The scale readout this morning was 230.4, which means I’ve lost 6.4 lbs overall so far. Considering that it’s been a little over 3 weeks, that’s not a whole lot, but it’s better than nothing. Now, I have more motivation than ever to really kick things into gear, because we just found out that we are going to be going to the beach house on vacation with the in laws this year. I’m super excited, but stressed about the weight issue…I mean, a week of living primarily in a bathing suit, hello?!?
In other news, I’m finally getting over some yucky bit of something that’s been going around. I spent the weekend in bed and lying on the couch with loads of head congestion, a major headache, and a very sore throat. This meant no gym time for me, which makes me sad. I find myself looking forward to my sweat sessions more and more, and I am generally in a much better mood afterwards. Now that I’m well enough to rejoin the world, I’ll definitely be hitting the treadmill tonight.
The vacation is 5 months away, to the day. I’m hopeful that I can drop the remaining 75 or so lbs by then. We’ll see how that all works out. I’d need to spend much more time in the gym, and cut back on “cheat nights.” I think I can do it.
On that note, I went to the gym tonight, and sort of on accident spent 50 minutes on the treadmill. I did 3.35 miles, and according to the calorie counter on the treadmill, burned 540 calories! Go me! The accidental part was that I was waiting for the hubby and kids to join me, since my stud muffin was cooking dinner and had to wait till the fish was done to come up there, so I started without him. I just kind of hit a groove, and kept on going. It was nice, especially since I had not been since Wednesday and had really missed the gym. It's nice to be among the living, and not curled up in bed or on the couch.
