I had a great Zumba class this morning with Ronnie, one of my favorites, as well as a surprise guest instructor I know, Jasmine. I danced until I was bright red, sopping with sweat, weak in my legs, and happy as a clam at high tide, lol!
I came home to find that my sweetie had put a vase of tulips, a tin of little shortbread cookies, and a small box of dark chocolate covered cranberries. We looked at using some timeshare points, trying to find some time at Vegas (available)or Tahoe (not so much, a day here and there until September).
I've tried to log honestly the pig-out I fell into after my partner left for a family gathering that I wouldn't be comfortable at. Left cranky because no one would have much fun there. Mom, at 93, is losing her memory, and has a companion/caregiver come in five days a week. She forgets what day it is, what time someone will take her to her grandson's for Easter Dinner, etc. Sigh.
I've eaten more than I burned today, I'm sure, and my partner's on the way with ham from the early dinner. I'll have to confess that I finished off the box of chocolate cranberries, a slice of my banana nut bread, a bucket of healthy pop kettle corn, and so on. I'm not hungry (duh), I feel ill and foolish.
I honestly haven't had any fruit of vegetables today, unless you count the banana in the bread and the corn in the kettle corn as a vegetable. Oh, I guess the dry roasted edamame I had for lunch could be considered a veggie; or is it a legume? Lots of protein, at least. Oh my.
Tomorrow is another day, I'll go to Zumba Gold in the morning, and do much better with my food. I start a challenge in a few days; I don't really need to gain weight so my partner won't think I'm too thin if I do lose 15 pounds in the challenge. :oD
Wish me well, my friends a fellow travelers on this road to health.

Oh my Kitkat - this theme seems to be running through our little FS community including yours truly. But you're here, thinking about it and ready to do better another day. Good to hear from you.

I ate a pear! And a piece of ham, on top of everything else; I felt like a beached whale tonight .
Tomorrow will be a new beginning. I'll plan menus like I've done so well in the past, do all the right things that helped me lose 70+ lbs and feel great. My partner will have to be on board, will want to be. Incredible baked (ground turkey breast) meatballs and broccoli, possibly whole grain pasta, for dinner tomorrow night. I may make a rare root stew when I get home from the gym tomorrow. I have the fennel, turnips, parsnips, carrots, sunchokes, etc. I feel the need for veggies!
More and more I feel drawn to delicious, nutritious foods.

That's a good sign. Your body is telling you what it wants. I was thinking about the 'lose 15lb' challenge and it's interesting you feel you need to gain so you can participate and lose. Maybe you need a different challenge - like - maintenance?

I didn't really plan on gaining weight so I could fit in the challenge, hahaha! I figured having about 12 pounds to go back to my lowest weight would be close enough. I did join the home stretch challenge.
I prefer to keep my goal weight where it is, even if I was happiest below it. Now that I've gone above it, I know that 135 is the heaviest I ever want to be. Having MS, needing my other knee replaced eventually, I don't want to set myself up for failure by setting my goal weight too low.
I am only 5' 2 1/2" tall.
