I stepped on the scale again today and seriously, I think my scale is broken, only down another half-pound.
Week 3: July 28, 2013 – 198 pounds
Week 2: July 28, 2013 – 198.5 pounds
Week 1: July 14, 2013 – 199 pounds
Of course as I write that I reflect on some of the less-than-clean eating choices I made this week – especially the night we went out for Cajun food because I had visitors from out of town – possibly we didn’t need to share the bread pudding AND pecan pie. When it comes to eating healthy, and you want to splurge, it always seems fine at the time. It’s not like I think I should be denying myself everything, but maybe saying no to baked goods more often would be a start.
However, I am feeling a lot better now that I am back to regularly working out. I swam, ran or practiced yoga every day this week and on two days I did at least two of those. I also kicked my butt back to the gym to do some lifting AND booked another couple of sessions with a personal trainer, because where I let myself slack off, she won’t.
Also, I have an observation.
Running moms are impressive I have gained a new respect. Today I passed a woman pushing two toddlers in one of those urban-assault-running stroller things and she made it look like it was no big thing. When my friend was here I read the instructions on her stroller, you can’t lean on them –that woman was pushing at least 50 pounds on wheels while she ran. Kick ass.
