I guess I run now

I decided to un-wuss yesterday & weighed myself shortly after posting my long diatribe about why I was going to wait til today to weigh myself…blah, blah, blah. & we have movement on the clicker that puts me  about a third of the way towards my first weight goal. So that’s about 2.1 pounds per week that I can pretty much attribute to two things: my metabolism is functioning again & the W8 has me motivated not to skip a day of exercise. Now to make sure I lose 2.1 next week when I get back from MA.

Yesterday I walked only 30 minutes around campus. But I had a ton of errands to run, got only 2.5 hours of sleep the night before, and was pretty beat up from the road trip on Monday, so I think a day off was called for. I’m moving things along early today so I can get to the airport an hour & 1/2 before my flight & walk that gloriously long Northwest terminal.

I’m also probably going to end up with very light posting this week since mom has no internet. We’re a little nervous that the bank isn’t ready to close on the house she’s buying on Friday, but if all goes according to plans, this will be a week of cleaning & unpacking & heavy-lifting. I plan to walk every day as well & since all mom’s kitchen stuff is packed up, it should be easy to resist the temptation of home cooking.

Food today:
Breakfast: same as yesterday, a stop at the market for a coffee & a nectarine
Snack: dried fruit & nut mix
Lunch: unless I find something packable at the market, this will be a late lunch, but I’m hoping mom has salad mixings
Dinner: my nephew wants to take me to his favorite pizza place. Restraint, salad, & one slice.

Water…I’m upping my intake for the day to 5 pints cause of the dry flight & all the temptations along the way.

Plan: I’m going to keep tracking my food/exercise in a journal & post it all here whenever I get within spittin’ distance of WiFi.

Exercise: one-hour walk at the airport…in fact, I think I’ll pack an extra shirt in my carry on in case it’s a sweaty walk.

Happy Day, Happy Week Chicks!
