Son Of A... Pup!

Well, I have no one to blame but myself! Last night I went to a house warming party with tons of food and I didnt choose wisely. Plus, we haven't been eating as many vegetables and have been having "quick" fixes for meals lately because it seems we're always on the go. However, this always adds up to no good... and by "no good," I mean a pound, which is what I gained this week! UGH!!!! Of course this means I didn't reach my goal of a 30 lb loss... for the second week in a row! What makes it worse; it should have been fairly easy (2.2 lbs to lose), especially in two weeks! UGH!!! Frankly, I'm disgusted, and if I could, I'd kick myself right in the arse! 

I'd like to think it's muscle, but I don't think so this week. We did go to aqua fit class on Tuesday night, and did I ever work by butt off (instructor said about 4000 steps in 45 minutes), but that was really all the exercise I got in this week. Well, except part of my morning routine in the bathroom is taking my Hubby's can of shaving foam and using it as a weight to try and get rid of some of my bingo wings. I should probably switch to actual weights... I have a feeling the shaving foam is a little too light to be effective. :)

Tip for aqua fit class: Make sure you're wearing a one-piece bathing suit, or at least a bathing suit that fits snuggly with no flowing parts. I have a two-piece and I spent as much time trying to keep my bottoms up and my top down as I did exercising! I felt bad for the instructor; she had an above pool view... YIKES!

So today my Hubby and I went through totes of clothing that had been too small and packed away. Although I didn't rub it in (until now when he reads this...), I was right by not throwing all of my smaller clothing away as I grew in size. Ahhhh, I love being right! ;) 

So there I was today, going through these totes and making a massive pile of clothing I think will now fit me. Then I started trying stuff on, and I don't know what I was thinking, I must have been on glue! It was very disappointing to put quite a bit of the clothing back into a tote (not all of it, but most of it). However, that tote is now marked as, "close"... :)

Speaking of "close", I thought it was going to be a close race this week for the end of the month weigh-in between me and my better half. However, I am happy to say I ran away with the money... GO ME! I lost 5.6 lbs this month in total and he didn't do as well. I think there will be more veggies in our future... Except for maybe this week coming because we are on vacation. I'm still going to try and make smart decisions but it IS a vacation after all.

Stay tuned to see if, or how much, my vacation affects my weigh-in next Sunday. Maybe I will be extra active and will actually lose weight...  Have I mentioned I'm a dreamer? :)
