Back in action

I was sick all last week and stayed home most of the time.

Can I get a 'Blah!' ?!

I've sat home for as long as I could stand and I am ready to jump back into the real world.

I have a big exam tonight that I haven't done lots of studying for, so I think I'll have to skip the gym today to brush up on my knowledge, then I'll pick my work out schedule back up on Tuesday.

My scale says I've dropped 6 pounds, but I am chalking that up to not feeling well. If it stays for another day or so, I figure it's a keeper!

The start of a new habit...hopefully!

I did it. I hit the gym after work yesterday.

I spent some time on the treadmill in the cardio cinema. This is one of my favorite things about the gym I go to. They show movies...sometimes good, sometimes lame, but watching them always makes the time pass faster. They were showing Wild Hogs (eh) so I alternated between watching that and listening to the New Moon audio book on my iPod.

I really felt great after working out!

I've got my bag packed and ready to go after work again today. Since I have a little more time today I will add some weights to my cardio.

I know it's not a huge difference, but I was happy that I saw a .5 lb weight loss on the scale this morning. It was a great start to the day!

Vegas success

Vegas was great!!

I didn't do wonderful, food-wise, but I didn't do too bad either. I had turkey bacon and egg whites for breakfast and mostly roast turkey, mashed potatoes and cocktail shrimp at the buffet.

Plus, we walked that strip so much that I know I must have burned off twice what I ate! I haven't weighed myself since I got home, but I am definitely curious as to what the number will be.

And the whole swimsuit unveiling wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be...phew! I felt good, not super self conscious. I did wear a little matching wrap so as not to flash my iffy bum and inner thighs!

Posting some 'before and now' shots soon...
