redwinelover's Journal, 28 August 2010

Busy couple of days there...I even forgot to record a journal entry for yesterday. So I DID workout - the Insanity Core Cardio and Balance workout for Recovery Week. It was Day 29. So...I'm a bit hungover...but am hoping the headache lifts and i do Day 30 today. We had a small little celebration last night - some of my son's friends came over and I ended up hanging out with them til about midnight. And hadn't made any dinner, so I ended up mindlessly drinking an entire bottle of wine. Between my weight loss and no food in my stomach...NOT a good idea. But just for "fun", I jumped on the scale this morning. BECAUSE...I did the Klannoye diet last night - imbibe a bit TOO much, then get rid of it all. On accident, if my meaning is clear... NOT FUN... But anyway, turns out I "lost" three pounds last night! LOL... Which, I know, is just being dehydrated, but it was nice to see a low number on that scale like that. So although I'm NOT going to record it (even though my water percentage was 53%, but probably not accurate as you're supposed to be up for a couple of hours before measuring water and fat percentages) my scale said.....drum roll please....132! So, I just may not get on the scale for a few days in the hopes the klannoye diet kicked my metabolism into gear. Which would mean, by the way, that I'd have to COMPLETELY re-think my whole weight loss strategy! LOL... Okay, I AM kidding. Don't want to end up skinny, but an alcoholic! ahahahaha... Yesterday I didn't record calories, I could probably figure it out, but don't know how accurate it might be considering how the evening ended! So I didn't record any exercise, either, but yesterday I burned 2644 calories. I'm sure I didn't take in that much and certainly didn't keep that much in. Probably less than 1300 calories, tho.

Plans for today...well, work out if my head finds my body. And maybe finally go to the Wildflower Baking Company for late lunch or early dinner. I loved that place when I'd gone in Sedona, and I had one of the best salads I've ever had - all fresh greens and some sunflower seeds and some lavendar flowers in it, and some delicious but light dressing. It was awesome and I found out there's one just a couple of miles from my home! So that's probably the "big" plans for the day. My brother is coming out next weekend and we'll celebrate then. For now...I'll bask in the glory of the 132 - fake number or not! :)

Ugh...guess I need to update my bio now that I'm another year older. Damn this time march! Beats the alternative, though and at least I'm getting more healthy as time goes by.

...later... well I did actually work out, in spite of the ongoing headache. But haven't done much else today. We had one really strong storm earlier which probably caused some damage somewhere near by. My daughter barely missed being hit by a falling tree limb in the road driving home! My husband was watching the storm from the front door and watched as a limb broke off the tree across the street from us, too. And there were a number of sirens during and right after this...I wouldn't have wanted to be on the road for that one.

So we didn't go out to celebrate my birthday today. Just want to be able to enjoy the food and today wasn't the day for it. We're planning on going tomorrow, though, and both kids want to go, as well. That will be nice...haven't been out together in a long time.
