Monday, Monday, Can't Trust that Day

I didn't get to weigh myself today. It's kind of weird going through the day and I don't really know how good I have to be today.

I really really want to make my goal of 120 for Feb 1st. Last week for the first time in a long time, I felt like I could do this. I could get back to how my body should look and feel.

So, the BF had a guy's night on Saturday. I had to work so I got home and basically crashed. I was going to go out last night to dance, and just couldn't be bothered. After a day of cooking food for the week (oatmeal for breakfast, black beans for dinner) and doing dishes I felt gross and couldn't be bothered to hot-ify myself enough to go out.

I did pretty good with my goals. An hour of No More Trouble Zones burned almost 500 calories. Ate oatmeal for breakfast. A hard boiled egg for a snack, raisins for another snack, and two bean tacos for dinner. For less than 800 calories. I added a small piece of chocolate at the end of the night. I also made it through about 80 OZ of water : )

But, my BF really wanted me to come over. Since he's got interviews and interview prep all week and I work a couple nights, we wont' get to see each other again until Saturday. I didn't want to go because I work so far from home and his is even farther, plus I wanted to be able to do my morning workout. In the end though, I compromised. Since I wasn't going out dancing I wouldn't need to come home and pass out asleep. I gathered up my workout clothes, my dvd, and my clothes for work so I could do my morning workout at his place, get ready for work, then go home feed the cats and have breakfast.

My alarm was set for 5:30 this morning and before it could even go off I was awake at 5:10. I reset it for 5:40, but got up at 5:30 anyway. I realized the flaw of my great compromise. I couldn't weigh myself at my boyfriend's and I had forgotten my heart rate monitor so I wouldn't know how many calories I burned.

I had three options - do it anyway, go home where I could weigh myself and use my hrm, go back to sleep because it was a lost cause.

I did it anyway!! In the end I knew it was a waste of time to go home first. I had lugged all my stuff here and wasn't sure if the motivation would still be with me once I got home (after being in a cold car, feeding cats etc). Going back to sleep seemed like a tempting prospect, but I had already been up since before my alarm - so, obviously I wasn't tired. The scale thing bothered me, but I knew I could estimate the calories burned, and I thought, I could get an approximate weight at home if I had time.

So I put my 30 Day Shred dvd on level 1, muted the tv and got to work. The BF has a one bedroom apartment and I was afraid I'd wake him up, but he slept through my work out and me showering and getting dressed.

I may even hit the gym after work if I'm feeling up for a run.

And for anyone who now has "Monday Monday" stuck in their head you can listen to the whole thing to get it out of your head, and laugh at the fun clothes from the 60s.... here's the video
