Lazy, late, and limping
Yesterday afternoon I was stepping on the steps from my deck down onto a stepping stone. I didn’t realize that there was a 2 inch gap from the stepping stone to the ground, stepped on the edge of the stone and subsequently turned my ankle. It’s okay. Maybe a tad puffy and a little stiff but no bruising or anything. So that throws a wrench into my plan to go run today. Oh, well I can start in a day or two when the ankle is not stiff and puffy. I think I will strength train instead to day. I will do TBL DVD! That should kick my fat, flabby, butt! 
Yesterday went well! I stayed underneath 1700 calories. My official total was 1673. I tracked my food on sparkpeople, because it is free. Sometimes it is hard to find the right food to log so many times I will just enter it myself. It takes longer that way, but I know for certain that the calorie totals are correct. Sparkppl scolded me for going over my fat goal. My goal is to stay under 58 grams and I consumed 64. Ogf course I didn’t realize I had a fat goal until the day was over! LOL! Still not bad though. Despite the turned ankle I walked for 35 minutes. So I am happy with my first day back on the wagon! 
What I ate yesterday…
B-fast
Naked protein juice smoothie 8 oz
Lunch
LC Tortilla crusted fish (yummy)
2 T tartar sauce (largely good fats)
2 pcs Dove dark chocolate (good fats antioxidants)
Dinner
Grilled chicken Breast strips, 6 OZ (yummy)
Chicken Rice, 1 cup
1/2 C sweet peas
Hot dog (no bun)
Little Debbie Chocolate Creme Cake
Snack
2 mandarin oranges
Okay so everything I ate wasn’t the most nutritious stuff, but I promised myself that I would be allowed to eat what I want. I ate many healthy things as well. Small steps will get you big rewards.
I weighed in this morning at 224.6!!! That’s up 1.6 pounds from yesterday, but TOM arrived yesterday so I am thinking maybe its water. BLAH! Its still down from 2 days ago when I weighed in at 226! So I’m not sweating it!
I’m late this morning, not that I have anything to do, but I didn’t get my butt out of bed until 11:00! I hate when that happens because I feel like I wasted the entire day away! I’m drinking my breakfast the other half of the naked protein drink I drank for b-fast yesterday. I am not enjoying it as much today. It is a little bit grittier than it was yesterday. It was gritty yesterday but I could ignore it because it tasted so good. Not happening today. Maybe I didn’t shake it up as well as I thought I did yesterday?? Oh well, I will chugg it down and get on with it.
Lunch will be a ham sandwich (Under 300 cals), tortilla chips and salsa. DInner is till up in the air. i think BF is wanting to cook out again. I’ll make sure to save plenty of calories!
My son just walked up and told me that my elbows “Look old.” This from a 5 year old!! Now he has brought me a small watermelon from off the kitchen counter and is chanting “Last melon…last melon!” (Ice age fans will recognize the reference). I guess I should get off of here and feed him. Have a great day chicks!

My DS has been creating workout and training routines so that I won’t be “fat” anymore. Gotta love them! I hope your ankle feels better!
Weighing every day makes you nutty. So don’t.

And Little Debbie.. ugh. if you are going to eat cake, at least waste the calories on GOOD cake!!
