Weigh-in, vacation and exercise!

I had my weigh-in last night and am neither up or down. There’s something comforting about remaining the same weight, especially considering that I didn’t track what I ate. I did (thanks Jennifer) exercise four times last week, and did my strength exercises when I got home last night.

I think I’m seeing a pattern. At the beginning of May, I was doing strength exercises every other day religiously, and cardio 3-4 times per week. For all of the weigh-ins since that, I have had a loss. Now, I haven’t done strength in I don’t know how long, and my weight stays even. I have a feeling that if I don’t get back on the exercising train better this week, and tracking my food, I will have a gain next week. And I am determined to not let that happen. I have been doing too well to let myself slip now.

As of 5 o’clock on Friday, I am on vacation. I am so looking forward to this, as it’s been a whole 4 months of a job that has lately been driving me crazy. We’re driving 5 ½ hours to the other side of the state to see my in-laws, who I love! We haven’t seen them since Christmas and this visit is long overdue. Not to mention that I desperately need a break, and some time to relax and breathe. I’ve already made my packing list, which includes my weights, exercise videos, and strength training list. And, since we’re going to be out of town until next Thursday, I already looked up locations of weight watchers meetings, so I don’t miss it. When our leader mentioned it last night, it sounded like something I wanted to know, so I’d really like to be there to hear about it.

Tonight I’m going to my water aerobics class, so here’s to day 2 of exercising.
