I hate my scale

Crazy busy day! Getting the house and the dog cleaned today, lol. So,just the other night I was telling hubby how I don’t really like evaluating my progress solely on the scale, and this morning proved why: I weighed myself this morning like I always do – scale said 130.6 – yay! But that really seemed too low. So I went upstairs, drank a large glass of water, then weighed myself again: 131.6 – that seemed better. But it just blew me away how much drinking water could cause the scale to vary, hmm…

Workouts: Last night was so not in the mood to work out – didn’t get home from meeting until 9:45pm. But hubby was working out, so jumped on treadmill next to him and before I knew it I had run 3.5 miles – and at a fairly good pace!

I then proceeded to stay up too late reading a magazine, but did manage to pull myself out of bed around 7:30. After then usual routine of feeding the animals, weighing myself and streching I worked out – 10 min on the elliptical followed by 25 on treadmill – most of it was running!

Food: I surprised myself last night – I made seared Ahi tuna! I love Ahi tuna, and my grocery store had a great deal on it. I had googled recipes last week for seared Ahi tune, they all seemed rather complex. But we needed something quick for dinner, so I finally got some, along with some sesame seeds, wasabi and wasabi-ginger salad dressing.

All I did was season the tuna with salt and pepper, then sprinkle it generously with black and white sesame seeds. Heated some safflower oil in a pan over medium high heat, put tuna in – about 2-3 minutes on 1 side, flip then 2 min more. Let it cool a bit, sliced it up and served with salad. So, so good!
