Behind again ...

So Blogger was down all last Friday, so I wasn't able to post my exercise update.
Much improved this week over the previous! I was able to:
  • Ride my bike 12 miles
  • Walk one mile
  • Cardio/sculpt about 3.25 hours
  • Total days of activity: 6.
As I said that week I am not weighing myself until the Thursday before Memorial Day.
I think this will help me keep my sanity and acknowledge that yes, I do eat over my weekly points (sometimes the activity points, too). But I try to eat  healthier things. Some weeks it might be CEREAL! Another week I am nibbling on brownies for a week. Right now I have a love affair with cinnamon toast made with low-carb pitas.

I win and lose at the same time.

Oy I have been bad ... and frankly don't really give a rat's ass.

Really pretty bad about posting on this blog. It's been another 25 days.
Every weekend I have had something going on.
  • April 16 we went to Dallas for my sister's 30th birthday. I ate and drank a bit. Tried to eat as healthy as I could. Exercised. Started my Insanity recovery week.
  • The weekend of April 23 Ken and I celebrated our wedding anniversary over a couple of days. Lots of Korean food. Finished recovery week. Started Month Two of Insanity.
  • This past weekend was the Royal Wedding. I blew the healthy eating by eating scones, Devonshire cream, sinful chocolate cake and petit fours as well as crumpets and tea. All while sitting on my ass that day watching the wedding. (I did exercise on that Friday at least!) 
But then everything went even more downhill.

I am so, so late starting week two of of Max month. Looking back, if I don't do anything today then that would leave me doing exercise exactly three days this week. Almost making the week a wash. I am not even going to attempt to get on the scale on Thursday. I am afraid of what I will find.

My monthly curse has also been invading my space. This explains my nonstop eating over the weekend. (Sometimes this happens, sometimes I have it well under control.) For two whole days I have had cramps. I get more tired and irritable as the day goes on. I took on an extra WW meeting like a crazy person and this totally whacked with my schedule. When I am in moods like this I have to work extra hard to be sensitive to others when leading my meetings. Having an "I really don't give a shit" attitude about what-you-ate-for-breakfast-all-this-week-and-how-you-have-constipation-all-the-time-because-you-don't-drink-your-water-like-say-you-should will not go over well at my meeting tonight or Thursday. Which will make me even more moody when I get home.

Reading this, Ken? Stay clear of me this week. PLUS I have no food in the house. This makes me even more moody that I have to go to Wal-Mart after my meeting. I'll buy some fruit and stuff my face while I watch 20-somethings-pretending-to-be-teenagers sing very well. Glee is my saving grace on Tuesdays.

The bright spots of the week? I can fit into my purple jeans (well I could last week anyway) and the sun is out.
