Day 12: Weigh-in 176.4
So this marks the first time I've woken up at the same weight as the day before. I'm going to count this as a success considering my wonderfully caloric dinner last night. Mmmm. BBQ wings. I would probably also attribute it to my workout yesterday (I can feel the buns of steel forming) and the extra water I've been drinking.
Today turned out to be a pretty busy day for me. I woke up this morning a little late and had a shake on the way to sign my final tax forms while the kiddo chewed on an Eggo waffle in the back seat. We spent an hour there because they couldn't get the forms to print up. I had brought the dogs along because I planned to go for a hike when we were done. We did make it to the park eventually and the dogs had a great time chasing the toy I would throw for them. Gauge didn't like to bring it all the way back to me though, so I spent a lot of time chasing the toy down myself. Since the pups were off on their own and not pulling me like a sled, I figured I should do something to get my pulse going, so I decided to jog a little. Now let me just say that jogging in hilly, grassy, muddy terrain probably isn't that easy to begin with... and I was doing it with 35 lbs of kid and pack on my back (at least I had the shoes for it). The little one found it entertaining though. I made it about a quarter mile before having to stop, but I felt pretty good about it.
After we left the park, I headed to a few local dealerships to check out a few SUV's we've been looking at. I got a bit of unexpected exercise while we were there. Most of the lot was inaccessible by car, and I didn't have a stroller so I ended up toting the kiddo around. 23 lbs of wiggle worm on your hip can get pretty heavy after a while. The funny thing is that as I'm typing this, I remembered that I had a backpack in the bed of the truck I could have put her in. Oh well, its done with now.
In the midst of all the running around, I lost track of time and ended up needing to stop for lunch. I didn't want to go inside anywhere at this point, so places like Subway were out. I ended up having to do the Wendy's drive through and I got the first fast food value meal I've had since I got back from PA for the holidays. I had a chicken sandwich with all the mayo wiped off. Since lunch was so late, I just had a small dinner of chicken and rice in a bowl.
Oh and on a side note, I have over 100 views to my blog. Thanks everyone for reading and following along!
