Weekend Whirlwind

This weekend was a total bust in terms of exercise.  I had a meeting all day on Saturday for triathlon stuff, but no actual exercise was involved.  If I had been smart, I would have packed workout clothes for after the meeting, as it was held in a YMCA, but I am stupid.  Sunday did consist of a little cleaning and a little romping in the back yard with the dogs, but nothing I'd count as exercise.

Last week was more or less awful in terms of my eating, and the scale was up a whopping THREE pounds on Saturday.  I will probably jump on the scale mid-weeks to see if some of this was just bloating, as I felt really off on Saturday with an upset stomach, lots of heartburn and oh, my boobs have been sore and I've felt lightheaded off and on over the last few days, so uh, um, gee, I hope I'm not pregnant.  Not that it would be a catastrophe, but since I've made it this far in life without getting pregnant, I'd like to do it the fun way and have it happen on purpose if we ever decide to go down that road.  We are still very undecided, in case you are wondering.  I've often said an accident might be the only way for us to pull the trigger.  We both love our lives kind of the way they are right now.  Also, I'm greedy and the thought of my shoe fund turning into daycare money is kind of a turn-off.  But alas, I am turning 34 this month, so we don't have tons of years left to think about it.  Anyway, I don't mean for this post to talk about the pros and cons of me having a baby. 

My lunch was not healthy today, but it is logged in My Fitness Pal, and dinner should be reasonable so that I can still get a calorie deficit if I hit the gym hard.  Tonight is kickboxing and if it mirrors last Thursday's class in terms of choreography, it was one of the hardest ones I've done in a while.  I was sore in lots of odd places on Saturday morning when I woke up.  I am working 7:30-3:30 all this week, and so I'm looking forward of maybe hitting the gym right after work for at least 2-3 of those days to get my workout in before the after work crowd gets there.  I'm hoping this will work out that way tomorrow, as I want to run on the treadmill and do some strength training.  I downloaded a free strength training app for my iPhone by GAIN called Cross Trainer.  It seems like it's going to be really handy, as it builds a plan for you based on your goals and what days you want to work out, and even has little videos to show you how to complete the exercises.  If you need to strength train at home or on the go, you can tell the app and it will amend your workout to suit the environment.  That's all I know so far, as it's been on my phone for 2 weeks and I have yet to use it.

I have a ton of errands to do this week, so hopefully some early gym times will happen, as well as some extra time to plan and prepare with working fewer hours.
