I have a confession to make. I weighed myself around February 9th or 10th and promptly lost the sheet of paper I wrote it all down on. I think my weight was 209 lbs at the time. I can't remember the rest of the numbers.
Then last week, I knew my period was immanent so I didn't bother weighing myself. It's just finishing off now, so I'll either weigh myself at the end of the week or next week.
Things have been a bit stressful for the last few weeks, mainly surrounding work. The short of it is that I'm going to have more time in the immediate future because I will be working less hours (I knew this might be coming but didn't know when). That's honestly not a bad thing right now, because then I can get caught up on all the things I need to....like sleep.
Thinking of sleep, this weekend was a bad one. My period started on Friday night and I had the worst cramps I've had in years! I am prone to cramps during my period, but have found that drinking raspberry tea really helps. It also helps to drink lots of water and eat healthier foods. Well, earlier that night I was eating Chinese food (which I don't normally do - it was a treat). That ended up a lesson learned! I'm going to have to be really careful about what I eat, particularly around when my period is going to start. The cramps started around when I was trying to get some sleep (I think that was 2am or so). I ended up having to get up at 4am and make myself raspberry tea. I took an Advil at the time, too, just in case. Between everything I was able to fall asleep around 5am, which was better than nothing, but it still made for me being tired all weekend.
On the activity front, I went swimming last week with my dad (as usual). But he brought his flippers, which was awesome! Having the flippers really propelled you through the water quickly, which was fun. But it also meant your thighs got a crazy good workout; apparently it takes a lot more muscle power to move through the water with flippers on! My dad and I are going swimming again tomorrow; I hope he brings the flippers again!
I also did a couple of excellent workouts with my mom over the last few weeks. Last night we tried Ellen Barrett's Skinny Sculpt, which uses light hand weights. I loved how the easy modification for that video was to not use the weights; I admit I had to drop them a few times, but overall I did better than I thought I would. Prior to that we tried Ellen Barrett's Yogini Workout, which was also really good. I've since ordered my own copy of the Yogini Workout and want to get Skinny Sculpt, too, because they were really good. I've got to really work on my arms though!!!!
So yeah, that's what's been going on for the last few weeks. Like I said, I'll get my weight updated soon on here.
