I was absolutely exhausted when I woke up this morning. Sore everywhere! It took me a good 15 minutes to even get out of bed, haha. And I was in no mood to cook, so I had some cereal and a banana.
I have been awfully moody lately, and I think it's PMS. But it really got me in a funk today at the gym. I felt really frumpy and bloated and gross, and that aways affects my workouts. I did 30 min on the elliptical, then chest and triceps, and abs. I was really gassy too, which is the worst thing ever when you're trying to work out! I think it was the kefir. I'm lactose intolerant :(
I weighed 193 this morning, so that's a relief. I don't know what I did to get that jump in weight, but hopefully things will progress 'down' now. It will be a big deal for me when I get into the 180s again! Tomorrow I am getting my measurements taken after a few months, so I'm hoping they'll be good news!
The husband and I are debating driving down to see his family this weekend, but that's a whole mess of tricky eating business. I feel confident that I could do it, but am I ready to challenge myself? I will have to cook and prepare everything for myself, because even when they cook, its definitely not clean. But it WOULD be good to see his family again. And I can do my Zumba there. Decisions, decisions .....
