Saturday was the beach day, as it turns out I didn't need to go swimming in my swimsuit because we'd already been practicing in the water in our full uniforms! It was so nice, even though the temperature was high there was a fantastic breeze and the water was cool and refreshing. I'm glad I don't have my dreadlocks anymore or they would have weighed 40 pounds wet!
I did get a sunburn along my scalp and a tiny bit on my nose and chest, but my tattoo was safe, thank goodness!
Unless otherwise mentioned, beverage was either water or coffee. ;)

Today my back is really bothering me. I think I pushed myself too hard in class last night after two days of poor posture. I've got a heating pad with moisture on it, will be taking Midol for the muscles and I have an acupuncture appointment after work. Unfortunately it's my last appointment because it's just too expensive to continue. Hopefully today's pain is just a reminder that I need to be careful and not an indicator that I'm in serious trouble. I may skip tomorrow's class to be sure, but I'd rather not if I can avoid it - I started learning my next sequence form last night and I don't want to practice too much on my own and end up developing bad habits.
I weighed myself a couple more times since that dressed morning with the 6lb gain. I was up about 4 pounds. It's the little indiscretions, I tell you! I thought I'd done really well but I guess I was messing up somewhere, probably eating fast food too much, but it was a busy week. But over the next couple of days 3 of those pounds dropped off, so it's looking up.
Our nephew left this week to return to my brother and his family, so things should return to normal and hopefully that means better focus for a return to losing.
Great job on breaking your board- that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteIn regards to the weight gain, I've noticed that the little things definitely add up for me quickly and show up on the scale huge like that too. I have to watch those things, or be OK with those gains. *sigh* at least they come off when the focus returns.
Yeah good job on the test. And dread lock?? Post a picture so we can see what you look like..
ReplyDeleteI did notice that you don't real eat enough veggies - maybe that would help if you tried to add some more.
You are doing really great so don't worry about the couple of lbs.
Have a nice day :-)
