Well, it’s weigh in time again…
Don’t know how to punctuate that title yet. I’m hoping to use an exclamation point, but I suspect it’ll be a sad emoticon instead.
I weigh in right before lunch, so I haven’t stepped on the scale yet, but I know it won’t be good: I had two small brownies at the dept meeting on Wednesday & I really haven’t been exercising much at all: just the 5K program (and only 2x this week so far) and walks with the dog & one additional mile on the treadmill.
I’m not sure what happened this week. On the one hand, it’s final’s week so I’m up to my flabby armpits in papers to grade & meetings to attend (5 on Wednesday alone & one of my colleagues wanted to make it an even 6 before we convinced her next week was better).
But on the other hand, I did have time to exercise…hell, I have a treadmill right here & there’s nothing to stop me from stepping outside or putting in a workout video. But I felt sick and tired & that seemed like the perfect excuse to slack off.
As an added bonus <sarcasm>and isn’t it always!</sarcasm>it’s TOM, so I find myself afraid, once again, to step on the scale this week. What I need to do is have such a great week next week that I can’t wait to step on the scale. In fact, I’ll need that motivation quite a bit as I’m going on a very quick business trip to Denver on Friday (getting back late Sunday) & I’ll be sitting on my butt the whole time, probably unable to run because of the altitude, and eating a menu the event planners chose for me.
So it’s settled…next week I crank it up & make the numbers really move on that damn scale. For now, it’s time to run & then grade. I’ll post the dreaded weight this afternoon.
Well, the world won’t end if you skip a week of weighing. Wouldn’t it be better to ramp it up and really look froward to next week’s weigh in without carrying the dreaded numbers of this week along?
Either way, good luck.
