I couldn't stand it any longer. I had to get off the couch and do something. I KNOW the dr said not to do anything strenous for at least 2 weeks but I can't stand being inactive any longer. It's driving me nuts. I had to get out, so I did.

I AM DOWN ANOTHER 1.1 lbs! WOOOHOOOO!
That makes me feel better about the weekend. Saturday I had McDonald's for breakfast--a sausage McGriddle (OMNOMNOM ) and a hash brown with a medium soda. Lunch was fairly normal--tuna sandwich with chips and water. Dinner we went out to a new resteraunt here in town called MooYah Burgers which HOLY COWPATTIES BATMAN! Their hamburgers are SO good. I did myself a favor and only got the junior burger (which is a single patty) with no cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and MooYah sauce (which is kind of like McDonald's Big Mac special sauce). I also had a small fry and another soda so I worried it was going to cause me to either gain weight or at least stay the same as I was last week.
But I'm down! The Wii sounds so..unhappy..when it chirps "You're overweight!" now. It used to sound so PERKY when it would chirp "That's obese!" at me.

It's so freaking cold out and I"m exhausted. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm probably not going to exercise again today. I just don't have the energy for some reason and now our heater is broken. So the house is cold and all I want to do is curl up under a blanket and go back to sleep or watch TV or something. DH is going to call the repair guy as soon as he gets back from taking his 9-1-1 operator test this morning.

I haven't logged my food intake for awhile. And last week DS was on Spring Break so I didn't really watch my portion sizes the way I needed to or exercise like I'm supposed to. We went to the zoo on Friday and I had Burger King for lunch. Granted..it was a kid's meal (chix nugs, fries and a large Dr. Pepper) but it was still fast food. Saturday we went to dinner at Golden Corral and I ate until I felt like I was going to throw up. So I expected to find out today that I'd gained a little weight when I got on my Wii Fit.
Nope. I've lost weight..0.2 lbs. It would probably be closer to a half pound or more, but it's that time of month and I'm retaining water like a darned camel.

So last night I went to WalMart to buy some new yoga pants to work out in. My old ones are suffering from the same thing my pants ALWAYS suffer from: the inside of the thighs gets rubbed threadbare because my thighs are so fat they rub together.
So anyway...my hand automatically went for the size 16/18 pants I've worn forever and I went to the dressing room so I could see what I looked like in them.
They didn't fit!
I had to go get a size 12/14!!!

I know I"m not supposed to weigh myself every day but I did yesterday and I had mysteriously gained 3.5 lbs. Where did THAT come from?

I weighed myself again today and the 3.5 lbs has gone away again, taking another 0.02 lbs with it.

I really don't feel like working out today. I'm kind of depressed because when I stepped on the Wii Fit board yesterday, it told me I gained 2.2 lbs. It's probably from all the Dr. Peppers I drank last week, which was more than normal for me. I had a 32 oz Dr. Pepper almost every day last week when I went to pick DS up from school.

Stupid caffiene addiction. I really got addicted when I worked for Sonic and I've never been able to fully kick the habit.

*ETA--I did end up exercising today. Didn't want to. But I did anyway. Still feel like crap, though. I started to do a yoga routine and went to move into half moon when I said, "Oh hell. *bleep* this." and decided not to do it after all.

Holy moly..I do NOT know what I caught over the weekend but I feel like I've been beat up something fierce. It feels like there is a hot wedge of clay shoved between my eyeballs, my throat hurts and my nose is running. I also feel slightly nauseated.
I don't know if I"ll work out today or not seeing as I feel so ick. I should..I barely did anything on Friday and didn't work out at all over the weekend. Had a BIG weekend..ate at McDonald's on Saturday for breakfast (Sausage mcGriddle and a hashbrown plus diet Dr. Pepper) and went to the inlaws for dinner (Hamburger and a hot dog plus chips and 3 Diet. Dr. Peppers). Ate normally Sunday, trying to make up for Saturday. Urgh. Somebody shoot me now and get it over with?

*edited to add--I didn't want to work out today because I felt sick but I made myself anyway and I know I'm better off for it. I didn't gain any weight nor lose any..I"m exactly where I was last week when I weighed myself. In fact, the Wii Fit chastised me because I didn't loose quite enough weight. My predicted BMI (had I lost what I was supposed to) was 27.66 I think. When I did the Body Test Today, my BMI was 26.71. So close, but not close enough. I set a new goal..2 lbs lost in 2 wks just like always. I've got to keep plugging along..got to keep working and I'll get there eventually. I have noticed my butt looks a bit smaller..not much..but a bit. And my stomach looks flatter and my pooch looks a wee bit smaller. So yay for changes. I LOVE the way my legs look from the knee down. My calves are finally starting to look really toned. WOOHOO!
