The good news -- Hit the gym today. Did 20 min on the bike (which I HATE) and 45 min on the treadmill. Also did some upper body weights in an effort to get rid of my "bat wings" and some crunches on the work-out ball. I like the extra range of motion I get when I use the ball and it is much easier on my back. I wouldn't have gone today if I didn't have an actually PT appointment, but as usual - I am glad I did.
The not so good news -- An older gentleman in our church passed away. Not really sad, he had Alzheimers and was in his late 70's or so. This is, I am on the hospitality committee that supplies desserts for chuch functions. That means 2 of my special homemade peanut butter pies for the funeral. I would like to say that I got through it without licking the spoon, but that would be a lie. All it all it wasn't THAT bad really (peanut butter, cream cheese, whipped cream and a smidge of powdered sugar). Bad enough, I know. Day one of 100% compliance starts again tomorrow for me.
The ugly -- I think that the scale at PT is out to get me. How is it that 250 plus 0 does not weigh the same as 200 plus 50? I had said my micro-mini goal was to get to where I didn't have to move the large slider thing on the scale to the 250 mark. Well yesterday I had to put it on the 250 mark, but the little slider was just slightly above the 0. Today, when I put it on 200 and the little one on 50 it was under, but if I moved it the other way and put it on 250 and the little one on 0 it was just right. UGH!
