I had a good week on SparkPeople! I enjoyed letting them count my calories for me. Now that most of my food is entered, the entry goes pretty quickly for each meal.
I have worked out this week and I lost 5 lbs. My weigh-in day is Wed. Saturday is my cheat day each week. I don't over do it too much, just go up to the upper end of my calories. However, I had a maragrita tonight. I will have to see if it was worth it.
Both of my children are home this weekend. We have really had a good time. Not only do the parents like it when the kids are home, but the cat and dog as well!

Diet! Again? Yes!!!!
Here I go again, starting another diet. I am counting calories on Spark People. I have never counted calories before. I was on Weight Watchers (Lifetime membership- lol ing) and counted points.
Spark People is a free site and has some cool apps. I decided to give it a try before enrolling in Weight Watchers online. I am thinking, in the back of my little mind, that I will only do well on a diet if I have to pay something for it. I have so many of the WW plans for the 80's, 90's, etc., but have not stuck with it at home.
Tracking your food daily takes some time. Once I have my food choices set up, I hope it will go a little faster. I measured and weighed myself. Whew!
I am just going to take it a day at a time and try to stick with it for a month. I bought a dress for a wedding in a month. It looks alright, but would look better on me if my middle was a little bit smaller! Of course, the truth comes out! I have an event to attend. At least, it's a start.
I, also, need to get back in the habit of a work out. I was sick for 6 weeks and stopped working out and I have a few other excuses if you would like to hear them. Even tho I am semi-retired, I seem to keep busy. Most days I work 1/2 day and afternoons are free to clean, do laundry, nap, read or work in our Aunt's old house to get it ready for a sale.
Well, today has gone well for the eating portion. I don't seem to be too hungry. I will keep you posted!
