Oh No, What did I do? #7

Let me start by apologizing for it being so long since I’ve blogged. I went out of town to Naples. I had a wonderful time. Obviously too good of a time. I really thought I was careful about eating. Yes, I did eat things I shouldn’t have. Starting with Pizza on Friday night. Let me start by saying it was one of the best pizza’s I‘ve ever had. I’m not sure if it was the pizza or that fact that it’s been a while since I’ve had pizza.  Saturday morning was a huge breakfast, but I think I was pretty good. I only ate the eggs, one little turkey sausage patty and maybe two tablespoons full of hash browns with cheese.  I had to try them, they looked so delicious. We went to the pool. I stayed active in the pool even doing some water aerobics. We went to a wonderful restaurant for appetizers. I ate sautéed veggies (asparagus, broccolini, and red peppers) Tuna Sashimi and Carpaccio. Everything was delicious and really tried to stay healthy.

I made up my own drink (a martini) and the bartender was trying to think up a name for it. Someone finally came up with the name of Spicy Di. It was cucumber and lime infused Vodka with a splash of club soda and freshly squeezed lime juice with jalapeno garnish. I loved it and it didn’t have any sugar in it which was my goal. We went and say Bad Teacher at the movies. Pretty funny, but just wait till it comes out on DVD.  The movie theatre was awesome. Huge soft leather seats with an ark rest that is about 8 or 9 inches wide to hold your popcorn. Very Comfy. Sunday we went to the pool again, more exercise and then Jack and I walked to the beach which was about ½ mile away. I thought at the least I was going to maintain the weight I lost. So when I got on the scale Monday morning, I was very depressed. I gained most of my weight back. I couldn’t believe it. I was trying to be so careful.  Yes, I was depressed but to be honest with you, it was worth it because I had a wonderful weekend with people I love. You can’t put a price on spending time with the ones you love. Anyway, I think I was embarrassed to blog about my weight gain. But I guess I’m going to have to tell about the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Since then, I’ve lost back two of the pounds and I am not going to give up, I promise.  Anyway, I now have a goal in mind. September 29^th I am going to New York to the Wine and Food Festival and I want to lose at least 30 lbs. by then. So keep cheering me on and pray that I have the strength to keep up the exercising and eating right even when I don’t feel like it. Blog you Later!
