It was a busy weekend to end a busy week. And it really wasn’t a weekend for me – I ended up working both Saturday and Sunday. So I missed meeting on Sunday, boo. Saturday I got a good cardio session in – 4.5 miles –first a mile on the elliptical, then 3.5 on the treadmill. Mixing the elliptical in has been good for me I think. I wanted to workout extra because I knew it would be a long day – and my girlfriend was in town so we were planning a night out.
I worked until after 5 (crazy) but was able to relax and chill and had a fun night with my friend – we hit up Chino Latino, then headed downtown to Envy and Aqua. It was a quiet night, I haven’t been out dancing in forever, so I am not sure if it was because it was so cold, or the economy or the places we went are just not happening. Either way, we had fun. Funny moment of the night: a slightly drunk guy walked passed me and said, “You have nice hair” and that was all – it just cracked us up.
More work on Sunday, and fortunately didn’t drink too much – when dieting down like this I can get in trouble when I do have a drink, with tolerance dropping and less food intake. It was a long work day. EC stack kicked in (starting it again for this final week) and felt rather good most of the day. Lunch was at Champps with co-workers, not many good choices there. Had seared Ahi Tuna salad, not too bad, should have asked for dressing on the side, but all in all it was a good lunch choice.
Finally left the office around 6:15pm – headed straight for the gym. I did a cardio/strength split – 15 min cardio, light lifting, 15 more cardio. I had a good amount of energy so the workout felt great. Ran a lot. The change of scenery was nice too.
Dinner – I was good, had some chicken and Chana Palak I made in the crocpot (tossed it in before work Sat, smelled wonderful when I got home, but the spinach really turned dark. Next time will just make it on the stovetop). But I failed by snacking late, but I was up working until almost 1.
Goals for this upcoming week:
- I would love to lose 3 more pounds, but 2 is more likely
- Get organized – send out invoices
- Call my mom
- Pack for Cancun!
