Post-Memorial Day weigh-in--how did you do?
The holiday weekend is over--BBQs, sunshine, alcohol, fun! Hope you all had a good time.
I worked. And worked. It was crazy. On Sunday night my kids were out at the lake with the rest of my extended family for our traditional "open the cabin on Memorial Day weekend" event. I had to miss it. So I found myself doing some emotional eating because of feeling sorry for myself (even tho the choice to work was mine-- humans are NOT logical).
While I am disappointed that I resorted to emotional eating, I see two positives: one, I recognized that I was doing emotional eating, even at the time I was doing it. That helped me keep it somewhat under control. And two, I didn't really have any food in the house that I could do too much damage with. I ended up eating three graham crackers and some yogurt pretzels.
Results:
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 143.9
This week: 142.5
Loss of 1.4 lbs this week
I'll take the loss, but I don't know that it occurred because of anything beneficial I did. I did get out and exercise a bit, not as much as I would have liked.
Paul, I got out on my bike for the first time this year--did an 8 mile ride on Sunday morning. Forgot that it was my first time out for the year, and wrecked my knee! Stupid. I thought I was being really smart by not running so I wouldn't pound on my knee before a long day on my feet at work--do something low-impact like cycling, right? But no. The different motion and flexing was enough to make me gimpy--I even have a bruise showing up on the side of my knee, so I must have torn something. Needless to say, I didn't run the 5K on Monday morning. (I did run 3 miles, but easy running.) Amyway, once again my mileage is low for the week. 15.2 miles running.
How did you all do? How are those stairs treating you, Paul?

How did you all do? How are those stairs treating you, Paul?
I started off the weekend early, by taking Friday off. Did a "Barre" class, then had a spa day- facial, massage, and pedicure!
Saturday, took the 4 legged boy for a long walk, then spent the day with my knitting buddies. Grilled some chicken for dinner (lime juice, olive oil, fresh ginger marinade- Yum)
Sunday, took flowers to the cemetery,a walk with the dog, and grilled steak with a salad.
Monday, two walks with the dog, a Pilates class, and chicken and salad for dinner. No alcohol here.
