week 8

To put it bluntly, + 1/2 lbs

I am being totally honest. . .I didn’t even try this week, and it shows. I was happy, eh more like satisfied, at the weigh in this morning to have stayed under a 27 BMI, but I did gain a half a pound back. I am feeling a little burnt out on this. It doesn’t help that money is a little tight and we have been skimping on some healthier items at the grocery store to finish up eating what we already have at home. I am struggling giving up wine in the evenings, it helps relax me but not so good for my health. Maybe some baby steps are in order and I need some tonic water. This warmer weather has put me in the mood for some mexican food on a patio with a  margarita and good friends. The friends are great for my mental health but the Mexican food is not as good for my physical health. Where is the happy medium?

In other relevant news, the garden is tilled and I am STOKED to start planting and harvesting fresh vegetables at home! Come on good weather! Maybe working in the garden will burn a few extra calories and will produce some healthy food for sure. Started the onions in door this week J, felt good to get some dirt under my nails.
