Lbs Lost Total: – 15.4
WW Stars Earned this Week: None
Food of the Week
I made homeade spaghetti and meatballs this week (gluten-free), which was a real treat! I made sure to include a fresh salad with fresh tomatoes and peppers from the garden. I bought a gigantic tub of spinach and baby lettuce leaves so we are having a salad with dinner about every night now. It has also served as lunch for me during the day with some tuna or other vegetables added in.
Activity of the Week
While my ankle is healing, it is still tender to the touch, which means I have been easy on it the past three weeks now. We were at Wagfest (a festival for dogs) all day Saturday and while I wasn’t exercising per say, I was moving around and got a lot of fresh air on a short dog walk Saturday and again on Sunday (Monday was National Dog Day in case you missed it). Being outside in nature definitely helped improve my mood, but I am sure a lack of regular physical activity for this much time now has contributed to my gain this week.

Reflections
So my 31st birthday is THIS Friday and THIS is happening this weekend in Troy, Ohio. It’s really all I can think about (other than I wish my ankle would heal so I can exercise again and I think I heal slower on blood thinners for some reason). I cannot wait, I cannot wait, I cannot wait, but I will wait! Stay tuned for my post on Friday about why Mumford and Sons means so much to me. Many have asked and now I will tell!
Reader’s Recap
I’m really excited to have had the opportunity this past week to do some writing outside of this blog. Don’t miss my published article in the premier issue of Fit Columbus, a new fitness and healthy lifestyle magazine now available in Columbus, Ohio. You can read my article here. Also, head on over to This Crazy Life of Mine by my fellow blogger Nanci and read my guest post.
Question of the Week
I’ve been feeling creative (not necessarily good!) with my camera lately. What do you think of weekly posts that are just photographs and maybe a caption? Yay or nay? Should I do that or continue including photos in the Weekly Weigh-In Post? Do you view photograph-only posts on other blogs or breeze by? Tell me your thoughts in the comments!
Until the next mile marker,
I like pictures. Especially dog pictures. HA!
I am so excited for your big birthday weekend Sara. I know you will have a fabulous time!
Aw, thank you so much Elle! I can’t wait. We leave tomorrow. The puppies send puppy kisses too. 😉
I love picture-only posts! I’m a huge fan of photos so I don’t usually skip them. In fact, I might look at them more because you can scan them quicker than reading a long blog post.
And you can never go wrong with animals included! 😉
Hope you have a great birthday!
Thanks for stopping by, Courtney! I love pictures posts myself for the reasons you mentioned. Thank you and have a great weekend.
Love picture posts! Hang in there with the weight loss…you can do this!
Thanks, Judi! I always love a blog comment from you. 😉
