I'm not sure why/ how I always end up feeling like I failed with my exercise/ health plans over the weekends. I ran a mile in 7:47 Monday afternoon (new fastest time EVER!) and ran 2 miles yesterday with a average time of just under 9:25 per mile (also fastest time ever for 2 miles!). Oh, and today is weigh-in day and I lost a pound! I cheated and weighed myself yesterday (ok, so I weight myself every day) and said pound was lost then too!.
I'm going to get dinner with my mom tonight (at a Mexican restaurant, dun dun dun) so I can meet with her to borrow some dresses from my sister for this coming weekend. Hopefully the momentum I have right now will steer me away from the chips!
And I have the bodyrock exercise to do afterwards- majorly full belly + bodyrock sound like a recipe for a disaster. Another good reason to eat in moderation (and not drink because it is a weekday).
Also, more plans for the weekend (I swear I'm really not that cool- plans every weekend is a fluke!) that could possibly lead to over-indulging. I'm going to a bachelorette party in DC including dinner, bar-hopping and then brunch the next morning. Did I mention we all have to wear matching tank tops? I'm not sure how getting dressed up and the tank tops is going to work out...
Anyways, sorry for the mopey post Monday. I really was feeling down about my eating over the weekend. Seeing progress on the scale makes me think about how much more progress I would have if I kept my weekends more balanced. I'm planning extra gym time Friday after work, a run Saturday morning before I leave for DC and, depending on traffic, a walk Sunday afternoon when I get home. Hopefully, the guilt will be non-existent with the extra workouts!
And.... TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! Definitely feeling in on the east coast- upper 80s and 90s for the rest of the week, lows in the mid-70s at night. No more windows open for us!
