The Proverbial Monday

Why is it that every waits til Monday to start or re-start their "diets"?
Anyway, vacation was great, but I ate too much junk, not enough fruits and veggies and didn't drink enough water! I came home feeling BLOATED! I decided to make out my food plan for the week and stick to it. So far, I have done a decent job, and I am correcting it when I haven't stuck to it for whatever reason. It is helping me to not have to think out portion sizes or points...I do it all on one day and have it for a week. I think this will help with menu planning and grocery shopping too, I hope! I am still trying to find a way to lower our grocery budget, because it is just too high!
I made it back to the gym last week for one day and went today also. We cancelled my old membership at Gold's and joined an athletic club in town that has a pool that is heated and open year round. We have really wanted to be able to take the kids swimming more and the beach just isn't the place to teach them. They have been taking lessons, but being in the pool more is what is helping the most. I am hoping to meet with a trainer in a couple of weeks to get set up on a weight program because I really want and need to do some toning...cardio is good, but building muscle (don't read bulk) is what will help me maintain my weight loss long term.
I plan to start back posting my tracker...starting today. It will be here every night, is what I am thinking, so check back!
Blessings!
