Up, Up and Away

The scale is up today. But it is my own damn fault.

Even though I did exercise - I ran on Friday, went to Ballet on Saturday (my legs were killing me after!) and did a Cross Fit ladder workout (2 pullups, 4 pushups, 6 squats repeated for 15 min) with the BF on Sunday- it was also a weekend of over indulgence particularly drinking.

I met the BF on Friday for a couple of drinks with some of his friends. I only had 2 drinks and was pretty tipsy. Then Saturday his ex-neighbor (the one I hate) was back in town. Though thankfully she isn't talking about moving here any more. At least not for awhile. Plus she brought her boyfriend. Though that is a train wreck of a relationship. I was really nice to her this time and chatted to her about her job and moving plans and this guy she's with. And while based on that brief conversation it doesn't sound like the best relationship for her, I can't help but be glad that is one big reason for her to stay living where she is. I really don't need her trying to occupy any more of his time than she already tries to. While out then I did have a cocktail and most of a lite beer. I wasn't going to eat, but gave in and had a salad.  Then Sunday the BF and had breakfast out, snacked in the afternoon, and for dinner ordered in Italian and shared a bottle of wine.  I mostly had salad for dinner, and ordered a smaller sandwich at breakfast, but probably ate way too much cheese all day long.

I looked nothing like this considering I was
wheezing and whining and using a chair to help.

Today though, I am back to my pre-weekend weight. Still too high, but at least I didn't ruin it on Monday. I thought I might have. My arms were so sore from attempting to do pull ups with the BF that it was hard to get motivated to workout. I also ran errands after work instead of going home for lunch so I was ravenous and ended up eating more than necessary. I did manage to stop early enough in the evening though, and then started watching Secret Eaters on Youtube.  I found a 20 minute kickboxing video that I did hoping that the cardio would get the lactic acid out of my arms, plus my legs were feeling fine so I figured the squats and kicks would be good for me.

My arms are still really sore today. It's hard to pull my shirts on and over my head. I think it's going to be, nap, Zombies, Run!, and then lunch after I get home from work.  I should probably work on a job application too. Since I am hating being here at the moment and I am not looking forward to things picking up next week. Right now it's super quiet, but that won't last. I've already got a presentation scheduled for 2/6 I don't want to do, and an evaluation some time soon.  On the one hand I don't want to be here. But on the other, I can't seem to motivate myself to write any stupid cover letters.
