Day Six - Something about eating

What's the saying about eating something or being eaten? Does it mean some days you do good and other days you don't? Odd expressions we have.

The Goal:

Run or run-walk one mile.

The Reality:

Yeah, massive fail today. I planned to get up and go to the gym before the 9 a.m. Weight Watchers meeting. Oddly, falling asleep at 3:30 a.m. made that not happen. Funny that, eh? But I did get to the meeting.

Around 10:15, I put on my sneakers and headed out. And... made it about 100 yards before every fiber of my being was saying "the hell with this," so back home for Holly.

Which apparently was the predecessor to me catching up on that lost sleep.

And I intended to actually get out or to the gym in the late afternoon, but.... you know what they say about the road to Hell. Sigh.

Saturday Special: The Weigh-In Day (one Saturday a month and possibly one day a week depending on certain red tape):

138 lbs


Today's Suck:

See above. Total fail on the goal. Oh, and I've gained 3 lbs in the last six weeks.

Today's Success:

Ummmm.... I didn't go out and eat copious amounts of pizza and ice cream? Oh, I made a good smoothie. Try this.

3 cups spinach
1/3 cup liquid egg whites (the pasteurized kind, in the carton)
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen dark cherries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
2/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 tsp agave syrup
1 tsp cinnamon

It's pretty good. It gets thick though, so you might want to increase the amount of milk. You can use orange juice if you prefer.
