Behind Already....but Ahead

I know that I said I would keep this blog updated as I continued on my quest for health and fitness, but I have been slacking.

That is not to say that I have been slacking in my quest for health and fitness. On the contrary.....

Last week was the first official week and I lost 5 pounds! I suspect it is because the Weight Watchers website was using my previous weight which was 25 pounds lighter than now. I did enter my new weight, but forgot to hit reset, so I had the wrong points allowance for the day. I was able to do it without being hungry, but....

I also started working out more. The thing with Weight Watchers is that you get to add points to your daily points allowance if you workout. I love math and numbers (because I am a goober) so this works for me. I challenge myself to workout so that I can justify adding something to my diet. I can eat my low calorie desserts because I ran or did yoga or did my step 'n pump.

Speaking of step 'n pump - I had done this about 3 or 4 weeks ago and thought I was going to die. Then I did it this week after other workouts and after eating better and I was a champ! I felt like a million bucks and didn't want to stop. But I figured I better since I didn't want to overdo it and injure myself.

My reward at the end of the week was a wonderful massage. And damn, did I need it!

Here's to another great week! Hope to check in more than once per week.

With any luck I will be able to get outside to run and/or bike. I don't mind running in the snow and cold, but I prefer not to. I want to get out of my living room!
