I was very nervous about weigh-in this past Saturday. I stepped up the intensity of my workouts this week, but my eating left a ton of room for improvement. I worked out hard Friday evening, hit the gym Saturday morning, then went home for the fateful moment of truth with the scale.
I lost 2 pounds! I was going to be happy with a tiny loss, as long as it wasn’t a gain, but this was even better. It left me wondering how much I would have lost if I’d have kept my eating in check, but hey, lesson learned. I’m thrilled I had a loss, and I will work on my eating habits this week.
The constant rain eased up a bit over the weekend for me to get some yard work done, but high humidity and temperatures in the 90’s made it grueling and not terribly pleasant. I didn’t get done everything I had planned, but I finally just yanked off my gardening gloves and went inside for some much-needed water and a very needed shower!
I can’t wait for cooler weather. I’ve never liked summer. Fall is my favorite season, cool but not uncomfortably cold. Give me sweatshirt weather, jeans, snuggling under a blanket on the couch with a nice fire crackling in the fireplace.
For now, though, it’s blazing hot, disgustingly humid, sweat-as-soon-as-you-step-outside weather. Yuck!
