It's been a bit...30.33 total miles

Okay, I've been slacking on the blog. I went to the mall yesterday and walked 1.35 miles (three laps around). On my way, I weighed in on the GNC scale which told me I'm at 289.3 lbs - about as bad as I've ever been. So, although my walk caused me to break the 30 mile point, I'm bummed (though not really surprised) that I haven't lost anything. In fact, I've gained. So ... what's the problem? FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I need to get back in the diet groove, and so far, I haven't done it. Tonight I made a killer meal - Roast duck (first time ever), gravy, garlic mashed potatoes (which I forgot all about until after dinner - they were sitting in the microwave), salad with mixed greens, tomato and mozzerella with an oil and balsamic vinager dressing I made. I also had steamed broccoli. Overall, I made too much food, and it was all fabulous - a dangerous mix. So I cleaned the duck and saved the meat for soup and the carcass is a-cooking as we speak in my crock pot. I'm going to use up my frozen homemade lasagna this weekend, and on Monday, we start. It'll be a little hard because I can't really grocery shop until Tuesday or Wednesday, but I've got enough couscous and hominy to get me started. I am going to weigh in again two weeks from Monday to see where we are.
