Yes, I gained this week. Not to much of a surprise for me. I had not exercised in over a week and a half. The last two weeks, I am been fight off the flu or cold. I was sick enough to feel lousy and weak, but not sick enough not to eat. I did not cook during this time. My day consisted of working, grabbing dinner for the family out on my way home, eat and sleep. I did not always choose the right foods. I did not journal. I did not get my good health guidelines in and I did not exercise. All of these things played a factor in my gain. Luckily for me it was not worse.  I am so glad I was able to weigh in today and stay for the meeting. Last wednesday was my first attempt to exercise since I got sick. It was my 1 hour Zumba class. Normally the class flies by and it is over quickly. The last class drug on. After 1/2 hour I was so ready to quit and go home to sleep. I was exhusted. I stuck it out for the whole class, but I did not put as much energy as i normally do. Then I walked home afterward. 10 blocks. Which normally not much but I was wiped from the Zumba class. But I did it. It is a new week. I am pushing on. Being at the meeting really motivated me to get back on track. So far so good. I did go over 5 points on Sat but that is what the 35 extra points are for anyway. Today I had 7 pt breakfast burrito from McDonalds and 3 pt fruit and yogurt parfait Later the family went for a walk on the trails. I had 2 pieces of bread 3pt as a snack.  For lunch I had steamed Tilapia and broccoli/carrots with some cheese and a yogurt for another 5 points. I still have 15 points left and 1 meal to go. I am also going to bowl 3 games tonight as well. Take care.
