Up and Down!

Well, I did my usual at weigh-in the next week - I was up 2/10ths of a pound. But the next week, I was down 3.4 pounds. I think I am going to go every other week, and see if I can hit it on the weeks where I lose the weight. I was very pleased to be able to fit into size 22 jeans - I went from size 26 jeans, to size 22 jeans! Now it is just keeping it up. The day before yesterday, I really blew my diet - I had to use the 35 extra points we get each week. The kids came over to work on the yard for us, and I came out and helped some. But they wanted to order pizza and Papa John's had this special going on that if you ordered a medium two topping pizza, you could get his special cinnapie for free. So we ordered that, and then it turned out that this was the first time we ordered online, so we got a free medium cheese pizza on top of that. !!!! Anyway, I had two slices of pizza, and several pieces of the cinnapie - all delicious. But it came to 36 points for the day, so I had to dip into those 35 points to make it. Yesterday I did much better and had 6 points leftover at the end of the day. I have GOT to get out there and start walking! But I dread it so much - fear of falling, mostly. Maybe we'll end up getting me an exercise bike to use indoors. I also have fears for my safety on the trail. Maybe I'll look into exercise bikes and see how much they run.
I just had my oatmeal, so I am good to go until noon. And I'll have a zero point Progresso soup. I'm thinking tacos for dinner, so I want to save as many points as possible for them. No falling off the wagon this week. In fact, I want to clean out the fridge of any red light foods - just toss them, so they don't seduce me.
