The day dawns bright and crisp this Monday morning, and what better way to celebrate than by weighing myself! It was a rough week due to bloating and having a head cold (not something I recommend having at the same time). Toast and chicken noodle soup were all I wanted, and not something I should have in place of meat and veggies- but who wants to chew a lot when your head hurts?
So I fed the cold, and starved the fever- and I laid on the couch a lot. I was surprised to see I'd lost one pound when I got onto the scale! Oh sure, that's a mere half-pound for the past two weeks, but it's still a loss! Especially surprising since I'd hardly gotten any walking in this past week. I hate being sick!
I still have some minor congestion, but the walk this morning was nice! I was feeling the burn in my calves, but not nearly as bad as it was the first time out- so I have a little more stamina, which is a good thing. The crisp air also cleared my lungs out a little, and I feel much more human.
The housework has been piling up, so I'll be doing a few vacuum lunges as well as working on getting arm muscle by hand-washing the dishes. Maybe even do a little stretching beforehand and afterward to get the cricks out.
Unfortunately the gym is looking less likely until the New Year, due to financial constraints. I am looking into other exercises to do until then, just to build up a little more stamina and gain more tone. I bought a book based on The Biggest Loser's exercise regimen (for home use- very little equipment needed), so once I study the guide, I'll let you know what I'm doing and how I'm doing it.
In the meantime...I'm Hungry! I haven't eaten yet (was up at 5:30- it's now 10:00), and the pangs have finally come, so off to a wondrous protein-filled breakfast! God bless, and may you have a fantastic day!
