This weekend was a success and a failure...

Saturday morning I woke up to knocking on my door and discovered my nephews, sister, and brother-in-law on my front porch. Surprise visits are amazing, hectic, exhilarating, stressful, etc. I wouldn't have changed it for the world, seeing them was pretty awesome!

Not so awesome for working out and/or dieting.... I didn't work out once from Friday (rest day) until Monday (recovery day). Last night I got off work a little early (technically I took work home), walked into my house and went straight to bed and slept right through the night.

Today? I'm feeling amazing, and somewhat proud. Despite not exercising all weekend and eating out at restaurants/fast food joints (junk food, ick!), I only gained .4 pounds. I knew I was watching more of what went into my mouth all weekend (I was somewhat mentally counting calories), and I'm happy overall that I didn't go crazy at the first hint of freedom. :) Granted, had I just stayed strong with my plans I would have probably lost another pound or so (instead of backtracking a bit), but life happens. :)

I think I'm going to get my nose pierced today, :)

I've been taking a peek at the "Can you stay for dinner" blog every time I need some inspiration or an extra little push.

Last night I didn't workout at the gym (although I did workout for 30 minutes via video in the morning); my ankle is bruising a little (and getting some swelling to boot), so I wanted to rest it up a bit last night and today. I think Saturday I'll do the video in the morning and pool exercises (just give it an extra day to hopefully build back up it's strength). For those of you who don't know, I had an ankle injury at the beginning of February which sidelined me for 3+ months which I went to Physical Therapy for.

Anyways, heading into the weekend I'm a little bit nervous because I have a sister visiting from Colorado which means I'll be surrounded by temptation and definite peer pressure (both in food, laziness, and alcohol). I'm actually not too worried, because I do think that my resolve is pretty strong still (I'm pretty stubborn once my mind is set), but I'm nervous of a "weak moment" that will undo 90% of my work this week. I mean, seriously, one bratwurst is like 300+ calories (not including all the sides that go on it).

Anyways, good luck to everyone and hopefully your weekend is motivation in itself! :)

For my reference later (and yours if you need encouragement when I finally start losing some centimeters), I've included the measurements I took Wednesday. :)

Week 1:
bust: 112
belly button: 132
hips: 139
upper arms: 46
upper legs: 75
shin: 44

So, I just got somewhat discouraged.

After I really thought about it I was like: wow! I lost a lot of weight since my last weigh in. I'm not sure what that's about but I'm a strong advocate of "healthy" weight loss (ie, no more than 2lbs/week), so I may need to rethink my diet/exercise habits.

I'm going to wait for the weekend to see if it's a continuing trend before I change anything, but I know it's somewhat discouraging to think I'm going wrong somewhere. I thought I had found a good balance (ie, I am not really ever hungry because I snack throughout the day instead of having super large meals- for example, I ate my eggs with toast/cheese at 8 this morning and just had my yogurt and cheerios at 10).

I guess we'll just see how it pans out; I think cutting out the sodas a couple weeks ago and the high-fat ice cream earlier this week is having a bigger impact than I thought! ;)

Anyways, happy hump day!
