Setbacks? A bruised pinky toe.

Days 12-15.

Yep, Tuesdays through Thursdays are definitely the hardest to work out on. Being that I have to be places in the evenings all three days (WW meetings T and Th, weekly get-together with friends on Wed) working out after work is extremely hard since it still gets dark out soon. I always have the best intentions to work out, but nothing really seems to happen.

On Wednesday, I walked a mile during a break at work. That's about it for the rest of the week's activity.
So for week two, I did:

  • Walk: 11 miles
  • Bike ride: 15 miles
  • Sculpt: 15 minutes
When I got on the scale on Thursday morning, I had gained .4 pounds. I am not pleased with that number. I got a little depressed, and I went into 20 extra points on Thursday night, pretty much eating all carbs. (Popcorn, a bagel and 5 Trefoil Girl Scout cookies.) Not really proud of myself.

I had spoken at my WW meeting Thursday night how I eat a really big lunch and then don't leave a whole lot of points left for dinner. I think that may have been a mistake. Friday I ate lighter than I usually did for breakfast and lunch, and left 17 points left for dinner. I think that helped. I ate 7 points in sushi, had some meringues, cheese and fruit for dessert. I had a couple of points left that I didn't use.

Yesterday I also noticed somehow my left pinky toe hurts when I exert a lot of pressure on it. I did walk a mile downtown on a break at work Friday, and I had an intention of doing a DVD when I got home. However when I did, it was throbbing and I had no desire to jump on it. I find that riding a bike does not put much pressure on the toe at all, since the majority of my weight is put on the centerpoint of my foot when riding the bike. When it gets to the mid-50s this afternoon I plan on bundling up and riding the bike around the neighborhood, and see what happens after.

I am staring at my toe right now and it's an unflattering shade and swollen compared to the other toe. It's not broken, however.

If I'm in the mood later I will also do a sculpt workout. However I will do most of it on the floor as not to put too much pressure on the foot.
