We got up kind of early (for a Sunday anyway) and my hunny made us a delicious breakfast (breakfree egg scramble with turkey sausage). We spent the morning doing our various chores, I cleaned up the washroom and did dishes, he cleaned the fish tank out. By noon, we were all done. I spent 30 minutes soaking in our spa tub. I still can't get used to having one of them in the house, it had been about 3 weeks since I'd been in it. After I crawled out (literally, I was as weak as a wet noodle), I was just exhausted. I'd relaxed myself into a coma. My hunny took a shower to clean off all of the fish tank grime and we sat down to discuss our plans for the afternoon. We couldn't decide whether we'd go to the casino or to the pictures. Somehow, we ended up falling asleep talking about it and the next thing I knew, 3 hours had passed by. The sleep felt really good but it sort of messed me up last night. I was very tired by 10 when we went to bed but it took me a while to fall asleep. When I finally did fall asleep, I had really vivid dreams all night. It was weird.
Weekend eating was okay. Between all of the sleeping and the not feeling great, I didn't have a lot of spare time to snack with. I'm still french-fry-free and have no desire to break that. No chips were consumed over the weekend either. Again though, I gave into my sweet tooth and some cookies were purchased and consumed.
My goal for this morning was to ride the bike. I'd missed Friday's session because of the cold. When I woke up, I lay in bed for a while, considering my options. My hunny went off to work and I decided that instead of the bike, I'd do a chore I'd been putting off, I scrubbed the kitchen floor. By the time I was done, I'm sure I'd worked longer and burned more calories that I would have on the bike. It was so nice, after my shower, to walk across a clean kitchen floor. It's one of those jobs I hate doing and just put off as long as possible. I'm thinking that I may put it on my schedule and do it early in the morning (like this morning) once a week on a day I'm not riding. I'm still going to ride 3 days this week and next week... but in between, I'm going to plan some chore I don't like to do. Goodness knows that housework can make you sweat!
I'm going to try to get back to doing this regularly again, so here is my latest weekly wrap-up:
summary - week ending August 21
- Slowly got back into exercising again, actually rode my recumbent 2 days last week.
- I took my vitamins 5 out of 7 days this week
- exceeded daily water intake goal 7 out of 7 days
- in my cleaning frenzy, I forgot to weigh in this morning. Given how close I am to TOM's arrival, I'm not expecting much
