The reason I haven't posted is because I've been doing terribly. I can eat well - up until dinner time. I can exercise - up until the weekend. I can not drink - up until the kids are gone to their dads's. I CAN'T keep all areas under control at once to save my life!
My trip to Vegas really undermined my resolve. I've made half-hearted attempts at restarting everything a new but have only made it through three days or so.
I need to kick start things off again...

Things In Life Can Waylay Efforts
I know I haven't written in a while. Last Thursday when I weighed in at 169.8. I actually GAINED four ounces.
Wednesday my pedometer died. I walked the park outside the office four times but still only had 2000 steps registered. I thought it was because of where I was wearing it that day. The next day I went to IKEA at lunch. I parked as far from the building as I could. I walked around for an hour - and it registered 800 steps. How frustrating! Friday I went home sick from work and I didn't walk a single extra step all weekend. That is just terrible.
In my mind I knew I should get out. I didn't compensate by lessening what I ate. I didn't drink nearly enough water. In fact, I had a weekend much like every other weekend of my life before this attempt.
Monday, the weather was a bit more co-operative than the weekend. (Which was COLD, rainy, sometimes snowy even!) I was able to head out from my desk three times and make it around the park four times. Still didn't make it to 10k steps that way but I did get to 8k.
Then all hell broke loose at home. My oldest decided to skip school. When I heard (from my husband who happened to go home early that day) I jumped straight into my car and flew home only to find her boyfriend naked hanging out in her room. This is the third time she's pulled this stunt. Long story short - she left yesterday. I can't say she ran away because she's 18, but she decided to try and life off on her own. I know she's been wanting to for a while. My biggest worry is that she won't finish school. She's only got 2.5 months left!
Another "diet buster"? I did have beer last night. Only two though. And I did get over 10k steps in because I went out after dinner to clear my head. And I did drink my water yesterday. Of course I cried some of it out. I'm better now. Clearer perspective. There's not much I can do and I still have two other kids that need me. Pickin' myself up, brushing myself off...starting a new day.
