I shouldnt have...
but I did. I stepped on the scale this morning because I feel like Ive been doing ever so slightly better but since Im not writing down every calorie I was very curios to see if I was doing ok or if I was still way off. My WI in isnt until tomorrow and I am a firm believer in just weighing once a week. I really wanted to know if I need to do more. Well the scale was back down!!! Thank God! Now I ended up taking the night off from jogging last night, which Im supposed to twice a week but I hadnt had that planned for last night. Anyway, Im not sure if maybe thats the reason, you know like maybe the day after a run I might hold onto water or something. Who knows, i'll find out tomorrow I suppose after running tonight. Still if felt great to get on the scale and see the 2.5lbs from last week gone (although I never recorded them because I refused to believe they were here to stay.) I know I cant get the rest that Ive gained back off by tomorrow but if my weight stays where it was this morning, it makes getting back to 164 seems very reasonable this month.
I get to babysit my niece and nephew today! Just for an hour or two but I dont see them as much as Id like and so Im really looking forward to it. When my sister was having her kids I was always around them. She is 10 years older than me and her oldest is 9 yrs younger than me. There were times when they were living in my parents home with me and when they weren't I was constantly babysitting for them, especially during my teenage years. So they are almost more of siblings to me than nephews and neices (she has 3 boys and 1 girl) However by the time my brother had kids (we are only 1 1/2 years apart) we were both married and living about 45 minutes apart. So Im definately excited when I get a chance to spend time with them. I'll get home a little later than usual which will make running a little harder but Im determined to go out and do it!
