So week two didn't go very well. I've had weight gain and I will report the official gain on weigh in tomorrow. It wasn't my normal well screw it I am going to eat McDonalds. But my serving sizes were to big, I ate to much candy, and I didn't track what I ate. We ate out this week 3 times, Lapalmera for Mexican, Take out teriyaki, red robin for lunch yesterday & then for dinner we ordered in & I ordered a salad & chili cheese baked potato. So there are my losses. My Wins for last week was a 20 mile bike ride and a 3 mile hike including allot of uphill & stairs. 20 miles on a bike ride is my best so far! My Mom wanted to go on a ride so DH pulled DS2 & my niece in a trailer & we all went for a ride my Mom made it 5 miles then asked if she could stay w/ the kids at the park on the trail while we went on. We had to stop for some breathing & I found out if I went just 3 more miles I would have a round trip of 20 so we did it we turned around at 10 and rode the 10 back. I could have gone further but I was glad we didn't as we got close to the car I got a bad cramp in my thigh. So I am glad we stuck to the 20. And I was proud of my 20 miles. I went past hills before that I had to stop have an attack & then head back. The 3 mile hike was yesterday and my legs were still wobbly from my ride. By the time we got down to the beach my legs were shaking independently. Today my calves are super tight & hurt to stretch them out.
No treadmill yet but we did sell my elliptical & it will be picked up tomorrow then we will have room for a treadmill. My BFF, who we spent yesterday with, runs on a treadmill and is in good shape and she gave me some tips about getting one from craigslist. So now I am wondering if I should keep on looking longer for one on craigslist instead of dropping over $600 after tax for a new one.
It is now officially fall, the weather seems to agree w/ it all the 70 temps have dropped off the forecast and we are now staying in the 50's. Another reason I am glad I am getting my treadmill. I am not an outside person normally so you give me crappy weather & tell me to go run outside, NOT going to happen. LOL! With the official fall weather coming in I am getting the itch to knit. I spent hours on Ravelry.com yesterday looking up patterns I have a baby to knit for too for a shower that is at the end of next month. I am knitting the boys new beanies. Then I have to possible craft fair items I want to knit for a craft fair I am participating in in Dec. I had this whole last week off except for Friday and we got NOTHING done, besides our bike ride. I mean I had grand plans of accomplishing things but nope nothing. And now we are back to the week DH works. This will be his first week on his new regular hours so he has to leave the house by 3AM at the latest & I don't like the idea of being left at home while it is dark w/o my DH there to keep us safe. This will take some getting used to. I have a pretty quite house right now & I am finding my self eating to pass the time. I am hoping to make these evenings into knitting girl time. When DH has to be in bed by 7PM, DS2 by 8PM & DS1 by 9PM and after DS2 goes to bed it is pretty quiet I want to take advantage of this and watch old movies & knit. :-) Then maybe that will keep me from putting food in my mouth.
