Wednesday WI–Stella got her groove back

Yeah, no, never saw the movie…

So this week’s WI was great!  Down 7.1 – I know – crazy, right?  Well, here’s the thing….a LOT of that has to do with these insane antibiotics & decongestants I’m on right now for all this (waves hand around head) mess going on.  Who needs to do a crazy cleanse when you’re on these bad boys?!  Only one more day to go & I’m done – whew!

BUT…I’m not going to put down the fact that I kicked azz myself!  I tracked every BLT and ate within my calories all day except one & then only went over by 123 calories.  I feel I have my groove back.  Ya know, pre-Sandy and pre-holidays?

So obviously my January goal of losing 4lbs for the month is good, right?  Well, no…I need to keep these lbs. off for the entire month.  I need to keep them off…keep.them.off.  That’s the thing.

My goal for working out 3x week did NOT happen.  I pushed myself last Thursday to run & could barely make it 15 minutes without my lungs burning, my coughing accelerate & my body start to ache.  That was it.  Basically from Thursday night to Monday morning I was either on my couch, in my bed or in the tub soaking away the achy muscles.  I tried Friday, Saturday & Sunday to get to the store, but every time I made the effort to get ready I was too weak so Rich ended up going & taking Natie with him.  It gave me some time to mentally rest too…and gave little man a break from his cabin fever weekend.

So my goals for this week are to stay the same WI wise & to slowly start working out again.  I’m hoping the 59 degree weekend we’re suppose to have will help – and yes, that’s not a typo – we’re expecting temps around 59 this weekend!  (It’s still January & winter, right?)

Ohhhhh….and Sarah, I took your advice & got an AWESOME Buff from Amazon.com.  I’m expecting it this week…so when NY decides to act like winter again, I’m going to put it to the test!

Isn’t it “purty”?
