Weigh-in Day

Last week's routine was thrown off in preparation for and the duration of my trip to Denver! I got up at the awful hour of 5:30 am to go walking with my mom while I was there, still it only resulted in 3 days of exercise for the week. The trip was grrrrreat!

I was terrified to step on the scale this morning. Given last week's 5 lb. weight gain, and the delicious restaurants and yummy food prepared by my mom last week. I mustered up the courage and was surprised to see I'd dropped 4 lbs. Kind of amazing. Not sure how it happened.

This morning was the first day of school, which means it's time for mom to get back to her early morning routine. The alarm went off at 6 am, and I made it out the door by 6:30. Scriptures are at 7, so not enough time for a long run, but I got a couple miles in (in the literal sense of a "couple" meaning 2). It was chilly and windy. WINDY. I am not a fan of the wind. My ears always hurt by the time I get home from the wind blowing in them.

So, I did okay at breakfast, two pieces of wheat toast with peanut butter. Higher in calories and carbs than I should, but we're desperate for a trip to the store. Lunch kind of got away from me. At least the discipline part of it. I at 2- ugh! It's worse in print- that's TWO grilled cheese sandwiches and an apple. And I really just want to keep eating.
