Mondays are not my friend

Monday and I am down about 9 pounds which I see as a victory. Let's see if I can carry this through to another week and some more weight loss.

I am still drinking the smoothies each morning (haven't missed one yet, knock on wood) but I think I'm sticking with week 1 smoothies as the ones listed on week 2 sound a bit questionable. Not sure if I want to venture into that territory. Papaya and cocoa powder? Yeah, not that adventurous.

Exercise yesterday was Turbo Sculpt. Lots of squats and lunges which is good I guess, but I'm a bit sore today. I think tonight will be cardio.

I did cheat on Saturday eating a Sonic burger, onion rings and a big ol' cherry limeade for lunch and then had meatloaf, mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese for dinner. I'm sure I burned every extra point I had and then some, but didn't even bother putting it into the system. I guess that's bad and I should have documented it but didn't want to face the reality of what that would cost. I resolve to do better next time and make sure I put it in even if I don't want to see it.

My joy at the small weight loss is tempered by the sadness of the tragedy in Arizona. I hope this will cause the many overzealous politicians and political pundits to rethink what they say before they say them. For anyone that says that the violent overtones of many political campaigns were not at least a contributing factor, I say shame on you. Give peace a chance.
