Day 3: Every little bit counts

Day 3: Weigh-in 179.8

So it's not much, just point-two pounds, but the little thrill I get from seeing 1-7-9 as opposed to 1-8-0 is more than satisfying. It's a whole new set of ten!

Yesterday, we did end up taking our little walk out in the big field, but it became more of a resistance exercise than a hike. Normally, I drive out there, let the dogs out of their crates and they are free to run for the duration of the entire visit. Well just my luck there are two cops in the parking lot, sitting in their cars, eating donuts. Now I've never seen a sign out there saying dogs have to be on leashes, but I wasn't taking that chance. So I have my kiddo on my back, one dog's leash in my hand, and one dog's waist leash (it wraps around my waist for hands free walking) buckled securely around the backpack. I now know what a dog sled feels like.

After that workout in the beautiful weather (almost 60 degrees!) I was more than ready for my sister-in-laws delicious lasagna. I broke my rule about not having second helpings last night. I had a mini ice cream cone for desert last night too, which may be the reason for only a .2 loss... but I still met my calorie goals and got my exercise in, so I think I deserved it.

Today is more of the same with my cold. I woke up with difficulty breathing I was so stuffed up. After all the cough syrup I had I was just going to give up and stick with Advil for the headache, but in my search of the medicine cabinet I found a prescription bottle of pseudoephedrine left from my ear aches last year. I'm already feeling better! Not good enough for the gym mind you, but good enough clean up a little.

I ate lots of yogurt and fruit this morning, and lunch was LC pizza. I've been trying to drink more water, I have a bottle next to me now, but I can't stress how much I really dislike drinking water. Especially cold water. Maybe that's weird, but unless I'm working out I hate cold water. If I drink it, I pull a warm bottle out of the pantry and open it right there. Is anyone else like that?

I hope I feel human enough to go to the gym tomorrow, I really don't want to deal with the Y's weekend childwatch hours.
