back to the gym

So Saturday I made it back to the gym after a 2 and a half month hiatus. It was a good workout and I was glad i finally made the effort to go back. Then come Sunday, my day off, and We go out and make a day of running errands and just shopping with no place to go in particular. Well, it comes to lunch time, and I get the idea to go to cici's pizza buffet because we are passing it and I am getting pretty hungry. Well, that was a bad idea for my diet. I ate way more than I needed to. But hey, its the weekend, so I am allowed to splurge a little. Then back to shopping we go. Well, then we pass my favorite ice cram place, time for dessert. Dern, another bad idea. But, I did get the small shake and not the large not the old me would have. baby steps. We ended up having a nice day, and avoided all the rain that we were supposed to get. Somehow, it had just rained everywhere we stopped, but never rained while we were there. How perfect is that?
So Monday morning I get back on the scale, UGH. What the heck, there is my weekend splurge, still hanging onto my waist. I am back to 186. Up from 182.6 on Friday. But I say some of that has to do with going to the gym and building muscles, lol. They do say that muscle is heavier than fat. Well, I am not discourged. Today, Tuesday, I went back to the gym before work and picked up the pace a lil more. I have got to get down to 180 by Sunday. Soup for lunch and a fiber bar and I am no longer hungry. If I can keep this up all week, I may still have a chance of getting to the 180 mark. Back to the gym Thursday. And will report back by the weekend, I hope.
