Ever Choose Chips Over Lunch?

Me too. Empty bag of Cheetos just got discarded. Hopefully I'm able to avoid the hungries long enough to have a sensible dinner. WhatWasIThinking.com?

Moving in the right direction again

Down a pound and a half this week. It's amazing how well I do when Mr. Shrinking T is not home to tempt me with non-diet foods. I worked out like crazy this week and I think that also contributed mightily to my success.

In other great news, my pants are starting to get loose. This is the first I'm seeing of results to my body and is definitely motivating me to keep going. While I don't think JC is a long term tool for me, it has definitely jumpstarted my progress.

Goals for this week:
1) 2 days weight lifting
2) 3 days cardio
3) try one new video (candlelight yoga anyone?)
4) try one new recipe

Stupid Female Parts

No up or down this week. I think that might be progress since it's usually a gain but still. . . . My stupid female parts make everything difficult. If it isn't the swelling, it's the doctors' recommendation to not exercise. I hate feeling like a slug.

Anyway, I'm finally starting to feel like a human being again. I jogged a little yesterday and that definitely helped. Tonight I will do some weight lifting and be really sore tomorrow. Slugs are hereby banished!

New Fitness Goal Achieved

I jogged a full lap . . . that's a quarter of a mile. I did it 4 times last night on my treadmill very slowly. But I did it. I haven't done that since I played soccer regularly some 20 years ago. Mr. Shrinking T has been bugging me to just "jog a lap then walk a lap" forever and I've never been able to do it. Thank God for VS for playing "The Replacements" and for the brilliance of Albuterol. I got off the treadmill last night with the confidence that I might be able to jog a 5k at some point. Amazing. I was starving after but it was well worth it.
