I spent the last five days house/dog sitting for someone while she was out of town, and I'm so happy to be back in my own house again! Part of that happiness is being back with a scale... Not gonna lie, I hunted down the scale in that house pretty quick after I got there, but the batteries were dead or something, so I was completely in the dark the whole time! Not something I'm a fan of. Not at all. I like to weigh in on a daily basis... It's just a compulsive thing for me! So when I woke up all happy in my own bed this morning, I finally got to get back on my beloved(haha!) scale... Which proceeded to tell me that I weigh 248 pounds today! Woohooooo! That's the same thing it told me Thursday morning before I left for the other house, but I hadn't been sure if I trusted it because I'd been 251 on Wednesday... But it's still there today! Seeing a lower number would have been cool, but I got almost no exercise while I was there, so keeping that same number is pretty awesome!
I'm going to have to restart week 2 of C25K, because I did the first day a week ago, then never got to continue to the other two days because of where I was. I don't know the neighboorhood layout nearly as well, and there's actual hills and whatnot over there. No thank you! I also didn't want to run on a treadmill, because... I hate them. Hate. So tonight after yoga I'm going to go out and see how I do on W2D1 again, and hopefully I make it through okay! It was pretty tough last time around!
I'm still not a super big fan of Yoga at this point, although I think after reading a bit that it may just be the practice we're doing in my class that I don't like. We're practicing Hatha Yoga, which is more about relaation and holding poses and whatever. It's still pretty intense, I think, but it's just a little too slow for my tastes. Oh well! This is what I'm signed up for, so I'm just going to have to get used to it. Now please excuse me while I continue counting down the weeks... LOL
I've been thinking that I need to throw in a little extra exercise on top of C25K and Yoga, just to help keep things moving. I've been missing zumba, though my only chances for that at this point will be on Saturdays and Sundays, since yoga falls right when it starts during the week. I don't know, there's all kinds of options I could go for, it's just a matter of making myself get up and take advantage of them!
Right now I'm feeling so proud of myself for where I am in my head in regards to my weight loss efforts. I'm motivated, I'm thinking about it all the time, I'm making good decisions so I can keep up the good things I've been doing... And I'm not resenting it at all. Sure, I want something sweet or something bad for me here and there, but I can let myself indulge in whatever sometimes and not end up completely derailed from my efforts... It's a very empowering feeling. I am strong, and I can do this, as long as I continue to be driven and believe that I can. :D
