A couple weeks ago I dropped an almost full can of Redi-Whip on my big toe. Right where the toe-nail meets the toe. It's still very black and I'm just waiting for the day I look down and am missing a toe nail. (I'll post a pic if I can figure out how to get a photo from my phone to the blog. Still figuring this stuff out). Once it finally got to the point that I could put shoes on again I came down with a little cold. Not a big one, just a little one. But it wiped me out for a couple of days. Needless to say I didn't do a very good job in going to the gym for a couple of weeks.
So being the realist I can sometimes be I had to take another look at my latest goal.
Yesterday when I got on the dreaded scale the number glaring back at me was (now read this in a hushed but somewhat not too embarrassed tone) 198. Yay, I'm finally under 200 and keeping it there. Now that I've just jinsked myself, I'll have to knock on wood. Because of the toe and cold I'm only doing 4.5 miles on level 3 instead of up to level 4 like I originally hoped. I'll bump that up next month. I've been trying to do some push-ups (no not the bra, with my actual arms, building up the biceps) or some weight training on one of the machines at the gym each day. Baby Steps.
I am now hoping to be around 190 lbs by the first part of Dec. Guess the piece of cheesecake I had for dessert isn't going to help me get there. But watch out gym. Here I come. Everyday this week. Even as busy as the week is going to be I have to take the time to come visit. Even if it means coming at 0800 after I've been up all night working.
