The End & The Beginning

After a weekend like what I had, I knew that the HCG diet was not for me.  I had gone down 172 but then after the weekend I was at 178!!!!!  Crazy!  So I decided to stop taking the drops.  I have been dieing to get some exercise into my routine again so I decided to do just that.
Last night I was craving a salad from Izzy's.  They have a great salad bar.  The down side is they also have a pizza bar and other food bar.  So I needed a friend to go with me.  So I posted on facebook and found a friend who had just come back from a 6 day flying trip (she is a flight attendant) and she was hungry and glad to join me.  So we headed on over.  There are two of their pizzas I like...the veggie one! and the artichoke one!  So yeah, I decided to have 1 each of that along with a huge plate of salad.  So I ate a huge plate of salad first and went and got the two pieces of pizza and decided to fill the extra space with some more of the salad.  They have premixed lettuce sometimes and I wanted to try the combinations.  So after that, I decided I needed more pizza so I got two more veggie slices because the artichoke was all gone.  And then I decided to skim the dessert buffet and walked away for 4 things.  YIKES!  Then they had just put out fresh artichoke (and that is hard to come by because it disappears so fast.  So I went and grabbed three slices.  Mind you, these are small pieces.  Three of them equal one slice from Pizza hut or where ever.  
But anyway, I came home and I had made a complete mind set to quit the HCG and that's when I decided I was going on a walk.  It was about 8:15pm and the sun was going down.  So I just decided to make my way around the neighborhood.  And I tried to walk vigorously.  It was exhilarating.  And now this morning I sat out on the front porch with my tea.
  On the HCG you don't eat breakfast and I didn't really have breakfast food so I decided to make my home made strawberry ice cream.  Not sure if I posted it before but it's a handful of strawberries and a 1/2 cup water and about on tablespoon of and artificial sweetener.  I used a truvia packet.  YUM YUM.  Well I after eating that a browsing some weight loss websites I was a bit cold.  I remembered I have a back patio that is in the sun in the morning.  So I transferred my Ceylon tea to the back and here I sit. It's hard to take a picture of myself so I took a reflection picture through my laptop. HAA  BY the way, you can see I am in need of a table or something to set up my work station outside.  If anyone has one (even if it's run down) can you let me know?  I could really use one.  I would love to do my homework outside on these sunny days.
I just noticed my reflection in the mirror and I realized I already got a bit of a tan.  So I had to run in and put SPF 15 on so I don't burn.  Anyway, now I hear my homework calling me so I better get to it.
