I apologize for my poor blogging skills. I need to keep up better.
I haven't been very good this weekend. Jason and I ate at Longhorn Saturday night, but boy oh boy was it delicious. I have been frustrated with my weight plateau lately, this surely didn't help! lol.
I am just struggling to get past these few pounds. But Sunday, Jason and I joined a gym so hopefully that will give me the extra push that I need. I was planning on joining when I'm done with rehab. I still have 4 weeks left, but I just don't really feel like I get as good of a workout on my off days at home. So this will be a better way to get a more intense workout and hopefully get to back to shedding some pounds. Especially since I just found out I will be getting to go to Florida in a few months! It would be wonderful to be wearing smaller sizes for that!
I am wearing pants that I haven't fit into for awhile, but I'm still not buying new clothes. Luckily, a good friend gave me some old clothes of hers for work so that I don't have to buy much in my inbetween stages. I hate to spend the money when it isn't really where I want to end up.
I have been discovering some great new foods. I really like morningstar. They make veggie corndogs, hotdogs, burgers, etc... They are really good! The corndog tastes just like a regular corndog (you can't look at the color though). I grilled some of their burgers for Jason and I on the George Foreman last week and even he said it wasn't bad! The corndogs are only like 150 calories and the veggie burgers aren't bad either.
I also discovered some high fiber muffin tops I like by Vitalicious. They are pretty yummy, not a brownie, but still gives me my chocolate fix and they are 100 calories with 9 grams of fiber so they keep you really full.
I bought some high fiber oatmeal, yuck. It was like paste. I've never really been into oatmeal anyways but thought I would give it a try. I got about half way through my bowl.
Rehab is going good. I have nicknamed most of my fellow re-habbers. I've got a grumpy, a stinky, a know it all and many more. Know it all really likes to talk. The other day he kept going on and on about how if I would just slow down in my workout my heart rate wouldn't go up and your blood pressure would stay the same. I think he missed the class when we talked about exercise. LOL. But they are all pretty nice, well except for grumpy. He REALLY does not want to be there. His nickname was up in the air between loafers too so maybe if he gets friendly it will switch to that. I just can't imagine loafers being that comfortable to work out in, but what do I know. Less than 4 weeks left of rehab and I'm out on my own!
When I was looking at gym's to join, I was discussing different local ones with my coworkers and one person told me that she left the YMCA because everytime she was working out she was working out next to old people. LOL. Maybe I should have gone there, I would have felt right at home. :)
Let's hope for a push through this plateau next time!
