I gained weight!!! Oh my gosh!!! I gained 0.6lbs according to Weight Watchers… (and lost 0.2 according to the challenge weigh in, it’s on the same night as WW… hm…)
I realize it’s a tiny amount to gain, but it’s also a missed opportunity to lose my 1-2 lbs/week so it’s worth serious consideration. I did, however, enjoy every minute of gaining weight this week as I had an Italian Feast on Saturday for some friends and we all left feeling well fed on pasta, Cesar salad, olives, sausage, breaded steak, chicken parmesan and cannoli!. I could attribute the small gain (rather than a huge one) to the fact that a sudden flu knocked me on my butt from Sunday morning through Tuesday night. Fever and body aches really take the appetite right out of a girl. I will say that I feel lucky to have only gained 0.6lbs… but I do need to kick it into high gear soon because I am trailing my boyfriend in the challenge and I want to win!!!
I’m grateful for the job I have because it allows me structure to make sure I’m getting my liquids in and I have accountability here to keep me away from the vending machines and a huge fridge to store my salads and healthy snacks…
Oh! Yoga!!! Did I mention yoga is a bazillion times harder than it looks? We learned to stand, sit, do table pose, and downward facing dog… all of it was really a workout (albeit a sweat-less one) but down-dog was sooooooo freaking hard! Especially going from table to down-dog… my toes do NOT bend backward. I’m told it gets easier, but that was by people that aren’t trying to balance 235lbs on their teeny tiny hands and feet… I’m sticking with it, mainly for the PE credit, but I probably will not continue to take it if I don’t actually get better (stronger) by the end of the semester.
Good week all-in-all, even counting being so sick I couldn’t sleep. I feel so much better today and am hopeful that tonight’s yoga class will leave me with a sense of accomplishment and growth.
See you all next week.
