Labor Day Weekend
We don’t have the kids this weekend, for Labor Day. Didn’t have them last Labor Day either but last year I kept myself busy by taking a run in the morning. At least I felt like I’d done something productive.
This year, though, I decided to be brilliant and start the 3-day Military Diet. Which I guess is good, considering I’d probably be eating everything in sight from boredom since the kids aren’t here.
The meals honestly haven’t been too bad, and I feel full between meals so that’s good.
I haven’t started running or working out since the last boob incident so I figured I’d do something to kick-start my weight-loss again. I wanted to at least take a walk before meeting Jessica at noon today, but I woke up with my knee killing me! I don’t even know what happened!
[The next day…]
Seeing Jessica R. was great, I missed her! We caught up on a lot of stuff, but it still felt like it wasn’t enough! So grateful for friends you can pick up where you left off with.
I stuck to the diet and had tea, then I got home, had lunch (a boiled egg) and went to see Gramma briefly. I came back home to pick the girls up (Mary took them to doctor and brought them home. Emmos had a cough, Eenan had an infection on a hangnail!) We went grocery shopping and then I really couldn’t stand my knee 🙁 .
I have to admit I got ahead of myself and weighed in yesterday morning. I had lost 1 lb. I guess seeing that discouraged me a bit, so I ate tortilla chips and salsa at dinnertime 😕 .
I weighed in this morning and *drumroll* …
Lost 1.2 lbs. Same as what I weighed in yesterday.
Oh well, it was something, I guess! At least I didn’t gain and I proved to myself I could have self-control if I tried hard enough. Gotta get this knee better so I can start P90X/jogging again :(.
At the doc now for a follow-up (GYN). Meh.
