Started...again!

How many times have I re-started this in 2007 alone!?!?! ok, so here it goes...I have not weighed in since last spring, but I will set-up my scale and post a morning weight tomorrow (too much coffee in my tummy right now). Last spring I was around 160. I'm 5'7", so that is only slightly high for me, but I am way too flabby and do not really belong at the very top of my range. Though I am still far from the 202 that I was when I joined WW back in 2000, I am not comfortable. I need to lose about 15 pounds again and tone. I know I can do this, but it's so easy to let life and bad habits get in the way.
Yesterday (8/20/07): Started the day with an invigorating Tae Bo work out. It felt really good, though I did want to stop after 15 or 20 minutes, but I didn't, I finished the whole thing! Had a veggie and egg white scramble for breakfast, only 1 or 2 pts, not bad. Ran errands and ended up getting In N Out for lunch...could have gotten Subway, but In N Out is cheaper! Old habits hit and I ordered my cheese burger animal style which I'm sure adds atleast 2 pts! I'll have too work on remembering hamburger with mustard and pickles..I'm sure I'll like it and it will be half the pts! Atleast I didn't eat too many fries, only 2 orders w/2 adults and 3 kids. then we had Aja's party last night..too busy helping to munch too many ships, so that was good...unfortunately so was my mother-in-laws cooking. I filled my plate...salad, chicken, flank steak, 1/2 twice baked potato, beans, corn relish...14pts, maybe? Then I went back for some of the fruit sald I had made...then dessert, apple crisp, which was not so great actually, so I did not finish it. I had a couple ultra light beers too....I'm thinking yesterday was more than 30 pts, which will not work for loosing so I really need to scale back.
Today (8/21/07): No work out this morning, need to let my body rest, but I am going swimming this afternoon with Aja and the kids. That should be nice and low impact, but still movement. Oatmeal for breakfast, yum...w/soy milk it's about 3 pts. I plan on having a light, protein rich lunch, then I'm going out to dinner with my mom tonight. Don't know where yet, but it will probably be good, so today should be fine. I just need to make sure i get plenty of water and fruits and veggies.
Sorry this was so long winded...but now I'm started and they should not be so crazy.
