-49 points

You may wonder what the -49 points is all about. Well, I have had such a bad week that I am 49 points in the hole. I have eaten all of my weekly points and am at a deficit that equals my weekly allowance. The only way to salvage this week is if I exercise 49 points worth AND not overeat.

It all started out with going to dinner with my dear husband. We went to Outback Steakhouse and ate an awesome meal (can we say 80 point day). Saturday I did okay, but the night turned really shitty because of a certain 4 y.o that will remain anonymous. Coping mechanism = food and wine. Sunday, dear husband brought home extra-crispy Kentucky Fried Chicken, then I drove my mom to the airport, eating McDonald's on the way home. I hadn't entered anything since Saturday night, so I didn't know how far in the hole I was.

Sunday night I was all set to go work out. But a certain news conference announcing that a certain effing terrorist was dead brought out the celebratory bottle of champagne. (We had 2 bottles of champagne left over from our wedding that we've just sort of held on to, thinking we'd open them on anniversaries or something like that.) OBL being dead was a good enough celebration, RIP 343, especially Doug Oeschlager and John Napolitano.

Monday, today, my husband was really nice and suggested swimming with the kids. Good amount of exercise, earned back 6 points. We went to Izzy's for lunch and I ate smart, even had a small dessert as well.

Then, I entered in all the food and found out how far in the hole I was. OMG! There is no way I am going to make up this deficit. So, tonight, after I got home from class, I went out for a run. And I did, it was a 61 minutes of 2 minutes fast walking and 2 min jogging. I figured 3.5 miles in 60 minutes wasn't so bad. I earned a total 10 activity points.

So, here I am, 11 o'clock at night, posting and realizing I am going to be one sore person in the morning. I still have 12 points left for the day. I know they won't count to bring down my deficit, but I am not hungry right now and I don't want to eat. I just want another 2 glasses of water.

How will this week go? I have hope that I won't gain, but looking at the numbers, I don't see how that is possible.

Ah, the ramblings of an endorphin high non-jogger
