I think I will keep this visualization in mind next time I feel like slacking off.
Nelie – Welcome back! Glad you had a good trip. 60% incline, that sounds like one heck of a hike.
I didn’t get to the gym on Saturday because my day got off to a bit of a late start and I decided it would be my mission for the day to shop for some new work clothes and vacation clothes and a swimsuit. 6 hours and countless stores later I found a tankini that will do, and on sale at that! I ended up going to a major department store, which I generally avoid because of the prices, but Target, Ross and Old Navy were just not yielding anything that came even close to fitting properly. I ended up getting a size 12 bottom and 16 top.
I will be the first to admit that women's clothing sizes don’t make any sense to me, and it doesn’t help when your size is changing. On my first trip to the dressing room at Old Navy only one of the 6 items I brought in fit, the rest were way too big. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good thing but it’s also a bit maddening. Anyway, lots of money and time spent but now I feel like I can get up and get dressed in the morning without wanting to cry because nothing fits.
I’m feeling like this week is off to a better start, my appetite hasn’t really rebounded from being sick but I guess I’ll just roll with that while it lasts. Yesterday I went back to the gym for the first time in about a week and a half and boy did it feel good. Did some upper body lifting and went to relaxation yoga. I’ll be going for intermediate yoga tonight but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be seeing to much of the gym till after my vacation. Jason is leaving for China on Thursday so I’ll be spending my Tues night with him and on Wed his mother will be here and we’ll take her out for a belated mother’s day dinner. After that I’m the only person around to take care of the dog so it looks like I’ll be doing mostly at home workouts, but I’ve got my stability ball, FitTV and a dog that needs walking so it should be OK.
Scale told me 169.4 this AM! First time I’ve weighed in the 160s since I quit competitive swimming. Of course I am always wary when the scale gives me good news, but I plan on being extra good since I have a vacation coming up in just 2 weeks. I’m so excited!
Hope ya’ll are off to a good start this week.
