I plead idiocy on the croissan'wich thing this morning. I was on the run, in a hurry. I've discovered in the last couple weeks that those weight-smart vitamins make me queasy if I don't take them with food, and I didn't eat breakfast before I left. Then I stopped at Burger King for coffee, and well....the rest is history. 14 frickin' points! Actually, more like 15, but I'm rounding down. Yikes. Never again.
I've had a bit of a busy week. Two problems at work went totally political this week, so I've been running around trying to CYA as much as possible. Not to mention one person there whom I hate with at white hot passion that I get to spend a whole lot of quality time with lately. Definitely not doing anything for my stress level. I'll be sooo glad when the weekend gets here.
There's a bit of good news, though, too. I'm happy to report that not only have Robert and I gotten back together, but we've gotten re-engaged! I'm not really sure how it happened, but I'm glad it did. It took a lot of soul-searching on both our parts, and a lot of adjusted expectations. The current plan is to get married sometime next spring. I can't really make myself trust it yet, because we've been down this road before. I'll feel better once the vows are spoken and the license is signed. My life has become truly interesting in the last week or so.
I'm hoping for a good weigh in this week, but I'm thinking it's probably going to be underwhelming. For one thing, I'm going to the meeting on a Thursday night instead of Saturday morning, which always throws a wrench into things. We're driving Noah up to his Mimi's house on Friday night, and she lives about 2 hours away. We'll be staying up there, so WW is out of the question for Saturday morning. I think I'll just go weigh in tomorrow and then leave. I haven't been in the mood to sit through a meeting for a couple weeks now. After a while, all the meetings start sounding the same, and most of them are pretty frickin' annoying. Unless I make a milestone, I'd rather just get on with my life. I do like to stay for the meeting every once in a while, though, when I need a pick-me-up, group therapy kind of motivation.
I think I may have a good exercise week, though...I bought a standing pump for my bike tires, and that seems to motivate me to get out there on it. I know that doesn't sound like a cause/effect, but my tires have a random deflation problem. Before I had one of those little portable hand pumps that pump like 1 psi/pump, and it was a pain to get them from 20 to 60 before I hit the streets. Now I can pump up both tires in less than 5 minutes and be on my way. What I really should do is go put new tubes in, but I've never been one to do the most logical thing first. Not me...no sir.
I am enjoying the bike ride in the morning. I finally got my bike computer working correctly, so that I know how to change screens and stuff. I can see how many miles I've gone now, instead of making an educated guess. My guesses were pretty close to correct, but it's nice to know how far I'm actually going. I did three laps around the walking route today, which came out just under 9 miles. I think tomorrow I'll do four laps. The traffic is light on that route, and I don't have to cross any major roads. Biking doesn't make my knees sore, either, which is an added bonus.
I really need to start getting back into the resistance training again, too. I've been really slacking on that, and it's starting to show. If I don't get back into it soon, I'll have to work my way in slowly again.
Wow...I'm boring myself now. Sorry about that. I'm going to bed. :)
