Been so busy lately and somehow didn't post my weekly weigh-in from last Thursday. It was disappointing but not surprising. Big goose egg! No loss, no gain. I won't be ridiculous and try to trick myself by saying I have no idea what happened, because I do. Very little exercise, and more sugar and carbs than I needed. Stayed within my Points, but clearly I needed to regroup for this week. Exercising is not going well. I am finding it difficult to make time for it. Notice I did not say that I don't have the time. We all have the same number of hours in a day, but I'm not making it a priority for some reason. Some weeks are like that, and I'm not going to get down about it. I just need to move my butt.
So here's some more odds and ends from last week:
Medical:
Went for my yearly "well woman" checkup last week. Now that I'm 40, I get to go for a mammogram. Wheee! Actually, I'm not scared! I've had a few already, and it's not a big deal. The doctor also put me on medication for my PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), and I'm having lots of tummy aches from it. Supposed to get better though, which will be great.
Got my flu shot Wednesday! I was way braver than my kids (they got the nasal mist), but nobody offered me a lollipop. Guess they sensed my Weight Watcherness and respected my boundaries.
Had to get a new box of my vitamins. They've changed the formula a little, and now it contains 7 tablets per day instead of 6. So this means I am now taking 13 pills per day. In a week, I'll up one of my medications, and it will be 14 pills per day. I accidentally missed a time or two on various meds, so I made a decision. I had to do it, even though I didn't want to. I went full-on old-lady mode and bought this:

Events and Food:
Tuesday was a luncheon to hear an author discuss the time he spent with legendary CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite. Together they wrote a book called Conversations with Cronkite.

It was a very interesting presentation. The food, however, was one of those slip-ups that led to my ZERO WEEK at WW, though. They served salad, which was already dressed with a little Ranch. Not swimming in it, no big deal. But the main dish was white rice (I had about half of it), nice veggies (naked), and -- lest you think it was a healthy lunch -- chicken cordon bleu. Yes, that's right - Chicken stuffed with cheese and ham, then breaded and drenched in cream sauce. What's that? Yeah, you guessed it. I ate about half of it. Oh, well...
I was telling my friend and neighbor Denise about a recipe I read for quinoa. It's hard to find in our little town, but she saw some while she was at the grocery store and picked it up for me! She's so sweet! I haven't yet tried it, because it seems like we've had something going on almost every night and I haven't cooked. I'll let you know how it goes.
Oh, yeah, and did I mention how famous I am? My picture was in the local magazine from when I was at the Breast Cancer Gala. Hit the big-time, let me tell ya'!
Have a wonderful week!
