I did something REALLY BAD this morning. I got up early as usual, changed into my workout clothes and headed downstairs for toast and a glass of orange juice. I peeked outside and saw it was raining really hard, with a strong wind to boot. I sat there for awhile, pondering whether or not I would go out in that mess. My daughter was up coughing part of the night, so I did not sleep well. On top of that I had a splitting headache. SO... I changed back into my jammies and crawled back into bed. I know I shouldn't, but I feel like a failure today. I tell myself I can throw in a walk after supper, but I know that isn't going to happen. Hubby is on night shift, and I will be swamped with work when I get home. I'll be lucky to get to bed before 9:00 pm.
Anyhoo, the scale is down to 170, so I've lost 4.4lbs since returning from vacation. Pretty decent, although the scale read 168 on the weekend - before the MSG overload. Onward and downward, I suppose...
My head still hurts, despite the 2 Tylenol I took before returning to bed. Now I sit here at work and pray I'm not coming down with DD's cold.
Sorry for the blasé post this morning. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
Angel

Don't worry!
Rainy days get to the best of us. The fact of the matter is that as long as you don't let this one day start a bad trend, it's not going to hurt you. And it might have been better for you to get some sleep, if you think you're coming down with a cold.
Try and have a great day, and don't worry about it to much!

It's the rain!!
A rainy day always makes us feel sort of blah. :-) I am glad to hear the scale is moving in the right direction. Don't feel bad about not having the walk, sometimes our body needs the rest. As for the coughing, rub some Vicks on the bottom of her feet and put socks on her tonight. I promise there will be no cough to keep you up!
Angel, let's think about this for a minute, now. I think it's okay to skip your workout when there's a mini-hurricane going on outside! Nobody will look down on you--we understand!
I love that you added the accent on the e of blase. You're great.
I know you feel bad about missing the work out, but goodness, what choice did you have?? Rainy weather and a cough going around the house. I don't want you to get sick! Tomorrow's another day.
Maybe you can do some random exercising. Sit-ups in the office. If not, oh well. And we're all up since before you went on vacation, all of us. So you're not alone. VegasGirl had a birthday splurge, I had many-many birthday splurges, JennyInLondon is shocked at 162LBs. You aren't alone here.

It would be wrong if you DIDN'T do that!
Thats exactly what I would have done, too! Don't beat yourself up over it. I hope you aren't getting sick! And I hope tomorrow is a better day. How did you do that accent, anyway? I don't have one of those on my keyboard...
I don't know that even in my most fit days that I'd want to get out and exercise in the rain. It's ok. So you miss today. I know you feel bad about it, but you need to take care of yourself.
Good morning!
