Last night at TOPS I was down 2.5 for a total of 6.5.
Yay.
Tonight I had pizza and beer. However, I had a small amount of thin crust, a great big plan salad with dressing on the side (and I just dipped my fork in a couple times), and a Dos Equis. Even with that, I still have a few calories left.
Gotta live, and while that's not a common occurrence, it's been a stressful week and it was a nice way to end the week.
Have a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend, everyone.
Remember the reason for Memorial Day, to honor those gave their lives for us--members of the Armed Forces. Those men and women who perished for us are our truest heroes.

Consistently Consistent
I wish I could say that happiness was mine. At the moment, it's not. I'm taking summer school, and the class is statistics. Five weeks, an entire book, and I have not had this type class (math) since 1986. It's kicking my sorry a$$ from here to eternity. I had a 4.0. This will pull me down. The one thing I can say is I'm giving it my all--I cannot work any harder. So the work ethic is there, this just is not my forte. It will be over soon enough.
The FABULOUS thing about this semester is that my class is every single day. That means commuting daily--ick! BUT...I have hit the school gym every day after class. They have a bike there, actually four of them, called Life Fitness, and this is my all-time favorite bike ever, ever, ever. It's the bike found in nice hotels' gyms, and my campus. It is awesome.
And.....working on my goal of consistency, I've pedaled every day for 45 minutes, yesterday I hit 55. GO ME.
And......I have hit my calorie target every day this week. The stress load is tremendous, two nights ago I was having extreme anxiety because I didn't understand my work. But I stuck to it, got through it and didn't eat my way into oblivion.
So my goal is to pass this class (I'm hoping for a B), lose some fat, and get consistent.
Next week I will add my beloved kettlebells 4x a week by following the Skogg System's rotation. You can't just do cardio, but I needed it this week just to get into a consistent routine.
I think for me, I must add things as I go. So start of "small" (I don't consider riding that bike small, I work hard), but then add to it. So by the end of next week I'll have calories under control, consistent cardio and consistent kettlebells.
BOOM
And some MAJOR attitude adjustment has been going in--through the thick of stress.
Anything is possible!
