When You’re not in the mood

I had defeated the idea of going to the gym. You see, because we recently moved, we haven’t been confident enough in our incorrigible dog Ellie to not destroy everything in the house – see below.

So rather than submit to the idea that I was a. going to have to wait til this afternoon to go for a run on the treadmill, I decided that instead of waste 2 hours, I’ll shred with jillian Michaels (*shudder*), know I got in a good workout, drop pup off at daycare at 2 and still make it to Ikea and back hopefully in time for saturday night mass. Doubtful about the Mass part, but I can hope.

I’m trying to find alternative routes, because sometimes, the gym just isn’t in the cards. As much as I loathe that attitude, I need to stay on track.

So despite me searching for my sneakers for 45 minutes, and the wii fit not quite working right (thanks to the move.) I think i did good today. Thanks Jillian for kicking my ass, and thanks wii fit for not being too mean to my sedentariness.

Food wise?

Breakfast had a whole wheat english muffin and a banana. Skipped my mid-am snack in lieu of a late breakfast. For lunch I had leftover chili from last night (omg was soo good) with a dash of cheddar and a small dollop of sour cream (low fat!)  then I had 2 clementines for a mid afternoon snack. Not sure what we’re doing for dinner but I know I’ll keep it on the healthy side.

Starting weight this week: 150ish (i was recently weighed at the doctors, right when I was PMSy so I’m sure I had some water weight there)
Saturday weight: 146.5 (according to the wii fit)

Total loss: 3.5 lbs
Goal weight: 125lbs. (BMI of 23 as opposed to the 26.5 it’s at now)

Now I know results are slow coming, but in order to lose those 20 lbs in 6 months it puts me at about 2lbs/ week. Entirely doable if I keep up the trends of this week. Not to mention when I vamp up my training, I’ll focus more on
