Back to Business

So...about that challenge I set for myself last week? Yea...miserable fail. To recap:
Monday -- Yoga and Run
Tuesday -- Yoga
Wednesday -- Run
Thursday -- Yoga
Friday -- Yoga and Run
Saturday -- Rest

Here's what ACTUALLY happened:
Monday -- Rest
Tuesday -- Run
Wednesday -- Yoga
Thursday -- Run
Friday -- Yoga
Saturday -- Rest

While I did do something almost everyday, it definitley wasn't my best showing. And on top of that, Hubs and I went out on Friday night with my classmate and her husband and I drank a whole bunch and ate a whole bunch. I was even going to go on a late night Taco Bell run in my drunken stupor, except when I got there they were already closed (it was 2 am). Thank God. BAD!

And then yesterday, because I was just a wee bit hungover and still craving bad food, I took Bubs to Red Robin and had a deliciously calorie-laden chicken sandwich and onion rings. And for dinner, we ordered an inordinate amount of sushi. Fail fail fail.

Sigh....so when I got on the scale this morning I was back at 186lbs. :( I hit my lowest ever this week though. 180.6lbs. It felt so great to get on that scale and ALMOST see the 170s! I'm hoping to get there this week. I know the 186lbs I'm seeing isn't really my weight. It's probably a lot of water weight considering I've been drinking alcohol and eating crap and not really drinking a whole lot of water, so I'm trying not to get discouraged. Plus, I had a great time and I still need to live my life and not worry SO much about it all the time. It's all about the longterm, and as long as I get back on track, then I'm fine.

So today, I ran/walked 5.3 miles, in 1:04:18 in the pouring rain. It was nice when I left my house and then the skies opened up about halfway through my run and drenched me. I had to take my arm band off and stick it in my bra so my phone wouldn't get too water logged. My shorts were falling off, they were so full of water. But it was nice to get a good interval run in especially since I haven't been running all that much since we moved. After my run, I came home had some oatmeal with almond butter and cocoa powder, then met my "Big Sib" for school for lunch (I had a strawberry/orange/banana smoothie), then came home and had leftover sushi with Hubs before bathing Bubs and putting her down for a nap (they went fishing again). Now I'm just kind of relaxing and doing laundry--about to go lounge around and watch the Olympics.

So my goal for the week is to get into the 170s. My mom is coming to visit Friday morning and will be staying the weekend, so I need to workout and be on my best most awesome eating behavior prior to her arrival. Here's what I'm hoping to do:

Monday -- Yoga
Tuesday -- Run
Wednesday -- Run/Yoga
Thursday -- Yoga
Friday -- Run

Seems realistic. Tuesday I have a meet and greet with a bunch of my new classmates so hopefully I can keep it together then. We shall see.

That's all for now! :)
