Bad girl.....I've neglected you

Oops....alright already starting to neglect my promise to myself to blog every day, or about everyday. So now as my punishment I am going to have to try to remember what I've done the last two days (since the 10th has just now started)

Now lets see, the 8th was Friday.... Ah yes Friday was a decent day. A tad bit busy at work but not too bad. I remembered to bring my little tasty rice cake/peanut butter treat to work and eat on my break. I had been having a killer time trying to get my calories in because I usually consumed about 100 or less by drinking coffee up until my lunch time at about 11am. Well that only left me between 9 and 10 hours to get in another 1200-1300 calories (may seem easy but trust me it's not) I also made myself smile by working out on my lunch. My only frustration with the lunch work out is that I don't quite have enough time to really get going. In my 20 minutes I get just started into that zone where the endorphins are beginning to kick in and the work out is feeling good and energized. I have to stop at 20 min so that I have time to change my shirt ( no gross girl going back to her desk eww) and then make and eat my lunch. Even though I don't get to go all out I do feel much better and energized for the 2nd half of the day and that has been a blessing.

Friday night my partner in weight loss crime joined me for fun times and conversation. We also got to see our two little bugs hang out for a while. It's so crazy what a difference 10 months makes in size and stages of development. We definitely both have big and smart little buggers ;) Too much fun.

Saturday the 9th....well Saturday is always rough for me. I somewhat dread work because it is usually crazy busy because it hasn't been staffed properly (not blaming, just stating fact). It is also my Friday and boy am I ready for a weekend by then. I kept my peanut butter goodness at my desk so I had my little snack-um available :) I also was working to drink enough water to drown a fish, I have been sOOOOOO thirsty since I started getting back on the Aqua Train. It's nice to be able to recognize thirst vs. hunger again. Lunchtime rolled around and I was dying to go out and get something terrible but I resisted and took myself back to the gym. Hello treadmill. Ugh OK, irritation number two and really it's piddly and lame but it is irritating to me; from the treadmill I cannot actually see the TV that's in the gym. I could see it from the elliptical or from the bike, but not the actual treadmill. Now yes I could just do one of the other work outs but the elliptical gets me super sweaty and well folks I have to join the masses again after work and no time for a shower. The bike just doesn't quite feel like I'm doing as much and the bike in the gym is set at a really really odd angle and is quite uncomfortable. Oh well I guess I will just settle for listening to the TV and staring in the mirror watching myself walk, reminding myself to stand up straight and suck in that gut.

Saturday night I splurged and had a real Italian fest--a loaf of freshly baked bread (well most of the loaf) Hard Salami and a nice large glass of wine! Sooooo Tasty. At the time I was thinking OK this is my splurge evening and even if I go over my points I will deal with it. I need a splurge time or I will fail. So to my handy dandy sparkpeople.com I went and entered in all that I ate (both servings of Italian fun) and I was still under my max calories for the day! I was stoked. Now I was 400 more than I had been eating since I've been staying at the lower end of the scale but I still didn't eat two days worth of food or anything.

Now to figure out what I will do on the weekends to keep up the streak. I'm not working out hard enough during the week to be a total sloth on the weekend :)

I can't wait until I have enough wiggle room to be able to join the Kroc and get my workout on :)
