Yikes!

Blame it on the sports writers!

I have to miss Tuesday's bootcamp for another game of the week (this time it's girls basketball: Statesville at Lake Norman, if you're interested in watching the highlights afterward).

Other than missing two bootcamps in a row, I think it's safe to say I'm back on the wagon. I dropped all my Thanksgiving weight and am back down to 169 (-2). Next week is a weigh-in for Maintain Don't Gain, so I'm hoping to do "double-time" and drop maybe one pound more before then.

It's hard to lose weight in the winter. Cold weather means hot soups, and my favorites are cream-based. It also means weekends filled with football tailgating (well, hopefully if App keeps chugging in the post-season).

So while I'm on a tiny involuntary vacation from bootcamp, here's how I did yesterday:

cereal with skim: 200
Brookdale's french onion soup: I'm guessing 200, with half of it coming from the cheese on top. It is divine on a cold day.
Brookdale's half chicken salad sandwich: 500
bag of M&Ms: 250 (does it make it better if I say I was walking around the block while I ate them?)
Can of potato, broccoli cheese soup: 360
total: 1,510 calories

exercise:
1 mile on treadmill and 15 minutes of abs: -175
A fast-paced walk around the block with a friend: You didn't think I was really going to count that did you?
