And the Beat Goes On...

215.6

MONDAY

Another week! And going to be a busy one at that. Today I'm prepping witnesses for federal gran jury testimony tomorrow and Wednesday. Thursday looks chill right now, but Friday Erik, Daniel and I are flying to Michigan for a short vacation over memorial day. Busy busy.

Good weekend overall with just a few stumbles. Yes, Friday night I was "ok". I ended up going out and had 2 beers and an "ok" dinner. But Saturday ROCKED. I ate just as I was supposed to and got a lot done including, watching Daniel's final baseball game, grocery shopping, laundry (including sheets!) AND I run 4.25 miles. Not bad. I was thus rewarded with a 213.8 on the scale Sunday morning. Very nice. My first "213" yet, even if it was a "barely".

Yesterday wasn't bad, but ended not so good. We went to church, then I had to bill some hours for work getting a memo done that I wasn't going to have time to finish this week. I got it done, though, and that's what matters. I was absolutely starving all day, though. I think in part because I had such a low cal day on Saturday. I did good with my choices until about 7:00 pm. Erik had been out running errands, and I was craving food not in my house, so we ended up going to mexican. I didn't go crazy (i.e. margarita's and queso dip) but did, of course eat mexican - which is never good. Thus the scale this morning. Which isn't too bad considering. I'm happy that my "high days" still have me down a good solid 10lbs.

This morning's boot camp was nice, even with the "encouragement" I had to endure. We did sprints along with some strength exercises. I can definitely tell that I'm getting stronger. I can do way more push-ups (yes, on my knees) than I could before. Maybe soon I'll graduate to the "real" ones.

This Thursday is "friends and family" day for boot camp and Erik is ridiculously excited, even if he won't admit it. He even got up this morning at about 5:30 and ran on our treadmill. Something he hasn't done for at least a couple weeks. It's too cute. I think he's really worried he'll look like such a wimp. In reality, there is such a broad range of fitness abilities, that he will be fine, but I'm kinda liking his stressing about it. It's cute.

So I've completed 8 days of the boot camp. It's supposed to be 18 total, but I missed the first two, so for me it's 16. Meaning I'm half way through. I'm pleased with my progress, though I need to keep up better with the food choices to ensure the best results. I'd love to lose 30 lbs in the next 3 1/2 months, but realistically, if I see under 200 before the wedding, I'll feel like a great success.

I can DO it!
