Workout: 6 miles on the treadmill
Pace: 6.0/10:00
Run went well. I read my book again, but really focused on running continually and turning the pages while running, rather than taking a quick step-off to turn the page. I did well until the end when I was getting tired - wasn't stepping off for every page turn, but was stepping off more frequently just to catch my breath. I could feel my body was tired.
Thursday Dave and I got up and went for a walk with the dog in the morning before the girls work up. It was nice. The weather was beautiful and it was nice to go together.
Friday I went to the gym for the first time in many months and did the eliptical for 30:00. Not a fan, but wasn't in the mood to do a dvd or to run.
I've been looking for a new gym or a way to add in some lap swimming. Unfortunately, to join a gym with a pool would increase our monthly payment by $90-$100/month and I'm not ready to commit to that. I think I'm going to join our high school's wellness center which is an annual membership of $125 for one person and is much more do-able. The drawback is that it is 15 minutes away and its a sterile high school environment... these other gyms have nice, beautiful, comfortable locker rooms (mine doesn't, these other more expensive gyms) and they're extremely appealing to me :) But while things have been better, financially, neither of us are comfortable adding that much additional monthly payment to our budget. So I'm going to join the high school - I can't wait to swim laps!
Weight watchers went fine all week. I basically hate everything about it. I hate being hungry. I hate not being able to eat normal food - I get 29 points/day. A salad at corner bakery is 21 points. So essentially, I can't ever go out for dinner and that ticks me off. I said screw it last night and we went out for dinner and shared a bottle of wine, a cheese plate, some calamari and each had a cup of french onion soup & a dessert. Sometimes I think I'd rather just be fat.
