Monday was a Monday. Blah. My alarm didn’t go off (meaning user error; I set it but didn’t turn it on) so, needless to say, I was late getting to work and arrived with less-than-clean hair. Grrr. That’s okay though, because I worked, walked 4 miles during lunch (4 mph; incline between 2 and 0; burned 290 calories), worked, then after work walked .25 miles (4 mph; incline 0), ran .75 miles (6.3 mph – 7.3 mph; incline 0), then walked another .25 miles taking me to 5.5 miles for the day. Then I did this chest, triceps, shoulders workout:
The afternoon workout burned 341 calories, taking my total calories burned to 631 calories. Not too shabby! I left the gym and went STRAIGHT to the grocery store as my lazy bum never went yesterday. I got a few items for this week’s meal plans and two 12-packs (diet pepsi for me; diet mountain dew for Austin). I got home, had pesto...
and realized… dun dun dun.. I left the 12-packs in the cart – DANG! There goes $10. Although my mom was like whatevs, go up to Kroger and tell them you left them there. So I may try that after the gym today. Have you ever left items paid for at the store? Grrr.
Anywho, after dinner I got my gym clothes/lunchbox together, showered (finally washed that nappy hair), and got in bed with enough time to watch Gossip Girl and part of Castle (passed out!). Not too bad! Only kind of blah thing – my weight was at 119.5. BLAH. And today it was at 120 – DOUBLE blah. I’ve got to get this under control. I really feel best in my clothes at 115. 110 was too low (didn’t fill out my pants; skirts hung; blah), but at 120 I feel a little bloated if you will?? I dunno. I’m going to be diligent this month about wearing my HRM and really seeing what’s going on with calories in/calories out and if/when it affects my weight. I’d love to figure this out – quickly! (i.e. before Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas come rolling around with their yummy treats, gravy-laden mashed potatoes and cheesy casseroles!). This chart makes me nervous….
Do you see where it’s heading??! Help Me! So there’s my weight-related rant of the month. I ended the day at 1,804 calories, 230 carbs, 51 fat grams and 103 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
This may be a broad, slightly ridiculous, very each-to-their-own question (yes, I’m a hedger) but what do you do when you find your weight higher than desired? Any help would be mucho appreciated!
I'm off to bed - will post today's dealio tomorrow - kinda slow day though!!
