Well, I only got 5 minutes in on the bike at 9pm this evening because I was busy, busy, busy today! But at least I got in something, right? Hopefully that little burst of energy won't keep me awake for too long when I go to bed after posting this message.
Anywho, weigh in went better than expected this morning. Considering the crappy lunch I had at the theater on Sunday because we were late getting to the movie and I didn't have time to eat before hand. So I grabbed some fries from Burger King and then ran in to the movie to catch the opening sequence already playing. Couple that with the 300 calories of Junior Caramels and I expected it to sit on me for the next few days and hinder my weight loss. I was expecting to be down only half a pound but instead I was down a pound, so yay! :D

Down 1 pound! :) Bringing me to 158.5 pounds; one more pound and I'll be at the lowest weight I've been at in almost 3 years.
A little disappointed in myself this evening. I ended up going for a nice walk with hubby after the movie this afternoon but I also wanted to get in some time on the bike, which unfortunately didn't happen. Let's hope this doesn't have an affect on tomorrow morning's weigh in since I ate a crappy lunch and 300 of those calories were the Junior Caramels during the movie.
Live and learn I guess; we'll see how it all turns out in the morning. Fingers crossed I remain in the 150's!
So, no official exercise today. We took a nice long stroll around the neighbourhood in the disgustingly humid heat for about an hour or so. I have no idea how far we went and at what speed, so I'm choosing not to count it as exercise. But it was a nice walk though and we finally managed to check out a little farmer's market type store a few blocks over from us, even thought we've been living in this house for over a year now; just pathetic, shows you how much life can get in the way sometimes.
Ah, the weekend is finally here, isn't it great? My husband and I will finally be going to see Batman The Dark Knight this weekend. Long time coming, eh? The hard part has been trying to avoid any spoilers, previews, commercials and reviews of it. We like going after movies have been out for a few weeks and the crowds have died down; too many bad experiences with asshats either sitting in front of, behind or beside us, so we now choose to wait. And now we will finally be rewarded for our patience, I have no doubt it will be an awesome movie.
Of course I'm looking forward to more than just the movie, since we don't go that often because let's face it, going to the theatre has become quite an expensive experience, I like to treat myself to a little snack. My favourite movie candy is and will always be Junior Caramels. I love Junior Mints too but the Caramels just sort of set the tone for me. Yum yum, can't wait!
Anyway, no exercises today, again my calories were low and I did not finish my work on the computer till late. I will be doing lots of walking tomorrow and I'll likely get some time in on the bike as well since I'll have to work off the Junior Caramels.
I hope everyone had a great week and I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! :D
So, no exercise today. I was planning on doing some time on the bike but then decided against it for two reasons this evening. The first is that I am very low already on calories; I lost track of time while trying to fix things on our other computer and forgot to have my mid-morning snack and then had a somewhat smaller lunch because I was too rushed to make my proper lunch. The second reason is; I was still battling with the computer until 8:15 pm this evening. I spent all day on it and I am likely going to have to spend all day fixing it tomorrow as well. Late evening exercises are hard on my body and I find I can't get to sleep for hours afterwards. If I'm going to exercise in the evening, it can't be closer than 3 hours before bed and even that is pushing it.
Not much to report today. I didn't get any exercises in unfortunately but what with all of the stress I encountered all day long with the computer, I'm sure it's burned off a few calories. lol!
I don't want to jinx anything by saying this but I'm going to anyway. I can feel my stomach slowly starting to get better. Does it still hurt like someone's taken a knife to my stomach, yes but not as often as a few days ago. Is it still bloated and hard, yes but it looks like it has gone down a touch. Could this mean things are on the mend and I can start up my regular exercise routines again either next week or the week after that? I sure as heck hope so! :D
This enthusiasm I have to exercise is starting to scare me. lol!
I still haven't been able to get to a doctor, as it takes months to get in by appointment. I don't consider what's going on worth making a stop by the hospital since it's more than a 14 hour wait and I need to be here every 12 hours to give my cat his insulin injections. Hopefully I'll get lucky and my doctor's office will have a walk-in clinic open this weekend but if my stomach keeps showing signs of improvement, maybe I'll get really lucky and won't have to go.
Anyway, my day turned out pretty good. I got some great time in on the bike without my stomach hurting so much this time and my meals were very yummy (and healthy, as they are 95% of the time, since I do allow for treat meals every now and again) today.
Well, I need to make this quick since there is a thunderstorm going through our area. This morning's weigh in went well, in fact better than expected. I was predicting that I would break even and remain at 160.5 again, given how my week went. Since I am still unable to do my regular routines because of my stomach situation and have only been able to do a few minutes on the bike here and there, I was expecting a gain more than anything. Instead I am down a pound and into the 150's! Hopefully I'll still be there by next weigh in.
Unfortunately I don't have much to say tonight. I didn't do anything exciting today and I didn't manage to do any exercises. So... Weigh in tomorrow morning. Here's hoping that goes well.
Well, no joy as far as the walk in clinic was concerned. Guess it will have to wait for another day. No exercise today either, I'm giving my stomach/body a bit of a break. Although I did get some walking in but not enough to count it as exercise, as far as I'm concerned anyway.
I just really hope all that's happened or should I say not happened this week doesn't lead to another gain. It's killing me that I can't/haven't been able to do my regular routines for the past 2 weeks. Add another weight gain come Monday on top of that would be a major blow to my enthusiasm and determination to loosing all of this weight. It's just so depressing to think about. I know it happens but knowing that I was so close to weighing in the 150's and then gaining half a pound on Monday really put a damper on my mood. :(
