Still drawing!

I lost 0.6 at my weigh in on Saturday.  It's a loss. I'm glad to be loosing.  But I was a bit disappointed in the number.  I thought I had done better than half a pound.  *sigh*.  So, I'm not exactly "back to the ol' drawing board", but I am still drawing.  If I keep up the behavior that caused a loss I will keep loosing.  If I can improve that behavior I should loose more. 

It's Tuesday already and I can't say that I have even kept up that behavior so far.  I was all set to be journaling starting on the weekend.  And I haven't written down 1 thing!  Nor have I made a menu for the week.  (Although I do have the chef on board.  He said he'd try it for the month of February and see where it gets us.  He thinks it is a good idea and has promised to cook as long as it doesn't turn into a set schedule: Chicken on Monday, Fish on Friday, Salad on Wednesday, etc.  We already try to make Tuesday and Thursday simple.  The kids have come to expect "sandwich night", though we don't do it all the time.  Those are the days when the evenings are packed with activities and the family is too busy to cook and eat a big meal.  After homework and chores, we have time to squeeze in dinner together and then the kids go to their martial arts classes.) 

But even if I fall off, I have learned that I can't just throw the whole week in the can.  I can get up again right now and start over.  Soooo....  my homework tonight is to put together the basic menu.  I'll do it while the kids are doing their own homework.  And I'll try to make a plan for journaling.  I think it will take planning ahead, so I'll start there.  Fingers crossed.  I have 4 full days before I weigh in again.  I'm shooting for a loss again this week!

Have a great week!!
