Well, it's been a tough last two weeks. Life has been getting in the way with Lori out of town. I tried to do my best, but with a limited schedule for exercise and my cook out of town, things were not ideal. I worked in some exercising, and lots of chores and housework, so maybe that gave me some movement. Stand up, take a step, repeat. On the food, nothing overly bad, but not the greatest. More refined starches found their way into my meals, a a bit of pizza. So by the end of last week, I was holding tight at 212. This week, the saga continued and I was shocked to see that I've somehow lost 4 more pounds and am now at 208! Not sure what's up with that. Possibly a muscle loss due to lack of workout?
Next week I'll be back on it. Today I have some oral surgery matters to take care of. The bigger news is that Lori has secured a job, in Texas. So, we will be moving out of town shortly. The wheels are already turning as to how I'll get in the exercise that I need while on the road there. Bummer is: can't do the Ice Breaker swim, which I was seriously looking forward to. However, the GOOD NEWS is this: I will fly myself and my bike back for the triathlon in July. I've set a goal and I think it's important to follow through.
Before my pre-surgery valium kicks in, I wanted to address the anonymous poster who asked about how, and how often I work out with a trainer. Feel free to contact me directly with questions at: giveitatri @ sbcglobal.net. Briefly though, I have someone who works well with me because she targets my weak areas, she's lost a lot of weight herself and has the right perspective for me and we "click". I meet with her once a month or so, to refresh and get myself a new workout. For cost reasons and independence reasons, this is often enough for me. I have enough internal motivation to keep it going on my own. Anyways, gotta get going to the oral surgeon's office. Have a lovely day and do something today to get your body moving, no matter how small that may be. It'll make your body feel better. Take care! :o)
