Today was absolutely beautiful! The sun was shining and it was about 55 degrees! Pete took my son to a basketball game so my daughter and I spent the day together. I completely overslept and missed the daycare at the gym. I'm not going to beat myself up over it though, I obviously needed the rest. We went on a nice long walk - I'd say around 3 - 4 miles. It was PERFECT! My daughter had her baby with her again and once again I got funny looks. It's funny, when I bought the doll I was so very excited about it because it looked so much like her when she was a baby. I never thought this could pose a problem! One guy actually said today that the doll looks like it could be my daughter's sister! HA!
I took it pretty easy again. I figure Monday will be a good day to get back on track after my wicked pain attack. Of course, yesterday my freaking monster of a dog (she is absolutely huge) barreled into me and nailed me in the knee cap. I have no idea what part of her body was so hard that it hurt like that, but I now have a big lump and a bruise there. It is really tender. I figure one more day of resting won't hurt that either. I'm not worried. I got SO much more exercise in this one week than I have in the last six months! I actually find myself looking forward to my weigh in day on Monday!
Monday is going to be pretty insane actually. I have the usual drop off of my son to school, then the race to the gym. I'll have to hurry up at the gym because I have to race across town to the pain doctor to get another injection in my face. Then I go home and rest for a bit - if the injection hurts anything like the last one I'm going to need to put my feet up for a while. Then I have to get my son after school and then go to a dentist appointment at 4. EEK! I am thinking ahead though! I am going to have all of my meals for Monday already cooked and packaged up, ready to go! That way I won't have an excuse to eat like crap!
You know, I thought it was silly of me to keep that journal like I do - you know, what my plan for the next day with all the meals scheduled in advance. Well, let me tell you what! I didn't do it on Friday and I screwed up like nobody's business! I won't do THAT again! I didn't even MEAN to not do it, I was so tired I just fell asleep before I could write in my journal! I even fell asleep with it in my lap! That is why I am going to do tomorrow's plan as soon as I finish here! I'm feeling so pretty excited about this journey! I can't wait to get back to where I was before surgery! I think I'm going to make a list of goals. Last time I did 36 by 36. Well, this year is the big 39 - EEK! I don't think I have time enough to finish 39 goals by my birthday so maybe I'll cut the number in half - well, mostly anyway, since 39 is not an even number. :-D Let's make it 20 by 39! I'm going to think on that, I am pretty sure I can get those written down and entered on a page on this blog by tomorrow night! I know I still have to post some before pictures. I have to admit. I'm pretty intimidated by that. It hurts me to the core that I am not where I was after all that hard work two years ago! I'm sure I'll get them on here, I DID take them, I just need to lose a bit more weight before I feel ok with putting them on here! I need some distance from this version of me!
Well, my little ankle biters are still awake and it's past their bed time! It's time for me to sign off! Have a wonderful night! Thank you so much for reading! -Monica
