Heyyyy!
Note to self: Never weigh- in the morning after you spend the previous afternoon walking to do your errands (somewhere around 7-8 miles round trip?), run 3.5 miles, and then eat a salty dinner out. The water retention alone will make you feel oh-so-bad about your progress. Siiiigh. Super high number this morning, and even though I know it's not accurate, it's making me feel sad and discouraged. Blah.
Still trying to get back in the groove... I forced myself to just move, move move yesterday, since I knew I was going out to eat. I refuse to just accept that I'm going to consume 2k+ calories on any given day.... I'll always try to balance it out somehow.
As for my exercise, the weekly long runs are getting longer and longer.. next Sunday I'll have to do 6 miles. Haven't done a lengthy run like that since early spring? We'll see how it goes.
I've got a day off today, and then I'm working all weekend. Hopefully I can avoid pitfalls at work, and then see some good numbers on the scale next week.
Lastly, my water intake has been downright pitiful, which may be part of my problem. Workin' on it as we speak. (Oh, Crystal Light Pure Fitness, how I love thee).
rainbow-- How are you doing with the dinners out? I hear ya, it's rough!
Hope the film festival is fun, though.
Kawaii-- I get terrible "Chub Rub" too. I'm a fan of the stuff they sell for runners that you can apply anywhere and it just takes away the chafe! Congrats for your mini victory over chocolate. Those moments can be so brutal.
Riestrella-- Hope you're enjoying your time with the boy, and that the foot's doing ok.
Krampus-- Ack! Your knee! What happened?! Ice that sucker and take it easy. You don't want to push it when it comes to joints. Hope you are still able to absorb all you can out of the remainder of your time out there.
Miz-- That allergy scenario sounds scary! But, seems like you're enjoying being busy with work and whatnot. Hope it's going well and you're getting into a good routine.
JL-- Ohh I know, it's so hard at the end. I mean... I have legitimately been trying to lose the same 10lb for the last few years of my life. It's crazy what we do to ourselves, mentally and physically! You've got this. Time and persistence will pay off.
munstermommy-- Your workouts sound awesome. Enjoy the games! Let us know how things go with the scale.
Iconised-- I'm weird, I like an old school notebook and pen. Same with my calendar. I guess I'll always be a little weird in that regard. hehehe
Alright. Time to get off my arse. Lots of stuff and exercise to get done today. Hoping to relax in the evening. We shall see!
Chat soon,
