so not only will i be drinking this evening but i will be drinking for free… my coworker informed me of an exhibitor reception tonight before the big dinner and being we work for the org. putting on the meeting - we are entitled to partake in the activities… eric is very excited as well and is prepared to bring lots of business cards so he can schmooze… i also prepared ahead and did 20 minutes of cardio ontop of my weights today…
ever have one of those days where you feel thin even if the scale says otherwise? the dress i am wearing today sure makes me feel a lot smaller but maybe because its black… i’m also wearing a scarf as a belt and we all know how when you gain weight, belts are NOT your friend but today - it is being nice to me… i remember two summers ago and this dress was way too tight so its nice to be able to wear it again… thank god!
so it took me 3 days to realize that i reached another weightloss goal… last year, when i became serious about losing weight and working out, one of my goals was to lose 10% of my total body weight… well, as of last saturday’s weigh-in, i made it and damn that makes me feel pretty happy… t took me over a year but i still made it so lets see how long it takes me to get to my next goal of 10 pounds…
i was already feeling pretty gloomy this morning so the last thing i wanted to do was step on the scale… i had overslept and missed my spin class and was in no mood to do anything else… well, i literally started to cry when i read 161 because i’ve had a crappy week - haven’t lifted weights, skipped pilates and only managed two walks… ontop of that, i took my mom out for a mother’s day lunch and had cream of onion soup, asparagus stuffed ravioli AND warm chocolate pudding cake w/ice cream… um HELLO? how is it that i lost weight when i should’ve gained 5 pounds?
for this week anyway… i am thrilled to be off tomorrow and even though the weather sounds crappy, i still won’t have to come HERE and do any WORK… who knows what monday will bring since this huge project will finally be over - i’m sure my boss has another assignment for me and just hasn’t told me… if not, i’ll keep myself busy by reading blogs like usual…
i’m tired of working, i’m tired of what i’m eating and i’m tired of working out… i’m just tired and need a mental health day - good thing i am taking off on friday… ever feel like you’re just going thru the motions and not really enjoying what you’re doing? that’s how i feel for some reason so maybe i’m just burnt out from work… or maybe i need a vacation, who knows…
after a beautiful weekend weather-wise, it decides to get cold AND rain today - WTF? it was SO dark and gloomy this morning - i got up at 6:00 to do my stupid billy banks bootcamp workout… i hated it but managed to last ½ hour so i’m proud of myself but because i stopped early, i was ahead of schedule and at work by 8:15… i’m sure i’ll be ready for bed by 9:00 but need to stay awake since eric will be home tonight, i am very excited to see him!
__(’Read the rest of this entry »’)scale showed a 1.6 pound drop this week so i’m happy, but i know i could do better in the cardio dept. and know that is my weakness… i keep saying i’m going to try one of my new DVDs but haven’t so this week my goal is to try at least one of them… i have no excuse, i just need to do it!
and this stupid week will be over… i’m happy not only because tomorrow is friday but because eric will be home this weekend… i haven’t talked to him in a few days, since he’s out in the ocean somewhere, hopefully making his way north… i’ve felt like i was single again since there were no daily IM sessions or nightly phonecalls - glad that’s not the case! i sure do miss him…
i got here this morning and was greeted by an email re: my boss being in a car accident on her way to work… since she was home and recouperating on pain medication - i had to step up to the plate and finish a few projects for her… everything was taken care of and completed in time AND i still made it to the gym for my workout… she sounds really sore so who knows if she’ll be in tomorrow…
