OMG, a new thread already?!? Chatty cathies we are!
Went out to dinner tonight for my MIL's birthday, and knew it would be a big meal and I would want to have wine, and so I ate very little during the day (240 cals before dinner) in preparation. I am happy to have stayed within my calorie range as a result.
However, the two glasses of wine definitely made me a little buzzed, and so that made the treadmill interesting tonight.
I had plenty of energy from all the protein at dinner though, and was happily singing along (silently) to my music. I missed the gym so.much.
A happy kind-of-scale victory today: I realized I met a goal that I had forgotten about. A year and a half ago my gift to my sister for her 30th birthday was skydiving for her and a friend (tandem jump). She really wanted me to be the one to go with her, but my weight was too high for us to have gone together (the weight limit was 230 lbs, and my weight meant we would've had to go up in separate planes). I was very sad and ashamed, and my mom went with my sister instead. They had a great time (despite my sister passing out after the parachute opened!
), and my sister said she wanted to go again some time, this time with me. I thought at the time that it would probably never happen, because I'd never manage to lose the weight. I hadn't thought about it in a while, but for some reason it came to mind today and I realized that I could totally go with her now! What a great feeling that is.
Also, while at the doctor's office today (my husband had an appt), I had the receptionist pull my file so that I could look at my weight trend over the past 11 years. My present weight is the lowest I've been in more than 9 years.
OK, enough of my rambling.
Pokey: The classes sound great! I hope you have a lot of fun with them.
(the 6am thing would kill me, lol. I am NOT a morning person!!!)
MadamB: Productive day!! Hope you enjoyed relaxing this evening.
Resolute: YAY!!!
I am so thrilled for you!!! And I'm totally glad you gave your body some of the rest it was craving. I'm thinking you might still whoosh some more the rest of this week - you are going to be at onderland in no time!
And the Reso/Resolute thing was adorable, btw.
Cheshire and peanutt: Way to go on the runs even in the hot weather! You dedication is inspiring... I feel like I would be less motivated to exercise without the temperature-controlled gym, lol.
penguin: Happy Anniversary!! Hope you had a great time tonight.
bnhtla: Definitely not a wimp repeating a week! Not at all! Great job continuing to push through it to the degree that your body can handle - that IS an accomplishment.
pintamino: Hope we see you back soon!
OK, that's as far back as I can see in the post history on the reply page, so that's as far as I'm getting with personals tonight. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!!
Sorry guys, but I can't resist a nice cold beer on one of the only summery days we've had this year!
Can't blame you for partaking on a sunny day, it's been horrible, raining and overcast here for days, hope we get some of your weather.
I'm just trying to ease off a little bit for a while, been lurking around, need to make that orange pork as well, especially with everyone talking about it. In the past i've warned others not to burn themselves out by trying/pushing to hard, was exactly what i was beginning to do.
You sure are strong mentally lately, so glad life is rolling you six's, making me hungry though, your meal sounds delish.
