Nov 08, 2009
Another Monday means another weekend come and gone. I had a good productive weekend, I suppose. I could have done more but was pretty darn active any way you stack it.
I received my second GoWearFit on Thursday from Amazon and got it charged and ready for wear. I started wearing it on Thursday night when I slept and got ready to "see" what it is all about on Friday. I cut out early on Friday from work because it was a beautiful day and came home to walk the dogs and spend some time with my DH before heading out to meet a girlfriend for pedis. All in all it was a nice, pleasant day.
Saturday we loaded the dogs and 4-wheelers up and headed to The Lake. We had some serioius chores to do at the weekend place and got many, but not all of them done. The tractor's battery had died and Opposums had made a nest under the hood. We spent some time cleaning that up and we'll have to go back and charge the battery later. I've got to shred the grass before winter sets in or it just becomes a fire hazard that I don't need. The grass is chest high in some spots and the dogs were "lost" in it. It was pretty cute. I made an interesting note to myself after we got home. I walked the entire property a couple of times with Scout in addition to all the other walking and doing, and wasn't exhausted. One year ago I would have not been able to do all the things I did like crawl under the RV, stand on the bucket of the tractor for 30 minutes holding the hood up so DH could scare off the 'possums, walk from the water to the gate TWICE just because the dog wanted to run ar ound a bit. I loved it. And when we got home I didn't piss and moan about unloading the trailer and getting everything put up. I even swept out the garage!
Sunday was World Run Day and DH and I committed to running so we did. I got Scout all geared up and we ran. We only pushed Scout one mile, but all in all, one mile without stopping is pretty monumental for me, too. To keep things in perspecitve, I look back one year. It gets boring, I know, but I've got to keep it real.
I'm still bouncing with these few pounds and it is becoming maddening. This morning I was back up to 183. I know I'm eating less that I'm moving but with the GoWearFit I am burning far fewer calories than I thought I was. My little ol' body is like a sloth, I guess, so I've got to work on getting my metabolism up to a reasonable level. A few days in and I'm seeing some trends and things I can do to get it going, I think. I'll wait unitl my first download to actually see the numbers, but it looks like I'm going to have to do my running in the mornings to make better use of the energy all day.
Here's my New Year's OH Mini Challenge Post for the week:
New Year's Goal: 170
November 1, 2009: 181

I don't know what exactly is going on but I don't like it one bit! i know I'm in a calorie deficit becaue I track my intake. Something crazy is going on!
