2/20/06

I actually managed to lose 1/2 pound this week. 342.5. I was very surprised. Now just 2 1/2 pounds to be back where I was. I did really well with my eating today. And I've gotten in at least 64 ounces of water.

We did lower body again today in class. Wednesday will be upper body. I'm gonna go on Wednesday, and take Thursday off. I'll do elliptical or treadmill tomorrow. Gotta remember to take my mp3 player, and something to read.

I think I'm gonna change weigh-in to Fridays. It will give me time to atone for the sins of the week-end! ;^) And, if I've lost, hopefully it will help me make good choices on the week-end.

As I expected, the news was not good on the scales Tuesday. 343.1. Ouch! But, that's what I get for eating too much and not working out.

It is hard to get back into the good eating habit. I did poorly yesterday, and just so-so today. My goal is GOOD for tomorrow.

The working out is back on track, though. Went to class Monday. Hips and thighs, with some abs thrown in for good measure. I am so sore. I did 20 (!) minutes on the elliptical on Tuesday. Took today off, and will do either elliptical or treadmill tomorrow, and class on Friday.

Valentine's Day was lovely. Sean brought me roses, balloons and my favorite gum at work. And he bought me a book, Blue Like Jazz, that is overdue from the library, so now I can finally return theirs!

2/11/06

I didn't have high hopes when I got on the scale Tuesday, what with my Super Bowl binging and all, but I was down 1/2 pound, to 339.8. I don't have high hopes for next Tuesday, either. I've been sick all week, and haven't felt like working out. And I've eaten like a pig. So I don't expect the same pleasant surprise I got last week. Oh well, back on track now.

Katchoo was sick this week too. She has crystals in her urine. Cats are pretty prone to urinary tract problems. She now has to drink distilled water. No more drinking out of the bathroom faucet for her. I ordered her a recirculating water dish on e-bay. It is similar to this, but the water shoots up instead of flowing down. She should love it! She has to have special food now, too. $30 a bag food. But it is a 16 pound bag, which should last about 5 months. She has to go back to the vet next month for another urinalysis and a shot. I'm going to let them collect the urine sample this time. Not so easy getting a urine sample from a cat. And she has to take medicine. I could choose from 1 pill a day or drops twice a day, and opted for the drops. When she had to get her worm pill at the vet last year, she REALLY didn't like it, so drops seemed the better option. Not that she likes that, either.
