Garumph. Today has not gone at all as planned. So, instead of going to GZ, I am going to work out. Since I am going to work out, I thought I would mention how that is all going. To my delight, I weighed in at 142 on Wednesday. Yay! That means I am down 5.5 pounds. I can get into more of my clothes, and people are noticing that I am losing weight and toning up again, which I like. Sadly, I only made it to the gym twice last week…boo. Though, it hasn’t been quite normal around here with my boy gone and getting used to my work schedule. I really want to hit my every other day full gym work out stride. Then I want to get where I am doing some sort of activity on my other days like rollerblading or walking and eventually running…and if we can ever get new bikes, biking. Though that may be a harder sell on G now, since he doesn’t like the way bikers look. He says they are too skinny. I say anything that tones my legs is good. We shall see.
I am happy that I am getting stronger again. I like that I am getting tone back in my arms and back, though it is happening slower than I would like (damn this aging thing!). My arms still seem weak to me. I am staying at the same weights on all my exercises, as I am not at my ideal number of reps yet, though I am working up. I have gone up quite a bit on all my other stuff though.
Eating tanked a little this week….I treated my Goth Prom (more on that another time) date to dinner, and decided to splurge a bit and split a bottle of wine with him, and had some pasta (spinach noodles..yum!). On the bright side, I can usually chow through the pasta at this place, and I wound up with some take away. Thursday was our work picnic, and I had a couple of treats there…finally yesterday Creamer came over and we decided to get KFC. So bad for me, but so tasty. So, I cheated a couple of times and feel like I went a bit overboard, but I am not going to beat myself up too much. I just need to keep eating the good stuff overall, and really focus on working out. Getting my heart in shape and my muscles strong will help me burn all those pesky calories.
All right, enough of the rambling…off to the gym!!
