I'd like to report that I went to weigh-in tonight but I decided to have a family day instead. I took the kids out for the day then got home, picked up hubby and went to dinner. I really didn't want to go tonight anyway because I knew it was going to be a gain. So, I'll go on Saturday to try to salvage the last week.
I've been doing okay, not the best. But, I am happy to report that my exercise is getting better. On my last post, I blogged that I jogged/walked 3.5 miles. I was sore for a few days and didn't want to push it. But, tonight, knowing that I needed to get my 3 exercises in per week, I decided to go out. And I am glad I did.
I did something tonight that I haven't done, probably since 2003. I actually jogged a full mile today without stopping. I also did the mile in 15 minutes. I know that there are joggers and runners out there who laugh at the time, but since I've never been a good runner/jogger and the fact that I haven't jogged in almost 8 years, I am pretty happy with myself. And, I ran a total of 30 minutes and walked 20 minutes (run 15, walk 3, run10, walk 5, run 2, walk 2, run 3, walk 12).
So, I treated myself with a glass of wine and spent some time on the computer while relaxing.
Here's to working out.
So benefits of weigh in saturday: gives you and extra day to salvage the week plus hello morning weight vs afternoon weight (we all know that can sometimes be like a 5 pound differance). Only real draw back back is that then next week will be a "short" week.
