I wasn’t quite sure how weigh-in was going to turn out. I worked out each day this past week except one, but that happened to be the day I caved and went out for dinner too. It always seems like it takes momentous effort to lose the tiniest morsel of weight, but one screw up can lead to weight gain, which strikes me as just a bit unfair!
I lost 1.8 pounds, down to 193. Why does it feel like I’ve been in the 190’s FOREVER? I will be so happy to dip into the 180’s and stop seeing the 190’s on the scale.
This week poses its own special challenge. My boyfriend and I are not married but have been together so long that we celebrate the anniversary of our first date. This year, on Tuesday in fact, we will be celebrating ten years together. Why can’t special events fall conveniently on a Saturday, my “cheat” day, after my weigh in and workout, of course?
We have to go to the kids’ town that evening for a school event, so we are going to go out to dinner afterward. I decided I would enjoy that dinner, but I have to make up for it, just like I did this past week. I will log my food on MyFitnessPal to make sure I stay within my calorie range the rest of the week, and I will work out each day this week.
The only time on Tuesday I will have for a workout is the morning, which is a struggle for me! I got out my calendar book last night and planned out my workout for each day, to make sure I fit them in. I scheduled myself for a nice, early morning run at the gym Tuesday morning. Now to hold myself to it!
