June 16-17 fitness results (WARNING: It ain't pretty)

June 18th, 2012 at 01:58 pm

10-min. workout:
June 16 -- Yes! I biked to and from the grocery store. It was 10 minutes each way, so 20 min. total.
June 17 -- sadly, no.
Results so far: 14/17 (13 out of 15 days)

Calorie counting: FAIL on both days. I could go back and try to guesstimate, but I may as well start fresh today.
Results so far: 15/17 (my goal is to track, so even if I go over my target, it counts as a success)

No night snacks:
June 16 -- Another slip-up. We got home late and tipsy from our first date night since SL was born, and decided to order food from our fave pizza place. I had a giant sandwich and some veggie buffalo wings -- more of a huge meal than a snack!
June 17 -- Success, but mainly because I was STUFFED from another big meal and couldn't even contemplate tea, let alone food. I still feel kinda full this morning ...
Results so far: 15/17

So our weigh-in was last night, and I had a bad feeling since the meal we'd had a couple hours ago was still sitting in my stomach like a big guilt-inducing stone. Sure enough, I was up THREE pounds, back up to 142 which seems to be my resting weight when I'm not being good. Sigh. I'm hoping part of that is a bigger-than-usual fluctuation due to the giant meal in my belly. Plus, lots of non-homemade food usually equals higher sodium & thus more water weight. Maybe.

The weekend was a fun, and unusual, whirlwind. I'm slightly devastated to lose ALL my progress of the past month because of two days, but it was ALMOST fun enough to counteract that feeling.

Saturday we did grocery shopping in the morning, spent most of the afternoon at "Haircut Day" (we all go together once a month and hang out with our barber friend). Saturday night we had free tickets to a fancy soiree at the Governor's Mansion (snagged the invite from a wealthy alumna of my college who actually lived in the mansion as a child, before her family gifted the house to the state). It was quite a night!

Sunday was Father's Day so we spent the whole day spoiling NT. I helped AA (who's 2) serve him breakfast in bed to start. Then AS and I cooked up an exotic (for us, since we'd never cooked these dishes before) Persian-themed lunch. We cleaned up and watched the kids while he went to get a new tattoo (among other things he added SL's name and birth date to his arm, so it was fitting for Father's Day). Then I got a carshare and drove him to an Indian restaurant for dinner.

So it was super fun, but really pricy and took an obvious toll on my fitness goals.

    Curses! I think I could gain 10 pounds in a week and yet it takes months to lose 5 these days.

    I feel for ya - I've been losing the same five pounds over and over. The worst part is that your body now has a "taste" for it and if you aren't mindful, suddenly mighty not-so-healthy things positively leap onto the plate.
