Good days and Bad

I've had a terrific week. A friend who doesn't know I'm losing weight commented that I've lost weight and look good. I had a new low weight yesterday (but as it's not official weigh in day it doesn't count on here) and ... drum roll please... I started a jogging program. You know the ones that are set up for 'Couch Potato to 5km' interval run/walk types? One of those. We (bf and I) walked for 5 minutes, then jogged for 1min, walked for 90secs, jogged again for 1 min etc for 30 mins. I felt terrific afterwards - and ok during it - but the next day my legs were aching! I was suprised as I'm on my feet all day every day and thought I had ok strength in my legs. I thought the pain would be in my chest and lungs but felt ok there - it was my legs that struggled. Well, that was day one and day two was meant to be yesterday but instead we were helping a friend move house after work.

Lordy!

I've never come across blokes who take so long to discuss which box to move first and how to stack the furniture in the elevator better... Me being the bossy but super efficient woman I am started to take over as soon as I got there and lo! we were done 5 hours later. The boys took us to Red Robins after and although I'd planned on the apple chicken salad, and was even looking forward to it, I was so tired and had burnt so many calories already, that i was swayed by the idea of a burger. I guess I'm not used to eating such greasy food anymore because it sat heavy in my belly all the way home. I really regret not getting that salad. Especially because after my all time low weight yesterday, it was up 1.5lbs today. Ack. Today will be better.
