Crazy Busy Week
I spent two days with my family. One day was with my mom and the other day was with my whole family and specifically with me taking pictures of my niece and nephews. My niece and nephews are awesome and so much fun to be with...so the photoshoot was quite enjoyable....at least for me!
We also spent quite a bit of time running errands. We had to get a battery for the old car and hit up a bunch of stores. We also managed to get in a walk on the canal! The weather was fabulous and I had fun playing with my camera a bit on that walk also!
Tracking food at the wrong Time
I had some meals where my calories were super high. On two separate occasions I ordered food at a restaurant (and/or takeout) and didn't calculate my calories BEFORE I ordered or BEFORE I ate! The first time was when my mom, my brother and I grabbed lunch together on Friday. I ordered a cheeseburger and it came with french fries. I also nibbled off the nacho appetizer that we ordered. I tracked it...for sure. I tracked it. However, I didn't track it until after I ate! Ooops....1700 calories down the hatch...and since I didn't track my food until AFTER I ate it, I had no way to adjust the amount to make it more calorically nice. But moving on.On Saturday after our walk on the canal Jason and I decided to order from Uno's. I remembered that their pizzas were good and when it came up in a conversation we decided to do it. I remembered correctly, it was good. I seriously should have learned my lesson from Friday. But oh no....I scarfed down my pizza and then decided to track it. Holy cow...that pizza was 1800 calories! YIKES!
Lessons learned....I am not going to beat myself up over it. I can only move on and vow to do better next time!
Regrouping
I have been spending a lot of time thinking and planning about my future in this weight loss journey. I am actually getting excited about my plans. I am excited about really delving into this journey and seeing results. I KNOW I can do it. I know that I am worth the time. I know that it will take a lot of work and willpower. But I am ready! Bring it on!!!

You got this!!! Keep up the great work!
When we get busy like that it's easy to forget things until later, you had a great time with family and got in your work out so thats a win :-)
So nice to get together with family, especially in this odd year!! Looking forward to hearing your new plans!
Keep going you will do it...
Me too! I have several ideas. I hope you share your plan as I am trying to figure out what I am not doing. I have been real discouraged wit the myself and thought of giving up but I cannot.
