I did not do great, but quite honestly after my weekend in Gettysburg eating and drinking my way through the town... I did not do ANYWHERE near as bad as I thought. Conclusion... with the out gym I would have had to bury my head in the sand of humiliation...
So after that, I am geared up. My fridge is FULL of healthy food. I spent way to much money at the Acme buying veggies, fruits, chicken, 100 cal packs ect... figure it'll save me money in the long run because I REFUSE to eat out for the next week. I will pack snacks from now on.
I am surprised how the gym actually made me feel good this week. I went both times (yes I know only twice but it was my first week, and this week was INSANE) in the afternoon, and when I got home I was energized and ready to make dinner or do some laundry. Usually around 5-6pm I am restless and dragging. Another difference was, since I was moving and motivated, I was actually tired and fell asleep pretty effortlessly at night. When usually I am up all hours of the night bored and sleepless. I am going to try and make it more than twice a week next week, but with my schedule that literally changes day to day, hour to hour I will plan on two days and try and make more.
Since the weather has been getting progressively nicer, walking my dogs during the week has been extra enjoyable. We have been enjoying going out longer and (the dogs, not me) smelling the grass and eating little nuts that fall off the trees. Its so beautiful to see green again. Its also really funny, at least this week to have such warm temperatures and still see massive snow piles...
In any case, I wish I lost a ton a weight at this weigh in at weight watchers, but am SO thrilled I did not gain any weight due to a weekend away.
Challenge this weekend.... Saturday I have two birthday parties. One is for a 1 year old, so I can only imagine the treats that will be available, second is for a 50 year old and I can only dream of the alcohol that will be flowing.
With that said, I feel prepared to make better food and alcohol choices during these events with my goals in sight it should be a breeze.
Kicking off today with a crazy idea, I feel that I may regret. Taking my two dogs down to the city to meet up with Katie and her two young boxers for some city dog park and a hike to the Art Museum. Hoping the dog park wears them out enough to be able to walk respectfully... hoping.
<3 good for you, Kate. If you need and advice/motivation/work out partner, you let me know !
ReplyDeleteThanks. I wish zumba wasn't so freaking expensive or at times that just were useless to my day. I need to make enough money so I can afford classes that are in the afternoons, I roll so much better in the morning/early afternoon. OR just keep mooching my dads gym membership until he gets sick of catering to me.
