Only made it to the gym twice this week unfortunately. Well...three times if you include my aerobics class on Monday. I was ready and more than willing to go today on my lunch, however I forgot my pass card. No card. No go.
My aerobics class has a new instructor, whom I dislike right now. I can't hold it against her, she's just not what I'm used to. In all honestly, she's probably exactly what my aerobic routine needs, a little shake up. She moves at a quicker pace than the class is normally used to. It'll be a push to try and keep up with her. It will mean I'll be back to tripping over my feet again, but hey, that just makes it all the more fun.
I'm getting frustrated with myself on my lunch hour work outs. It seems to me that I was able to accomplish more before. I'm not a patient person. I realize realistically I'm not in the same cardiovascular shape I was before I was pregnant and shouldn't expect to be right back were I was before all this. I know this...I just don't want to accept it. I expect the best from myself at all times and if I can't give my best I get annoyed. Maybe changing my thinking is in order. I'm doing the best I can...for now. It'll come. Just like with my job. It is all slowly coming back to me...all good things come to those who wait. I'm just not helping matters forgetting my card!!!
I'm really missing my walk in the morning. I believe that was a huge factor in my staying in shape. It also means that instead of 70-80 minutes of activity a day, I now only get 20-30. Instead of a basically automatic 2 activity points a day with the walk, and my time at the gym for a total of 4 a day, I'll only get 2. Walking was a great way to keep my butt, thighs and calves in shape. I mourn my morning walks.
At the Weight Watchers meeting on my lunch hour on Wednesday, I was a little discouraged. I knew what the results would be before I weighed in. I did lose. I only lost 0.4 however. I have got to get my weekends under control is I have any hope of losing this weight. Otherwise, I'll just be maintaining and I will not be happy with myself if that scale doesn't move.
I'd like to think this week is going well food wise. I've kept up my journal, even recorded the slip ups (there was a run-in with some Dill Pickle popcorn from Kernels Wednesday night when Brad had to unexpectedly leave the house and I had some points left over...). Last night there was a celebratory dinner at a buffet restaurant (I hate hate hate buffets, as should any self-respecting Weight Watchers member). I think I did well there. Had the soup and salad. Had only small portions of the three things I love (most of the time I can take or leave Chinese food) but blew it with three of those tasty tasty honey twist cookies. But, I recorded it all and tried to estimate my points as accurately as I could.
The weekend looms ahead of me. I have the determination this week to do better and hope for better results on Wednesday.
Till then....
