long slow road

Well this week was pretty tough. Eric had been sick and we have both been feeling stressed and down waiting to hear back on test results. The good news is it's nothing serious the bad news is they aren't really sure what's wrong. We should hear Monday on the bacterial culture and more blood work.
Needless to say this week we basically ate nothing but comfort food. I tried to stick to the healthier snacks but didn't get a drop of exercise in. So I only lost a half a pound. Eric on the other hand lost 3 pounds this week! The doctor told him it was time for a life style change and I think with the "we don't know" diagnosis it scared him enough to take it seriously this time. He's cut way back on beer and is starting to be more mindful of his points.
I hate that it took a scare like this to make him get serious about getting healthy but glad that we are staying sooner rather than later.
Complete derailment from previous topic.
today we are doing a cook everything day. In which we prepare a months worth of meals and freeze them. I got all my recipes from laaloosh.com, skinnykitchen.com, and food.com (search under weight watchers recipes). I am really excited to try some of them! Especially the nutella banana bread!
I find it so much easier to be good when I have meals made ahead. Especially since starting after Valentine's day I am going to become very busy and have zero time for cooking during the week.  I got cast  in a play! It's a rally physical show so will hopefully help with the exercise!
Anyway how's it going this week? Any achievements or bragging? (Half a pound!) Any set backs ore general gripes? (I miss juice)
Keep your chin up! If you don't then you just spend the whole day staring at your boobs!
