Busy...Busy

Sometimes these are good words and not so good words.  The last couple of weeks have been busy with work but also socially.  And socially is what kills me.  Anyone who truly knows me.  Knows that I am a social butterfly.

To catch you all up a little.  I have not posted in 2 weeks.  Last weigh in I only lost .4 pounds.  But hey, a loss is a loss.  The scale was going in the right direction.  This week however.  Got me.  And that's ok too. I had 3 social functions.  And I enjoyed every one of them!!!!  So this week I gained 1.4 pounds.  And it didn't kill me.  lol.  I enjoyed myself and I gained.  And I am ok with it.  I was also high in SODIUM again!  That sodium sneaks into sooo many things.  Never a good thing before a weigh in.

But it's also about not continuing our bad habits.  We can splurge.  But we need to get back on track.  So I had 2 things against me last week. 3 FUN Social functions and I also was not as active last week.  That hurts as well.  So this coming week isn't just about getting back on track.  It's about doing a little more.  I was at it for 2 hours today and my body is screaming.  But that's ok.  I should sleep well tonight.  I need to do a little bit more this week.  2 reasons.  I need to get back my loss.  And I need to stay ahead.  My birthday party is this Saturday and I don't want to gain 2 weeks in a row.  And here's the thing.  I just may.  And if I do.  Then I need to just push myself that much more to get over the birthday festivities and move my buns.

Funny how a year ago, I would have a week of birthday celebrations.  But not this year.  ONEderland is so close and that is a priority.

I also have found a new place that I love and want to share with you.  It's a park here in Brampton that I have been going to the last few weeks.  It's in West Heart Lake at the top of Loafer's Lake.  What a great find!!!!!  You enter the park and there is a path that goes around.  Great path by the way for walking, jogging, biking, skate boarding or roller blading.  And then there are 5 different areas around the park with work out equipment.  I highly recommend this place.  And never very busy.  Of course till this post.  lol.  I may regret giving away my spot.  But I am sure you will all love it!!!!!

Also, in my last post I told you about a challenge that I hoped was going to help me get through the summer.  A step challenge with my cousin Val.  So far we are 1 a piece.  I won week 1.  She won week 2.  Week 3 is now under way.

To wrap it all up.  I am down a total 37.6 pounds.  And I can't wait for ONEderland.  It's ok to splurge. But it's more important to get back on track.

Till next week.  Be kind.

Cheers!
