Hmm...something is amiss

It's called my weigh-in this morning! Didn't budge one ounce! After what I ate and the lousy and lack of workout's I had though, I really thought I was going to be going up on the scale this week.

It's honestly been no good!! Connor has been sick and while my mom has been in town to help me out, I have been under the weather now as well. I went to the gym on Tuesday for a strength training workout and it was fantastic...felt good and added weight to my usual routine. I was really proud of my workout Tuesday. Wednesday I was sloted to do 7 miles but after I got there, I could only manage 3.5 and I was done! I was having a big problem with my left contact and couldn't see a thing out of my left eye...it was making me incredibly dizzy and out of control. So, I left after I got in what I was moderately satisfied with.

Today was weigh in day and you read how my lack of progress has me a little discouraged. I was supposed to go to the gym for a weight training session but Connor had a rough night and I am not feeling well so I decided it was a no-go. The diet isn't going to be any better today as I am treating my mom to mezzaluna for dinner and a cookie pizza for dessert...yummy!!

Tomorrow after I drop my mom off at the airport, I am really hoping to get the gym for an intervals session on the treadmill and hopefully, if I am feeling up to it, a little modified strength training workout. Saturday is an off day and depending on whether or not I go to church on Sunday morning will dictate if I log my 2 miles or not. Next week is a new week....hopefully a Saturday morning trip to the doctor and some med's will put me on the mend and with Connor on the upswing, maybe we can get back to some sense of normalcy.

I still have the same goal for next Thursday that I had for this one...I really want to be at 120 even. That is almost my mid-way point and just that nice, round number would be beautiful on the scale and in my head to push me through the next 10-12 pounds!

Icy Hot is not for me!

So, I am extremely allergic to Icy Hot! I put some on my ankle and it was fine for awhile, but eventually it started burning. I tried to wash it off, but it had already absorbed into the skin and it burned all night long. Thankfully, the burning has stopped and now it's on to good 'ol ice packs. PS- if you use the method I put on my blog PLEASE make sure you use a towel between your skin and the ice pack- it will cause frost bite!!!

Today was weigh in day for the Biggest Loser challenge. I am down to 122.8 and felt awesome!!! This puts me down 8 pounds total and 3 pounds down from the start of the challenge.

There is no workout for me today because of other obligations I have. Tomorrow morning I am running outside and then in the evening (crossing my fingers that I have the motivation to go), I am going to the gym to get a strength training workout in.

I am trying really hard to lose 2.5 more pounds before the weigh in next week and that will put me at a 10 pound weight loss since Ben has deployed. I would be 1/2 way to my total goal weight!! Not only am I pumped about the weight loss, but 3 miles is now coming easier and easier and feeling more natural!
