Days 83-89 and Month End Review

Day 83 was Monday.  I no longer remember what happened on Monday, but I did not exercise.

Tuesday is our Aqua Zumba day, but we had a late meeting at work and we did not get to go.  Heather tried to be the angel on my shoulder and told me how much better I would fee if I worked out, but alas, I did not heed her advice.  I told myself tomorrow.

Wednesday after work I thought of Heather and her advice and this:

So I got on the treadmill and did 31 min of walk 3 @ 3.0 min and run 2 min @4.0.  I did 5 intervals with a 2 min warm up and cool down @2.0.  If you have been paying attention I decreased my rest walk from 4 min to 3 min between intervals.

Thursday I had good intentions of going to Aqua Zumba, but I left my clothes at home.  BOO!  So I came home and hit the treadmill for the 30 min random hill walk.  The average incline was 6.0--not bad.

Friday after work we went out to eat.  We tried yet another pizza place for Jim and I gave in to temptation and ordered wings w/ a salad.  I am so glad I did!  These were probably the best wings I have had since moving here!  WE also ordered a cannoli to go that we were supposed to share, but I ate it all.  No work out completed.

Saturday we spent at home cleaning house.  I washed down the kitchen cabinets, straightened out the living room, vacuumed the floors, base boards and furniture, and steam mopped the house.  After that I hit the grocery store, showered and took a nap.  After a luxurious nap we went to dinner at a Peruvian resturant, AJ Limon.  It was delish.  I had tacu tacu with grilled beef.  The tacu tacu is a rice and black bean "pancake" similar to Cuban moro rice.  I liked that we tried something new and different.  We will definitely be going back.

So today is Sunday and day 89 of this journey.  This week my motivation flagged I believe in direct correlation to my posting on this blog.  Knowing this I am making a promise to myself to not go more than 3 days without posting.  I know life sometimes gets in the way, but I need to put myself first in this process.  This week while I did not exercise as much as I previously did I still ate reasonably well--barring our restaurant jaunts.  My goal is exercise at least 5 days next week.  Today is not over yet, and I plan to get on the treadmill at some point today.

Today I weighed in at 236.2 for a total of 1.6 lbs lost this week and 32 total.  I am happy with this number.  I also posted my measurements--total lost is now 12.5in.--over a foot of myself gone!  At the end of April I will post new progress pics.  The beginning of May we go on our cruise!
