This week has been a complete and total failure. I did NOT even come close to meeting my goal of running 3 days. I ran on Monday. Tuesday, being Valentine's Day and all, was spent together as a family on the couch. Then came Wednesday. I was supposed to run, but then I just had a really bad headache and was starting to feel gross. I thought it was ok - I could run Friday and Saturday nights. Then, my throat started really hurting and my voice went away. It was not pretty. Friday, we ended up going out with friends for a little bit and by the time Saturday night came around, both Alicia and I were pretty much down for the count.
The whole week was terrible. I ate cupcakes every day. I didn't run and I feel/felt like crud. I actually gained weight this week. (.2 pounds, but whatever!) I haven't gained weight since Christmas. It's been pretty depressing.
I was going to run tonight, but then it's ballet night for Parker, which means we don't get home until 8 and then she often isn't asleep before 9. The whole thing is just a recipe for disaster. And, I'm still not feeling great. Relying on cold medicine to get me through the day. I feel like these are excuses and if I was REALLY into this, I would just go. But I really am exhausted and don't feel well.
I'm hopeful that this week will be better. We get a week off from basketball games, which should help tremendously. And, we have decided to offer ourselves an incentive: Once we each lose 10 more pounds, we get a date night. (That's a sad bribe, isn't it?) But, I'm hoping for a date in 3 weeks!
20 more pounds puts me at a healthy BMI, 30ish more pounds makes me skinny like in college.....
Let's......Go...... (Can you tell it's really hard right now?)
