Weigh In and – finally – Run 02/18/08

February18

I TOTALLY slacked off last week after my last update. I didn’t work out AT ALL on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. blush

Well, on Friday I walked a lot – we went to The Wildlife Experience, and then stopped at the Chapel Hills Mall on the way home for about an hour. But other than that, nada. Zip. In fact, I mostly sat on my swiss ball and worked at the computer this weekend. And slept. I took a nap on Saturday and Sunday.

Add to that the purchase of 3 boxes of Girl Scout cookies (mmm, caramel delites – thanks Madison!), Kaitlynn’s birthday party, take out Chinese (sesame chicken) and banana cream pie with the Scott clan in Aurora, then Mr Biggs for a bowling game with the Scott clan (they still have their pizza buffet)… whistling

I actually have been keeping a rough log of my food intake – although I’m sure I will forget an item or two since I am recording it sometimes 2 days later.

Today, after a pancake/bacon/egg (boiled for me) breakfast with Greg and Joshua, I took the boys to my parents with their Wendy’s lunch, ate a couple of girl scout cookies at their house.

Then I forced myself to go on a fast 4 mile run. I was able to run 5k in 32:41 – so I’m going to try and get under 32:00 for the St Pat’s 5k.

I came home, worked some more, showered, ate lunch (and 2 more GS cookies unsure ) and worked until the boys came home.

I horsed around with the boys for a while, mostly laying on my back with them riding on my shins (good ab workout) and they wanted me to pick them both up, and I said I couldn’t. So we all headed to the scale. I forgot to weigh myself this morning… Zander weighs 43.6, Zevan weights 32.2, and I weigh… 135.2 ?! Down 1.4 from last week

I weighed myself twice to be sure. And I have noticed that I weigh less in the afternoon than I do first thing in the morning. Why is that?

Week 4
Starting weight: 137.8
Last week’s weight: 136.6
Current weight: 135.2
Goal Weight: 125.0

So, I’m cautiously happy about it. wink2
