My little gymnast

I signed Poppy up for a free-trial class at The Little Gym. After much wailing gnashing of teeth (on my part; Poppy was a peaceful little passenger) when I thought I’d gotten lost but I had really just been impatient and thought I’d gone too far and turned around right across the road from the place (ha!), we got there with about 15 seconds to spare before the “Beasties” class started.

I was disappointed that the instructor spun nary a Beastie Boys record, but Poppy had a blast regardless. As the words, “You can hold her if she’s not ready to participate” left the instructor’s mouth, Poppy let go of my hand and rushed over to join the horde of children running in circles around the mommies, the daddy and the nannies in attendance. That’s right. There were nannies! This might be too posh for me. There were also children named SpencerAnna and Arcadia. Of course, with a Poppy running around the house, who am I to talk?

I haven’t decided yet whether we’re going to sign up for regular classes. But Poppy did love it, and she ate a huge lunch (including sweet potatoes!) and is now taking a monster nap.

On the right track

I didn’t get a chance to finish my orange this morning, and I was starving by the time lunch rolled around. Overall, though, it was a much better day than yesterday. I haven’t actually had dessert yet, but I’m going to! By golly!

Rachael Ray’s Vegetable Red Curry was good, easy and filling, but it was hot. I’ll make it again, but I’ll cut down on the red curry paste next time.

Half an orange … 0.5

Lunch … 7.5
Amy’s Southwestern burrito … 6

Resolve

Awhile back I said I was trying to lose some weight. Since then I’ve lost a grand total of half a pound. Not stellar work on my part.

I’ve been doing Weight Watchers via their online program. I should say I’ve been paying for the WW online program, because I certainly haven’t been following it. So I’ve decided I’m going to start going to their meetings again, and I’m going to make more of an effort to post on here about the whole weight-loss scene. Because I know it’s just a terrifically interesting subject.

Anyway.

Amy and I talked this weekend about emailing each other our food journals everyday. I’m going to take it a step further. I’m posting them here.

I was traveling yesterday, so I’m cutting myself a little slack for it being such a wretched day, Points-wise.
