Ouch!

Yesterday, was Seafood Fest here in the Keys, so Cap and I stopped in for an hour to pick up some of our favorite dip mixes, and have some seafood and a beer. Afterwards, we headed off to the grocery store.
To my surprise, they finally have a higi kiosk that worked (I think they replaced it). After three months of poking into the store to weigh-in and finding the dang machine out of order, I finally contacted higi and "let 'em have it". Especially since the repair guy had been out a few times (according to the Pharma clerk) and couldn't manage to repair it. 
And that brings up a pet peeve. Please, please, people. Treat those kiosks with kid gloves. I've seen people sit at them and treat those machines like they're infallible. They aren't. And don't let your kids play on them. 
So, to my disappointment. I discovered I had gained 17 pounds since Hurricane Irma. Crap. I know we didn't have good finances, and had to buy what we could afford at the store, but 17? Ugh!
But, things have changed now - our finances are better, and I'm getting over my depression from the drastic changes of Irma. Time to attack.
I'll be cutting out that red meat again, staying away from the processed crud, soda pop, sweets, etc.
Water, 100% juice, my low-fat Choco Milk (portion-controlled, of course) will be my drinks. Fruits and seafood bites will be my snacks. Summer porridge in the morning (or juice), low-cal tuna sandwich (on my Sandwich Thins) and fruit for lunch, and my meal prepped, portion-controlled dinner from R.S. recipes for dinner. 
I will use my DAL cards for 1800 calories/day, and I just bought a thighmaster knock-off to help with exercise.
I'm on it again.
