Oh
me oh my, another week has gone by!
My
goal was to try and lose 4 lbs this week to reach my goal of 10 lbs by this
Sunday, our engagement pictures.
Saturday
evening while dress shopping I started to get a sore throat. Before bed that night I took some Nyquil and
when I woke up the sore throat was gone.
Sunday I felt the cold coming on.
Monday morning at the gym was rough; I couldn’t breathe from all the stuffiness
in my head and chest. I tried to run but
my body was not having it. Instead I did
incline walking. Tuesday was worse and again running was not
going to happen so I did more incline walking.
Wednesday I felt a little better so I did run for 10 min and then
another 5 min interval later, I had just got my new shoes in the mail so of
course I had to put them to work! The
rest of the time I did incline walking.
Yesterday
was the worse day. I was up all night
blowing my nose and tossing and turning.
Luke left Wednesday morning for work and gets back tonight. So not having him in bed already makes me
restless but throw a cold in the mix and morning comes way to early!
With
this nasty cold I was thankful I didn’t have to work out yesterday or today but
knew the goal of 4 lbs was not going to happen.
Especially since I couldn’t run or really push myself like I did last
week.
Monday-
2.30 miles and 375 calories burned
Tuesday-
2.90 miles and 440 calories burned
Wednesday-
2.65 miles and 417 calories burned
The
scale this morning read….
172
That’s
right a whole whopping TWO
pounds! I get really frustrated because
although I didn’t work out as great this week I still worked out and still ate
really good. Even though I really wanted
some fattening potato soup from one of our local bars that is THE BEST!
I
felt like crap, worked out like crap so the scale showed me crap. UGG!
Oh
well, a new week starts next week and hopefully this dang cold goes away!
I know your goal was 170, but I think you did awesome considering you felt so awful. I give you credit for even working out at all while feeling like that. My first weigh in was today and I'm only down 2 pounds. I was hoping for more too. I did Insanity and boot camp class, but I can't wait to get our treadmill. It will be here in a few weeks and then I'm hoping I can really shed some pounds. I feel like the working out I am doing is building muscle, which is good, but I want to lose weight! Needless to say I'm not too happy with my first week, but that's just motivation for next week I guess!
