WHINE

I did not like the scale yesterday at WW.  I knew it would not be a good situation.  I have been struggling with a stomach bug for the better part of 3 weeks.  I was feeling better this week or so I thought.  And the next thing you know I find myself curled up in a ball on the floor of a conference room trying to make it through cramping.  WTH is that?!  So I didnt do much this week in the way of exercise or healthy eating.  I didnt think the eating was that far off but I did eat anything that seemed good...  and obviously the scale doesnt lie.
I was feeling better by the end of this week but went out with a bang last night.  I had wine (UGH both red and white), chips, salsa and a nasty cheese dip...  For so many reasons and not the ones previously mentioned I feel nasty today.  Guess it makes it a good way to get a start on all the things on my mind to accomplish.
A delayed new year's resolution?  I wouldnt call it that.  Just a delayed jump start for the year.
So I am still at down 20 pounds since last year at this time.  And I am looking to lose another 10.
I have decided that I need to cut out the alcohol to really get the last 10 off.  It has become such a pass time of hanging out with friends.  Everyone seems to draw a blank if posed with the challenge of finding something else to do when we get together.  So there is always food and wine or beer.  I am just tired of it.  I doubt that will go over well with anyone.  And I know some will laugh at me... Say that I go through this every year at this time.  But I am OK with that.
I am looking at this as a jump start on Lent and giving up something.
It is a jump start on so much. 
I am using the 2013 game plan from Whole Living.  It starts in week one with just fruits, vegetables and lentils - oh and nuts and healthy oils.  They don't discuss caffeine or dairy anywhere so I am assuming it is not on the list.  I have successfully made the transition to decaf coffee and tea.  I do have a half gallon of milk in the fridge so I wont be going dairy free until that has been consumed.
The breakfasts for week one are all about smoothies.  What type of blender do you use to make your smoothies?  I have a regular blender and I have a hand held.  I have spent the better part of the week looking at other options but have decided to stick with what I have.
Today is a mango variety - of course I am already off course as I didnt buy tahini (I have some all natural peanut butter), I have a banana (which is odd as I never buy bananas), I used coconut water instead of plain water, and some lime juice.  I know it sounds awful doesnt it?
Well I havent blended it yet - still getting through coffee cup two...
From here I will be going to work - yes, it is a Saturday but I have some things that need to be finished... and figured a quiet day in the office may be the best way to accomplish that.
And hopefully by the time I am done it will be warmer out and a walk/run will be in order.
Was thinking of going to see Argo.  Still unsure if that will happen.
