Well I stepped on the dreaded scale today after not having weighed myself in WEEKS and it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. I weighed in at 206.1. Before surgery I was at 202.7 so I didn't gain too much back! Maybe weigh in day isn't so bad after all! :)
Today Week 19 has kicked off and I am determined to make this a damn good week! This morning before work Lara and I got up and did the entire 3 mile walk video. Let me just tell you that Mary Kay with her Mile 2 was kicking my ass! OMG my thighs are SO sore from all those kick backs! Man...I remember when this video got a little on the easy side for me and I was adding 2 - 3 extra miles on top of it! Now, I am back to the lump on a log puffin like a chain smoker. This too shall pass...I know it!
After a refreshing and painful workout I took a cold shower and then off to work I went! It was pretty awesome to know that by 2pm I had already burned over 1300 calories for the day. My eating has finally gone back to normal too and that felt so great! It is amazing how just changing a couple habits can make such a big difference in how you feel.
Today's Menu:
Breakfast: Cereal w/skim milk (160 calories)
Lunch: Corn Beef Sandwich with 1 slice of Provolone Cheese on yummy healthy bread (390 calories)
1 Serving of Salt & Vinegar Chips (140 calories)
Snack: Yogurt in Cone (185 calories)
Dinner: Panera's Chicken Noodle Soup/Tuna on Honey Wheat combo (320 calories)
Baked Lays (140 calories)
Total: 1335
So far I have burned just under 2400 calories today, did 6640 steps, and 1 hour and 3 minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity! I once again met my 1,000 deficit!
Cristian came home today from school excited about homework. Odd right? I thought so too until I opened his folder and his homework was math! LOL! He LOVES math! It isn't due until Friday but he completed the entire sheet of addition problems as soon as he got home. If only reading and spelling went that smooth! We are meeting with the teacher on Monday to talk about what can be done to help him in the areas he is struggling with so we will see how that goes!
I was so exhausted, lack of sleep will do that to you, and decided to lay down and take a cat nap at about 5:30. I didn't wake up until 7:15 and so needless to say Cristian missed his usual dinner and bedtime so we decided to go eat at Panera's. He completely had me rolling in the car. Out of nowhere he says..."Mimi, my mommy game me up, mommy's mommy gave her up, Gatner's mommy gave him up, but your mommy got stuck with you so you are not in the club with me and mommy." LOL! He loves Disney's Up can you tell? So not only am I not in the club for not being lefty like him and his mom but now no club for me because I wasn't adopted. I am starting to feel left out! LOL! He comes up with the craziest stuff, I swear I could write a book! I just love my child. :)
I have until tomorrow to complete my e-business class for this Master's program and man is it tough. It is so time consuming and time is the one thing I have very little of! All I have left is the web site index and 3 mock up design pages so I am hoping to finish that during lunch tomorrow. Wish me luck because I sure could use it! I don't know what on earth possessed me to want a Master's degree. I outta be given the Master's in Stupidity! Now that would be fitting, ha!
Things at home have finally seemed to calm back down to "normal". Word from the wise - be careful what you say because some things you can never take back. Boy, isn't that the truth! Definitely have made decisions to cut certain people out of my life.
Tomorrow is the first day of BOOT CAMP!!! Lara is probably going to hate me the rest of the day! LOL! But, it will be worth it! We can do it! I want to burn closer to 3,000 calories tomorrow so we shall see what I can make happen. I hope for cooler weather but think it is supposed to climb back up tomorrow. No excuses though..hot or not we are getting out there and bustin butt for 1 hour of military style bootcamp and that Regis is my final answer! :)
Keep Moving,
