Ya Can't Keep A Good Dog Down

Tuesday, poor Megan was struck down by the migraine gods and couldn't go gymming with me. I had an out on the first day of my 30-Day Habit Building Thingy.

While the part of me that woke up at 4:45am and resented existance wanted to crawl back into bed, the part of me that worries about some unknown accountability fairy coming to my blog and being very disappointed was much more annoying.  I bothered Mr. Husband until he was perpendicular and forced him to go for a brisk walk with me.

On Tuesday, I also downloaded and started using the MyFitnessPal app. Where has that thing been all my life? UPC scanning instead of entering in nutrition facts? SHUT. UP. I've been begging for that function in the BodyBugg app for ever!  It is so easy... I really have no excuse not to keep a food/exercise log. I haven't experienced the social side of it as I'm currently friendless HINT HINT so I can't speak to its merits or pitfalls. 



Yesterday our family received troubling news that there may be changes on the horizon that will impact our finances tremendously.  My wallowy butthurt heart wanted to eat ice cream and hang out on the couch all day. Instead, I went to the gym with Megan (those migraine gods started bothering someone else, I'm sure) for a super-awesome cardio session, signed up for overtime at work and made my favorite healthy breakfast!

I think my scale saw that I was in need of positive reinforcement and let me know that I'm down 6.8 pounds since I jumped back on the bandwagon! That means I'm down 22.6lbs from my heaviest! I celebrated my willpower and weight-loss victories with a Subway Veggie Delight sammich.
