241.8 - Only 1.8 pounds away from a hula hoop!
About the only thing I did well this week was stick to roughly 1300 calories per day. I ate out for 2 lunches and a dinner, but was careful about the cals and logged them.
I only exercised 3 days this week, I only drank about 40-60 ounces of water per day. I commented on the bare minimum of 3 blogs. I'll work on all of that this week, but if I stuck to one thing, I'm glad it was the calories. Oh, and I practiced meditation several times this week.
The elliptical is still making a horrible scraping sound when I use it. I've called the service folks (again) about it. The dude didn't fix it his first time out, so I'm going to keep calling him back until they make it WORK right.
It seems like every time I get something fixed, something else breaks. We got SNOW yesterday. I had a terrible time getting the plow blade on the ATV, involving 2 trips to the dealer, but finally got it at about noon, mere hours before the snow started. Then today when I tried to take the plow for a test run on the 4 inches of snow, the ATV wouldn't start. Ugh.
Then, after spending several days last week making the house sparkle, my dog got diarrhea and pooped in about 5 different rooms. Double Ugh.
I took a vacation from volunteer firefighting after Monday night - and we got 13 calls this week, all of which I skipped (4 fire alarm activations, 1 carbon monoxide detector, 1 diabetic problem, 1 structure fire, 1 hemorrage, 3 falls, 1 power pole snapped, 1 medical alarm).
Buut - I'm good. The last time I weighed 241 was in 2004 when I got down to 220 before gaining it all back plus 20 pounds. When I get to 220 again, it'll be 20% lost from my highest of 276. I haven't told my family about this - so it's gonna be a big surprise at Christmas when I'm 35 pounds lighter than the last time I saw them!
Sorry about the elliptical being a pain. I hope they fix it right this next time. So close to teh hula hoop. WTG.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being an inspiration.

Ugh. Don't you hate it when everything falls apart at the same time?
ReplyDeleteGreat work on counting those calories.
It always seems that when one thing gets fixed something else goes...but as long as you are going well at least those are just things. You are going to surprise them so at the holidays. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing do great. Keep doing what works. Maybe the elliptical is a lemon and they should replace it. Hehe.
