180.8 lbs. First ten pounds can suck it!!! That combined with some kickass progressive trance serving as soundtrack to this update puts me in a serious dance zone. That reminds me, who wants to rave with me (and Ilan Bluestone) at the Blues Fest this year???
I'll be honest, that number surprised me this morning. I didn't think I was going to see a drop. Hell, I was afraid I'd see a gain. I'm not going to analyse the stats, I'll take it and say "Thank you". The reason why I'm surprised is I had a completely hectic week (if you followed my update last week you know why) where I could only squeeze in a spin class on Wednesday. That was the only gym workout last week. The rest was the usual running after kids. Well and a whole lot of gardening happened this weekend. Sunday was no brakes from about 7am until I crashed out at around 11pm. The backyard is looking grand though, so totally worth the effort. Plus I can't complain about the chance to soak up some beautiful sunshine and fresh air. I think this week will serve as another lesson of what happens when I eat clean but maybe don't go so hard with workouts. I knew food was more important than exercise (still important though) but now I have proof. Wait, I said I wasn't going to analyse this didn't I? Ok, I'll stop.
Food highlights this weekend. Grilled sea bream cooked up on coals with cumin, garlic and lemon juice. Need I say more? I'll take that with my spinach salad A-NY-DAY!!! Oh and to celebrate our friends' recent engagement (and for that reason only!!!) I indulged in Crème brûlée and a glass of wine from Eighteen. It was....I don't have a word, let's just say I enjoyed it. There was also an opportunity to follow that up with strawberry mouse cake.....I am proud to say....I did no such thing! Congrats to Ali and beautiful Teresa!!!
Tomorrow I will attempt to go for a run with Kiara in my BOB. I might have to sing the Dori (Finding Nemo) song. I find myself singing it to myself when a particular run, spin, step class gets too tough to handle. "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming...." Works every time! :)
