I had such an awesome week last week! It didn’t start out so hot- I tried to pull on a pair of jeans that had been super-comfy, and they wouldn’t go over my butt :blink:. I refuse to go back up a size, in fact I just donated all my old jeans to the Salvation Army. So obviously, I need to lose the weight.
South Beach worked really well for me last year, but I gained 10 lbs since Thanksgiving, after maintaining my weight since last March. Those bad habits crept in and really slammed me- I’ve never gained weight that fast in my life, outside of pregnancy!
So last week I went back on South Beach. The first few days were rough but I stuck to it and by the weekend I’d lost 3 lbs! I also got back up on that treadmill. I did about a mile each time, and it felt really good. By the weekend I was pumped! The weather was spring-like, I was getting those jeans back on my body! Other things were going well, too. We met with our builder and we’re going to be able to start construction on the addition as soon as we get the permits. I set up a new chore schedule for the boys and they were following through with minimal hassle.
Pat & I went off to a local home show and got some great info and ideas for the deck we’re putting on, and I got to talk to hot tub sales people as a person who actually plans to buy a hot tub, wheee!
It’s all good.
So on our way home from the home show Pat wanted to stop for coffee. I was tired and really wanted to head home, but he looked at me like this :frown: because he really wanted to sit and hang out before we headed back to the kids. He convinced me. I figured I would order a skim mocha latte and it would be a nice treat.
Walked in the door and fell to the floor. Literally. My ankle gave out, or I tripped, I dunno, but down I went. And in a room full of people - no one but Pat even noticed. Sheesh.
Luckily I was ok- just a bruised ankle that still hurts. Plus I kinda let myself have a chocolate cupcake (thanks to my friends Robin & Lisa who told me how good they were…!)
So no treadmill this week, but I did get right back on the diet after the cupcake. And this is going to be a good week, too.
YGG for getting back on track! Ouch! Sorry about the ankle! And the cupcake too. Hope you thought it was good tho! Your home shopping sounds like fun! I’m thinking of gutting Morgan’s room and getting her a new bed. No painting this time tho, she’ll have to stick with the cream yellow it is.
