Tuesday accountability
xcaly, I miss you being up before me! 
Morning everyone!
Just finished day six of level three and it's going much better, woot! Hoping I can convince myself to do plyo tonight, since I could use the second workout and I'm still not doing as well as I'd like on the three plyo moves in level three. However, given the ridiculously warm and muggy forecast, the odds are against me doing it in our already stuffy apartment. (We have garages under our second floors in this building and the ones next to us - great for working out in the AM since I won't wake people below us, but there is so much heat that gets trapped in here in the summer.)
Food should be good today, though I will have a chocolate chip cookie tonight. I made them for H last night for a pick me up bc he was so annoyed after the drama, and I only ate ONE, yay!
Scale is also back down a 1/2 lb, I am beyond hoping that this is the beginning of TDEE kicking in after the adjustment period, but only time will tell!
Have a great day everyone!

Re: Tuesday accountability
We miss you too! Glad to hear that you're enjoying nature, too bad that your H can't be there too...
We had a fabulous weekend weather-wise, but are now looking at a week of rain. Boo! I was just starting to have fun playing outside again!
Good luck on the follow up, kwith! I hope you get the job!
Yesterday was good for me. I got a brief afternoon walk (we had to stay close to the building because there were scattered thunderstorms. Thankfully we got our walk done between two bouts of rain), then after work the weather cleared up and I had my first softball practice in 15 years! I didn't realize how much I missed it.
My arm hurts today from throwing the ball around. I didn't think It'd hurt that bad because I throw disk's all the time.
Food ended up being under yesterday, but after my disastrous weekend eating I needed that.
Hello all and Happy Tuesday. Today is my Thursday - I took off Thursday & Friday this week to get ready for the wedding. I still feel like there's a million things to do in the next 4 days! Eeek!
Yesterday I ate well- we had grilled chicken and broccoli for dinner which was really good and low-calorie. And we took a walk around the neighborhood with our dog. A pretty good night, I thought!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
@Lobsters - congrats on the 1/2 lb! That's awesome. @kwith - congrats on the interview! I hope it turns out well for you. @ftl - Washington sounds amazing. I keep waiting for good weather here to go hiking, but I'm better that the hiking in Washington is much better than we have in Maryland.
Yesterday was a total bust for me. I was in a terrible mood and came home, cleaned, went to the grocery store and made dinner at 10 PM. So food was waaaay over (I shouldn't have made cupcakes....) and I didn't exercise at all. I feel icky and the scale is up a pound :-( Oh well, today will be better! After work, I'm planning on doing some yoga.
Yesterday I only managed to run 9 of my planned 12 miles. I am so disappointed in myself. I keep reminding myself that the half marathon will be run at 8 in the morning instead of 5 at night and that there is no way that it is going to be 90+ degrees that early in the morning. It was so hot that I just could not keep running. The first 6 miles were manageable, but it went downhill quickly after that. This awful run has me worried that I won't be able to finish my half on June 2nd.
We ordered pizza for dinner. I just had 1 piece and 2 small breadsticks. With the run, I was under on calories. The scale was down half a pound this morning, but I am not sure that it will last.
kwith & jenny - good luck on the interviews! You guys will rock them, I am sure.
ftl - good to hear from you again, and you are ker-azy for being awake at 4:30.
andrea - oooh you should post pictures of your new rings when you get them!!
Long weekends are... awesome. However, this one left me a bit sore. My parents have house renos starting today (new floors on the entire main floor, counters and backsplash) - so FI and I spent several hours on Saturday ripping up old carpet and pulling out every last staple that was left in the floor - which included the staples from the previous carpet as well. That was a lot of time spent bent over with a crowbar! I filled most of my weekend other than that with searching for and purchasing cheap furniture off of kijiji for my brother and his expecting fiancee who have no furniture and are moving here in a month. Then yesterday we went golfing - which of course I did poorly, but it was fun. However, food yesterday was awful. I was left just feeling like crap as I laid in bed last night. Today will be much better!
I started the morning off with JM's Ripped in 30 - the last day of week 1 for me. I am nervous to do Week 2 tomorrow!!
Have a good day everyone!
Yesterday wasn't too bad. As I said, no formal work out, just the exercise I involuntarily do at work lol. Today I only walked to work, as I had to take a cab home. Fi wanted me to pick up kitty litter and kitty food, so I had to take the cab.
I am off early so I might head to the gym this evening.
On second thought... I might actually head to the gym now, so I can be done my workout by the time fi gets off work.
We ate...we drank..we ate..we drank. I'm sure you get the picture! Finally got back late sunday and was up at 5 am Monday morning for summer. I teach Mon-Thurs on campus for four hours each day and then am busy doing lab work till around 5 at night. Days are long but it is money.
Food the past couple days has been good as I obviously have to get my ass back on track. Today was my first workout (4 miles), not sure what tomorrow will bring workout wise. I have to rethink when I'm going to spin/workout classes because some of my favorites conflict with teaching.
Happy to be back
