Notes on a Sunday

Yesterday didn't work out well. I earned only 5 points. I ended up eating a very non-nutritious dinner at Katy's house. I had a pretzel with cheese (what was I thinking?!?!) at the Transiberian Orchestra Concert. Yuck. I feel yucky. I need to eat well today, that's for sure.
I'm going to change my eating plan to have 4 fruits and 3 breads. Currently, I'm having 3 fruits and 4 breads. But I love fruit. I think this will help me feel better about what I'm eating. When I feel like having more bread or starches, I remind myself that these are the foods that got me looking the way I am, and then I find that I don't want them.
We are out of money again. Jim purchased my tomtom from the bank account and didn't tell me, so we are in real danger of bouncing a check. I'm thankful the cars are full of gas. He gets paid again on Friday, so I guess I won't go to the grocery store this week. I have to remember to ask Jim if he has the money from the shoes he returned or if it will show up in the bank account. I hope it will go to the bank. I also need to tell him not to use his debit card at all this week.
I'm still deciding whether I want to go to the gym and get on the elliptical machine or stay home and do a fitness ball DVD. My pilates class starts tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous. I've never done pilates in a class.
Tomorrow the kids go back to school, so I'm determined to get up and work out and work on my book.
The first week of my plan went okay. I can certainly work the plan better. But I didn't do too horribly, either. I have 41 points after a week; a week that included a major eating and drinking holiday. If I take out the two-day holiday, I averaged 7 points each day. I can live with that for the first week of the new me.
Overall, I'd say I'm pretty happy with my behavior this week, and I know next week will be better!
