I've decided to keep up the weight loss :) I thought about it and figured yanno my hormones have been messed up for 4+ years now, what is another couple of months? In all honesty I think I was just looking for an excuse to stop, and an excuse to eat cake and crap!
As you ladies know it can be such a tiresome commitment. Sometimes weight loss becomes all consuming, and last week it was like that. Partly I think because I had my period which is a horrid time for me, and all I wanted to do was feel sorry for myself and eat as much crap as I could get my hands on. I hate those days when it seems like you can't stop thinking about food, eating a meal and all ready you're thinking about when you can next eat and what you're gonna have and are there any cookies in the house.
I'm trying to decide if I'm going to go to the gym soon or not. I had planned on getting in a cardio session today even though I've already been swimming this morning. But I'm going out to dinner tonight FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3.5YEARS WITHOUT KIDS. Yeh, first time in that long, amazing right?! My sister is baby-sitting and Neil and I are going out for Turkish. Then next weekend we're going out again because its out 16yr anniversary and Debbie (who looks after my kids during the day) is going to look after them for us. So exciting. Err... I digressed... yeh so to gym or not? My muscles are kind of tired from swimming (current pool so its harder than normal swimming) but I'm pretty sure I'll eat more than I should tonight so I'm thinking trade off.
Plus, if I stay home I have to keep marking -LOL- I've only got about 15 essays to go, amazing really I've churned through them this break, I'm actually going to be done before semester starts back on Monday which means I will have a week before my next big lot of marking arrives which makes a nice change. My students have on the whole written really well this time around, my overall average is higher than it should be if I care about the curve but I don't - I believe that a student should get the grade they earn.
So time to go tie on my trainers then. After a quick round of blog catching up that is.
That's the spirit! I'm glad you came to this conclusion, because it seemed like such an obvious choice. Why quite when you are right the heck next to your goal?
ReplyDeleteGeez, I know how you feel when you are on your period. I am right about to start mine, and yesterday I didn't know whether to cry, kill myself, or eat an entire poundcake. I get really weird right before I get it, but after the first day I'm ok.
Second paragraph? My life. Every. Freakin'. Day! I was actually contemplating a post about it. I am so proud of you for dealing with it. I think your decision is a wise one.
ReplyDeleteHope your dinners were great, i will read on to find out.
