Paybacks are a b#$%h
Today’s weight: 233 (+4.5 from yesterday)
Yep, you read it right. Up 4.5 pounds. Before you go thinking I ate a small piece of livestock I know the majority of it is water weight that attached itself to the salt lick I ingested w/my snack mix. I’m drinking my green tea and just ate some watermelon, but I also just ate Doritos and peanuts so I think they cancel each other out. We have another party tonight and I’m not going to be in control of my food so I’m flirting w/the “throw in the towel” syndrome. Just flirting, I haven’t committed to anything more. Gee, maybe I should treat this like it’s a dating situation. When I was single and was afraid that I would want to go further than I knew I should I would sometimes purposefully wear ugly underwear or not shave my legs as a deterrent. Now I just need to figure out the equivalent in a food situation.
My workout today ended up being “only” cutting the grass, but considering that it was 80 degrees by 8:30 and the heat indexes were already into the mid-90s I think it counts. I wore a tank top over a sports bra and the tank top was even sweaty where the bra was. Hard to believe that almost exactly 6 months ago school was cancelled b/c it was too cold. The air temperature was -45. I’ll take the heat over the extreme cold any day of the week.
I also probably needed to dial back my workout a bit b/c sleep was horrible last night. Kyle was up a couple of times but Justin had an upset stomach and between the two of them I was honestly up 2-3 times an hour until about 2:30. I was able to sleep until a little after 6:00 but I’m whupped. And I have to drive an hour to my parents’ house and back tonight so I didn’t want to get over tired.
But holy crap, I am definitely going to add running back into my routine. I saw my sister and she looks awesome! It doesn’t hurt that she’s about 5′9″, tan w/long blonde hair and I would estimate that now she’s a size 8. Granted, she’s unemployed w/o kids and has a hubby who makes a ton of money but she could take that same amount of free time and eat out of boredom instead of killing herself on the treadmill. Maybe I’ll seat myself next to her tonight to remind me of what I will look like in the future.
Time to see what a few of you are doing and then I need to head out for the party 
Progress toward workout goal: 42/300
omg, glad I am not the only one that had to leave the legs unshaven to remain a lady. teehee
I am on your watermelon kick, too. It’s so good. Be good tonight. You know you wanna.
I signed up to start my blog thanks to you! I randomly found this sight and read a few blogs the other day. Today I came on and randomly picked yours out of the list. I read and read and then started reading from the beginning. You sound so much like me and it’s nice to know I’m not alone. If you ever need a pick me up or to vent - let me know. You’ve made great progress. It’s been a slow and steady journey…steady being so important. And just because no one posts doesn’t mean they aren’t reading! Congrats and keep going!
