First day of that new start ...

So the holiday weekend is over.  Thank goodness.  Too much crap, too little activity, too much just sitting around and "visiting".  Don't get me wrong, visiting is nice but when its just co-dependently reinforcing bad behaviors its not good.  Here are some pictures taken of me over the weekend:






Ugh but it is what it is.  Am I a bad friend for not approving the tag request on Facebook for these? 

Anyhow, off to a new start.  Logged today's meals/snacks.  Chugging water.  Plan to walk the dogs tonight after work which will provide some much-needed exercise.  Chugging more water and trying not to think about the sodas which I've gotten back into drinking AGAIN.  Just printed the YMCA's pool schedule so I can plan my workouts for the remainder of the week. 

I did have one non-scale victory this week.  On Saturday we went to Harpers Ferry, WV where we walked the hills and did a bit of shopping.  While we didn't end up staying or walking around as much as I would has liked - it was far too hot and humid and after about an hour we made our escape! - I had zero problem walking the hills.  The last time we were there was 3 1/2 years ago, before my knee replacement.  That visit was so difficult and painful as my left knee was in very bad shape.  This time my knees both felt completely fine and more than up to the task of walking the Harpers Ferry sidewalks.  I'll take that victory :)
