Some weeks just drag on and on. This was one of those weeks. The days went by so slow, even though I got a fair amount accomplished. I’ve also got a lot going on in my head too, a lot of thoughts bouncing around that I’m trying to sort out.

Since the weather was SO nice this week I took advantage of it as much as possible. I haven’t written much this week so I’ll give you the full play by play…because I know you are dying to know!

Tuesday – I went for a good paced walk with a co-worker at lunch. It was great because we were going the same pace without trying to keep up with each other. Tuesday night after work I had a session with my trainer. During the warm up I really hurt my groin and could barely walk. It wasn’t just a “stretch it out” type hurt, it was deep and very painful. So instead of doing the runs with the parachutes I spent the whole session on the ground doing core work with a mixture of push ups as well. I did not have a treat on Monday night so I decided I was going to get something really good…a Laura Secord chocolate bar.

So I went home, made dinner, and had a hot shower. I put on Tiger Balm on my painful muscle and went to bed to watch a movie. I had my chocolate bar at that time and let me tell you, I have not had one for YEARS and it really was not near as good as what I thought it was. There is no comparison to the mint smoothies that’s for sure.

Wednesday after work I was exhausted and came home to have a nap. I got up just in time to go babysit Sammy and we spent the evening walking around outside since again the weather was SO nice. He was so snugly it really made my day J.

Thursday I stopped at the store and got some burgers for the BBQ and beer for the balcony. I ran into a former teacher there and spent some time chatting with him. He was actually the teacher that played a big part in who I am today. He told it like it was, and because of him I did much better in school and went on to college to get a degree which led me to my job today. When I got home we had dinner then just sat on the balcony and drank a beer before going to bed early and watching a movie. went home and just hung out with Sean. We watched a movie, and some tv and went to bed a bit early.

Friday night I cancelled my session with Lee because I was just SO exhausted from this week. I know it doesn’t sound like much but work was very busy and I had a lot going on. I just spent time with Sean and went to bed very very early. We put in a movie and I turned it off at 8 because I could barely keep my eyes open.

Saturday morning, 5 am rolls around and I wake up and can not get back to sleep. I am laying there wide awake (probably because I went to bed so early). I got up and cleaned the apartment, finished the movie from the night before, put away my laundry, and showered. Then I went to the 9am weight watchers meeting. I lost 2.6lbs this week which made me very happy because I really worked on lifestyle changes. Afterwards I came home and vacuumed (I don’t think my neighbours would have liked to hear that at 5 am when I wanted to do it!). I hit up a zumba class which I haven’t done in a long time and then went to IKEA with my sister. We had a good time and when I got home I made dinner then we had friends over for a movie and popcorn evening.

Today I was up around 7:30 and took Levi for a good walk. I came home made pancakes, showered, and went to Wal-Mart to get a few new clothes for summer. Sean’s cousins are here from Florida so we went to Kitchener to see them/his oma and opa. We took our swimsuits so we could get some exercise in the pool as well. Over all a very successful weekend, but I’m not ready to go back to work tomorrow.

So there is a recap of my entire week. I have a few small goals for this week:

1. Get more exercise this week.
2. Post more often in my blog so that I don’t have to recap a whole week in one post!
3. Start counting my points again. For the past week and a bit I have been really paying attention to portion sizes and written down what I eat. Now I am going to start putting the points in too (I didn’t want to overwhelm myself and do it all at once).
