Fun at the gym
Posted by gottahavefaith on April 9th, 2008
Exciting news: the husband went to the gym with me on Monday! The husband has never been a gym person…he did sports in high school and used to bike everywhere he went. Unfortunately, he’s not doing sports anymore and we live on a busy street with crazy traffic (not the best for biking). Despite his deep bias against the gym, he agreed to work out with me. We had a great time. He is going to give a try at being my workout buddy for a little while! I am very happy about this, because I am always more consistent when I have a buddy with me. Even if we’re doing totally different things, I work longer and harder when I have a friend with me. I am still sore! We are going again today…yay!
Foodwise…this is one of those weeks where I know that I just need to ignore the scale. I am getting back on track with eating clean. I ate very well yesterday…I just need to continue to up my vegetable intake. I’m drinking tons and tons of water and I’m working out. Yet the scale seems insistent that I am gaining a pound every day. I know that this can’t possibly be fat…I blame monthly water retention. It is still frustrating.
I am doing my best to stay on track regardless of my frustration. I made myself a healthy breakfast and a healthy sack lunch, and I have an easy dinner all planned out. I’ll write a post about my dinner later. It is incredibly fast and tasty. I don’t think it takes more than 10-15 minutes to make the entire thing. (Another Food Network victory!)
