This is the weekly Weigh In that didn’t happen. We were out late last night and I wound up over sleeping. I spent my morning running around packing my lunch and getting showered and ready as fast as possible, somehow managing to make it in on time. Therefore, no official weigh in for this week. I do know that the scale was at 273.4 yesterday which was down 1.5 pounds from Monday, but still up from last weeks “Official” Weigh In.
Just venting-I feel like our life is so over planned right now and that I am doing a lot of things just ok, but nothing is getting done well. We are just going non-stop all.of.the.time. I need a weekend to recuperate and get the house cleaned (because WOW does it need it!) I’ve been in bed by 10 most nights and getting up at 5:30, so I don’t think I feel so out of whack due to lack of sleep (I need 7-8 hours a night or I am useless.) I’m thinking I just need a break from having to do 100 different things. The good news is, that it looks like we don’t have anything on the calendar the first weekend in April, so I am hoping that weekend will stay open. Granted every other weekend between now and the end of May have things going on, but there is that one spot of freedom lol. All of the things we have planned are fun and enjoyable, it just means no downtime.
I am really enjoying my 30 Day Plan, and it’s going shockingly well (only on day 3!) I think it helps me to have shorter term goals. In Sparkpeople you can input what you want to weigh by a certain deadline and it’ll tell you the calories you need to consume and burn via activity. I changed it from 60 pounds by 12/31/2010 to losing 7 lbs by 3/31/2010. A nice short mini goal. It is a lofty one at that!
Tonight is my RLR Run plus the strength training designed by Sparkpeople. It looks like I will be doing superman (whatever that is lol), calf raises, leg raises and two-part push ups. Sparkpeople gives great demo videos for each of the moves. I am sure between dance class last night and tonight’s RLR and strength training, I should be plenty sore tomorrow!
Tata for now,
Scale Warfare
I can certainly understand feeling overly busy. but it is so impressive that you are able to stay on-track despite having so much to do. i’m going to check out sparkpeople, it sounds like they have some awesome tools!
Keep up the great work, and please don’t worry about not making it onto the scale. You’re doing great and spreading the inspiration. It’s also really good to set mini goals. You can achieve them easier, and it can be very empowering!
Supermans are tough, but so fun, too. I just imagine that I’m a superhero flying through the air while I hold the pose. Dorky, but whatever works, right?
I totally hear you about being over-scheduled. I feel the same way, and I’m not planning a wedding, like you are. Take it one day at a time.
Dude, I totally hear you on being overscheduled. Do you have enough vacation time to take a “mental health day” now and then? I find that is really helpful for me! I take 1/2 of the day to just do “me” stuff (work out, read, blog, etc.) and the other 1/2 to do productive stuff around the house, shopping, etc.
Ha! I actually think I’m going to take 1/2 a day off on Friday. I have a TON of stuff going on this weekend, and I am going to take your advice, and do some “me” stuff during that time. Maybe I’ll got get a pedicure. These winter feet gotta go!
