. When I eat things that aren't the best for me I usually opt for healthy sides.. for example if I can have a salad or fresh fruit rather than fries I will. Last Thursday I ate a late dinner from a food truck... split a lemon grass chicken and a pork banh mis as well had a taco (that had 2 tortillas on it) Sunday I had half a side of french fries with a buffalo chicken sandwich I've been craving off and on.. I did remove the top bun and had it with no blue cheese but the chicken itself (being breaded) was NOT the thing to have.. nor the fries. I usually ask for a salad instead of fries but yesterday for some reason I didn't bother. I need to remember to bother and ask.

End of Week 22
Still don't feel any different but the scale says otherwise: down 3.7lbs this week!
06 June 2011: 191.3 lbs
20 May 2011: 195.0 lbs.
23 May 2011: 194.2 lbs.
It's probably water weight.

End of Week 21
20 May 2011: 195 lbs.
23 May 2011: 194.2
16 May 2011: no weigh in
didn't exercise or walk a lot this past week as I've been sick; that coupled with the 2 cheeseburgers I ate yesterday.. I assume it's a temporary weight gain.

End of Week 20
Back from 2 weeks in Florida.. down a pound and now have a cold! fun stuff..
23 May 2011: 194.2
16 May 2011: no weigh in
09 May 2011: no weigh in
02 May 2011: 195.3 lbs
25 Apr 2011: 196.4 lbs
Tried to stay on track while in Orlando, but usually didn't.. Too many good meals at Royal Pacific (IoA/Universal) and Disney World.. lots of yummy desserts and at least 2 chicken dinners at 50s Prime Time/ Tune In Lounge (substituting the mashed potatoes for a 2nd helping of green beans at least once) Lots of salads.. love the Asian Salad at the ABC Commissary at DHS... not so much a fan of the salads at Contempo Cafe.. I prefer the Turkey BLT (on multigrain) w/ the sesame bean salad as a side.
While Kat Kora's Kouzzina is not my favorite place to eat.. the service leaves something to be desired.. the food is excellent and the breakfast was pretty good. The Wave at the Contemporary Resort is still really good.. not too much meat but really good service and the breakfast is amazing!! The fruit plate is great and the bacon cheese grits are really yummy.. this from someone that doesn't eat grits. The sausage is kind of 'meh' don't get it if you can help it.. it's like brown & serve or something.. very lackluster.. the eggs Benedict and the spinach and feta scrambled eggs are good but the spinach isn't actually scrambled into the eggs.. which I found odd. They have a buffet now too.. but honestly splitting 2 meals and a fruit plate was more than enough. There's lots more food I tried and we did our minimum walking every day but Saturday.. and we still managed to stay around the same.. with just a little loss!
So the key I guess is to stay on program, treat yourself.. keep walking.. and stay hydrated. It was hot when we went.. crazy hot.

Steak Salad from the Nickel Diner
Tonight's dinner was just the right thing! Huge Salad (hold the dressing!) accompanies a (approximately) 6oz steak. Served Medium.. it was yummy & juicy and provided just the right flavoring and juices to the salad and the iceberg lettuce wedge.
