We had steak and shrimp fajitas last night...also good but I could have done them better. Oh well, I'll know what to do differently next time. I'm thinking of doing oven fried chicken tonight, though I should do the calzones tonight since I'll have the calories for it. Maybe Wednesday.
I was 256.8 this morning. Still higher than Wednesday, but lower than Saturday. Today is another C25K day, though. Just gotta focus less on the scale and more on what I'm doing for my body.
Louie has definitely been more supportive of my weight loss efforts this time, and maybe it's because I'm not really doing any drastic "plan" or anything - just trying to eat better. He doesn't really want to do the C25K program with me, but said he'd do his boot camp app while I do this one. Plus we talked about trying to exercise while Colby's around. We want him to see us do it, so he realizes it's a normal, healthy, and important thing to do. Right now, he sees us come home from picking him up, and me walking out from work, and he and Louie play a video game, while I make dinner. Then we watch TV while we eat, play games after, and then go up to bed. Not a lot of activity. And even if Louie and I exercise during lunch, he doesn't see us do it. So we're going to try to exercise in the evenings with him. Louie brought out Wii Fit, so he and Colby have been playing that.
I think I need to shift my focus from the scale to just getting in the exercise and eating better. Which sucks because I'm in this Biggest Loser competition and there's $50 on the line! ;) But I think the weight will catch up if I just try to get in activity and continue eating better. I've been doing REALLY well with eating for over a month now - 41 days today to be exact. I'm getting at least 3 veggie servings a day and 1 fruit, but this week, I'm bumping that up. I got fruit, yogurt, and granola, so I'm having fruit and yogurt parfaits some mornings. I also got some hummus and raw veggies to have with or for my lunches. I figured I needed to add some variety because I was starting to eat the same things day after day. I don't want to get sick of what I'm eating and then get bored with being good.

Hopefully my day gets better as it goes along!
