Good summer so far!

I hope everyone's summer is going well. Mine is. I love summer vacation! I can't believe July is over already.

So I bought a new computer since I couldn't take how slow my old one was. Welcome to my new Dell! Nothing like spending money when you aren't making any. Oh well.

As for Weight Watchers, overall this has been a successful summer. I'm still doing the Core plan, although I did switch back to flex for a week when we went to my husband's family reunion out of state. What a mistake that was! I think I enjoyed the "freedom" of having anything and ran out of all my bonus points in two days. Although, I think I would have had a hard time anyway because we stayed at a relative's house....I mean, I can't very well go in and tell them what to make! I tried to help but everything was pretty much done before we got there. So, it wasn't the best of WW vacations. I didn't throw it all out the window though, I journaled, I skipped fattening desserts, and I drank plenty of water. I tried to exercise too. Anything you can do! I gained three pounds that week but had it off and then some the next week. One of the many things I *LOVE* about core is that I can get right back on it after a bad week.

Last night was my husband's brother's birthday, so we were off to my father-in-law's which is usually a disaster food wise for me. But, I ate some couscous before we went, and I DIDN'T EAT A SINGLE THING. That's right, no tortilla chips, no italian dinner, and definitely no cake. Cake is evil. :)

I'll never understand why I can be so good some days and so bad others. So yesterday I was good, but last Sunday I had a major regular ice cream binge. I don't get that. I don't think I ever will, but if I have more good days than bad, I will still lose. And I am. I'm down to 206 now, from an all time high of 286. I can't wait to be under two hundred again!
