The Show Must Go On!!!

I have to apologize for the negative post from earlier this week... let me tell you though, it didn't get easier or better this week.  I would do really well during the day at work and then at night I was SOOOO hungry.  In my defense though (I really hate making excuses but...) I think I hit the trifecta this week - Scrapbooking (crappy food), Home (there is Nutella in my house why?) and I got the lady friend (or enemy depending on how you feel about it - oh and I guess you are all getting to know my cycle pretty well - HOW EMBARRASSING).  NOTHING could get me full this week - until it was too late!

However on the flip side I did do some really positive things this week and that was exercise my arse off... while on VACATION!!!

• I started Wednesday morning last week with going to water aerobics (with the lady that works you really hard... we have conflicting personalities and I dislike her personality as much as I like her for her works outs)!  I did this before I met my mom for coffee and left for scrapbooking... had to get up at 6:15 AM on my DAY OFF!!!
• Thursday :  I left the retreat (which was only in Buffalo) to head into Monticello for weight watchers.  I lost 3.6 lbs (as you know) last week.  That was some great motivation for me to leave again later that night to go to water aerobics (with the lady that works you really hard... we have conflicting personalities and I dislike her personality as much as I like her for her works outs)!
• Friday:  I left the retreat AGAIN (had to get up at 6:15 AM on my DAY OFF) to go to the gym for water aerobics (with the lady that works you really hard... we have conflicting personalities and I dislike her personality as much as I like her for her works outs)!
• Saturday:  A hand full of us at the retreat wend for a 2 mile walk (well two of us are the only ones that made it the full two miles)... and the lady I walked with walks as fast as my freakin husband (which is walking slow for him) so I had to keep up - I shaved off almost 1 minute from my mile time.
• Sunday: I went for a 3.57 mile walk all by myself... I intentionally walked a slower mile (plus almost two minutes onto my normal time).
• Monday:  I went to water aerobics... the normal lady was back from vacation.  I did NOT work out very hard on Monday :(

I'll have you know that I have never ONCE worked out while at a scrapbooking retreat - let alone even go for a walk.  So that was a HUGE win for me.

So even though my portion sizes of my meals were large, my snacking was WAY OUT OF CONTROL... I still kept in the back of my head that I had to do something to combat the bad with the good of exercising - The Show Must Go On! 

Now lets get to the good stuff... what you care about - did I gain or lose this week?  I GAINED 2.2 LBS.  However even though I gained this week, I know that it would have been MUCH worse if I hadn't worked out at all.  Here's to hoping for a better upcoming week - my eye is still on the prize so don't be surprised to hear about a big come-back next week!

I can't wait until I'm Healthfully Ever After!
