After Mondays's awful weigh in, I forced myself on the scale again this morning just to see what difference a couple day makes. I did a lot better with my food choices the last few days and the scale showed a 2.6 pound loss between Monday morning and this morning. I'm sure there are different factors and I'm not getting my hopes up by any means. I ate better - that's all.
I'm already doing better today food-wise as well. I've been staying up pretty late every night watching Sons of Anarchy reruns (just started watching the series on Netflix on Saturday and I'm HOOKED) so waking up early has been a struggle. I've been so stressed and down in the dumps lately that I haven't had any energy to do anything so running has kind of taken a back burner for awhile. The heat is killer and I absolutely cannot wait until Fall.

| (source) cake should be similar to this |
Ben's birthday is two weeks from last Monday but his birthday is only 9 days away and that's been the main source of my stress lately. I'm just worried about not having everything done in time. We hired someone to make his cake and I'm stressing about not knowing anything about it (we showed her what we wanted, but since I won't actually see it until it's delivered, I'm super nervous) and we still haven't decided what we want to serve for lunch. :/ We are going to Fort Collins, Colorado this weekend to do birthday and school shopping and I'm stressing about that. I hate spending money. HATE it. I love shopping, but I have an anxiety attack when I get up to the check out line. :(
My own birthday is coming up in September. I'll be 32. Thirty two. I'm really starting to feel old. I had such a hard time turning 30 and each year it gets harder and harder. I didn't spend a lot of my teenage years actually being a teenager. I was fat and miserable. Now that I'm getting older, but am more in shape, I feel like I missed out on a lot. Not dating or anything like that, but being active and free. I have kids now and it's not easy to just go away for a weekend and try new things, you know?
Anyway, the reason I bring up my birthday is that Preston bought
tickets to the Denver-Pittsburgh game in Denver on September 9th. It's
the day after my birthday and I'm sooooo excited! I've never been to an
NFL game and not only do I get to go, but I get to see my favorite
football time - the Pittsburgh Steelers! It's going to be so much fun.
:) And I get to cross another thing off my
12 in 2012.
I am back in the swing of things too and after an amazing run last night I feel sooooo much better.. so much that I KNOW my gain was water because its almost gone! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what a few days on track will do. I hear yea about the heat! Running has been such a struggle for me and I feel like I haven't progressed at all, but it's so friggen hot!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you'll ba having a great birthday! My boyfriend turns 32 this year as well, but it doesn't seem to bother him any... probably because he still acts like he's 22 ;)
Great job on the loss--just focus on one day at a time! I LOVE the cake (I used to make them, and that one is VERY cute and impressive!).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your football story--I LOVE football!! By the way, you're only as old as you allow yourself to think. And 32 is young! :)
