Back from Vegas, back to work

I had an amazing time in Vegas. Lots of walking, and definitely more eating than I would have liked normally. My stomach was very happy to get back to my normal foods. Souvenir-wise I came back with a lot of chocolate (some from 4 different places: Ethel M, Ghirardelli, Sugar Factory, and M-n-M's World) and some Hello Kitty/Sanrio stuff. I haven't felt any desire to binge on all the chocolate, so I'm just picking at it, factoring it into my days.

A couple random Vegas photos:

First we have one of a lion in the MGM Grand chewing on a toy with the trainers/caretakers in the background.

And then we have a jelly bean Statue of Liberty at a candy stand in the New York, New York Casino/Hotel.

I didn't weigh in at WW the weekend before the trip, somewhat due to running behind with getting stuff done, and somewhat just out of avoidance. I know I'm not eating the way I want to (Vegas trip aside) and it makes me reluctant to go to weigh ins. I keep trying to tell myself that it is all wrapped up in not being able to track and plan my food online/the way I want to, but I know that it really is that I seem to no longer be motivated when it comes to changing my eating habits. I know that I'm capable of tracking my food in a paper planner or in an excel worksheet.

According to my scale at home I am back to my pre-Vegas weight which makes me happy. I am planning to try weighing in at a 5pm meeting tonight so I won't post that weight as it will be essentially a starting weight for weighing in in the evening, I won't know the actual change in weight until at least a week from now.
I am trying out this switch in my weigh ins because the weekends are getting more and more hectic, and it isn't as easy for me to get to my regular Saturday morning weigh ins as I would like it to be (having a lot to do with coordinating with my parents so that I can leave when I want to). Also, I've been really tired the last month or so and needing to get extra sleep on the weekends to help keep healthy. I'm trying to get myself to bed earlier during the week, but it is really hard since I need so much sleep to get it all during the week and still have enough time to get things done in the mornings and evenings.


I may purchase the food guide at WW tonight. Since I do not go online very often I am wondering if having the book of all the foods and their values will help me be better about tracking/planning as it will make it a bit easier when at home to look up food values. I've been paying for eTools for the last few months and I really should cancel it if I'm not going to use it, but I keep hoping I'll be able to use it more and the way I'd like to but it just doesn't happen. I'll hold off until I see how things go with having and using the book for the next few weeks and then make a decision before my next payment goes through.

I've cut back on the number of blogs I'm following as I haven't been able to keep up with a good number of them, and I would like to get back to commenting more frequently on people's blogs. 

Getting Healthy Goals for March:
 - Work on getting back to planning food/meals and tracking
 - Exercise once a week for the month (ie. once during the weekend, as I'm not sure how to fit in exercise during the week while still getting enough sleep)
