Dragging Right Along

Yesterday was a long day. Up early, bed late. I was great on my diet and worked out. My work out was okay. I jogged for 37 min. (added 2 more) which was great. But I was just so tired I was not enjoying it. Leah and I were gonna do some medicine ball pass-offs but her tail bone wouldn't allow her to do a full sit up. Weird. So other than a few measly crunches and an hour on the treadmill, I didn't get to do much strength training, which I really want to get better at. I have to work out late on Wed. Thurs. because of work and I have realized in the last 2 nights that late-night work outs are not for me. I'll have to do them, but only 2 days per week thankfully. They just wont be as satisfying as the other days of the week when I can go for more than just cardio. Oh! And I'm so tired of the gym being out of towels. Don't let me forget to bring my own today.

After getting home from the rec at about 11:45, I was ready for bed and a friend called and asked me to come out because she just got engaged. I arrive at the restaurant and they'd ordered macaroni and cheese, wings, fried pickles... ugh! Everywhere you turn someone is trying to feed you. I resisted, completely. Thank you.

Still in the 140s today (barely-but I'll take it). Working out this afternoon with Leah. She wants to start doing the Making the Cut work outs. I think I'll try circulation today- arms/legs/arms/legs. I like that concept. Thanks Mom.

I want to get down in the 130s so fast but I know I have to be patient. It just seems to be dragging along.

A few more incentives: friends' weddings (2 coming up in the next few months), Valentine's Day, Brian's family get-together for grandpa's 80th. By the way... the goal jeans are becoming more realistic. Still can't zip them, but they do go over my hips now haha. Why does my lower half shrink so well while my upper body protests? I need to work on more arms and abs I think. Size 6, here I come. And yes, I have been taking progress pix in the jeans, too. So not only will we see a before and after, we'll see a during as well. Get excited!
