Tuesday is my favorite day of the week

Tuesday is my favorite day of the week - always has been.  No particular reason either.  Just is.

Today I went to the grocery store - nothing looked good, I had no real plan.  I wandered aimlessly for a while.  I ended up buying a big bunch of romaine, a bag of baby spinach, and some yogurt.  I have like 15 oranges I need to eat so I'm going to make smoothies for a couple days/meals.  The recipe is: 2 oranges, 1 cup spinach, 1 yogurt (any flavor, something that goes well with orange), and ice.  I sometimes use only 1 orange to make it more thick, but I'll be using 2 since I have this random abundance of them.  The problem with the smoothie as a meal is protein - I get hungry a couple hours later.  I should have got some almonds or something for a snack inbetween.  Maybe I'll walk there again tomorrow.

One good thing about this fave day of the week - flight booked!  I am going to Las Vegas from October 13-17.  That is another reason to keep up with this challenge and start working hard.  I went on a plane in April for Easter to Phoenix.  I had to use a lap belt extender for the first time ever.  I was humiliated.  I have never had to do that and I never want to again - just goes to show how out of control this has really become.  I need to regain that.  It is a great goal being a few months away.  I fear getting all into it for a couple weeks, then letting time slip by me.  I always do that.  I did that with the April trip.  I had my flight booked in February, I set a plan to lose so many pounds before then.  I think I exercised 5 times in the 2 months prior to the trip - no F*cking wonder I couldn't fit in the seat.  I'm damn lucky I sat by a tiny blonde on the way out and a 7 year old boy on the way back or it could have been even more embarrassing than it was.

On my flights to and from Las Vegas on Oct 13 & 17, I will not have to use a lap belt extender.  I WILL be able to put the little tray down in front of me to hold my drink and magazine on instead of in my hand uncomfortably.  I might even pass on the little airplane shaped crackers and just eat the peanuts  - I mean, what a waste of calories!  I've got another target, another reason to keep my eyes on the prize.  Sin City, here I come!!!!!
