*insert witty title*

I had my appointment on Friday of last week, and am feeling a little less hopeful.  I was praying that I would go in, he'd quickly see an issue, and be like 'here's the plan of attack' and move on.  Not quite the case.  I'm not a patient person, and this is pushing me to the furthest I can possibly go. This is pretty much a summary of everything I haven't blogged about because I've been in the 'blah' mood that keeps me away.

Mr. Fertility Doctor Recap:
Office was running behind. I'm OK with this - they are specialists and frankly emergencies happen. But I expect the same attention when I need it, so I will remember that. Procedure was easy enough, nothing too dramatic, but (tmi warning) that saline does come out quickly! phew. He told me he was looking for abnormalities and then there were a few 'oh ok, this is what we're looking for', 'oh, interesting' comments.  Then he proceeded to explain he believes I have a polyp or two, so once he looks at the pictures further, I suppose those will be addressed as well. All in all - I know nothing other than he found a few abnormalities and polyps.  I have another appointment next Tuesday. Hopefully I'll at least learn something new.  I'm getting frustrated and just need to know what the deal is.  But I know everything takes time.

My legs ache.  I'm doing everything I can to stay on track with the weight watcher's walk it challenge, but it's not happening. I did successfully finish Week 2 though :)  I should be starting week three, and I'm not there.  My shin splints are awful.  I'm working on a goal to be active for 7 days straight.  That starts today. So we'll see when I get home what I do.  Yoga counts, doesn't it? :)

My last weigh in put me down about 1.5lbs. Which was OK because I had gained a little.  So hopefully this is on the positive track back down :)

My spring break starts Friday, and I couldn't possibly be more excited.  Really.  This is the highlight of my week ;)

Weekly Weigh-in

Well since I'm holding myself accountable, even if I wanted to skip this week - I knew I shouldn't.

So here I am, two weeks now without an official weigh in, and I've gained from last week. About 1.5.  I suppose that's 'good' in comparison to what I was weighing last week, but it reminds me that I'm still not working at it as hard as I should be.  And I know that.  Like 20/30 min trips on the treadmill won't get me there.  And the snacking I had in the beginning of the week was killer.

Here's my daily mile activity for this week:

It's not bad, but it's not great.  I would like to see more 2's and 3's, but at least I got the activity in. I will be start week 2 of the WW challenge this evening so I'll have some there.

No Weigh In, Day 5 Walk it Challenge

I've decided to skip my weigh-in today and aim for Sunday.  Why you ask? Because when AF is here, I'm not letting her ruin my motivation. So I don't want to get on the scale and see the bloat.  I am considering changing my WI day to Sunday as it is.  I feel like that's a more convenient time. But we'll see.

So for today - skipping the weigh in! :)

However, in better news, I am on day 5 of the WW Walk it Challenge.

Yesterday was a 'rest' day, so rather than jog, hubs and I went for a walk in a nearby park.  Two laps around it and then headed off to dinner. I probably could have done two more, and gotten in 3 miles, but he always makes it easy to quit. He doesn't push me, I wish he did. Times like that are exactly why we don't work out together. 

Todays routine is to Run  2min   Walk 3min  for a total of 4 x

I plan on doing this tonight, before Yoga. I will NOT be stretching as hard as I did last time, because I've been suffering all week.  I don't plan on slacking, but there's one pose towards the end that I know I need to lay off a little bit.

 

Stuck, but at least I know why

I am going away tonight for an overnight retreat and won't get the opportunity to weigh myself tomorrow on my official weigh in day (and no, I'm not that obsessive that I'm taking my scale with me).  So I got on today, and will get back on Friday morning and just take the average, but I didn't lose anything based on today's reading.  And while it frustrates me, I didn't gain either - which is good.  I have followed the program and my points, but the big difference this week is that I didn't work out really.

Looking at my Daily Mile logs:

Goodbye first 10!

Saying goodbye is usually hard, but not today! I am officially over my first 10lbs lost since starting this journey three weeks ago.  Incorporating WeightWatchers as well as aiming for getting in no less than a mile of walking/jogging at least 5days a week.  I'm pretty proud of myself.  This takes me about 6lbs away from the lowest weight I had been back in August (when I took this).  I gained about 8lbs with pregnancy #2.  Some was during the early pregnancy because I instantly stopped going to boot camp and then about bout of weight crept on due to depression - so it's almost all gone now.  That's something to be pleased with (at least for me). So 10 more pounds and I'll be lower than any weight I've been since living in Akron. Yay!
