Saturdays

I love Saturdays!  I went to Weight Watchers this morning and I'm down 2.8lbs.. quite happy with that!  I go to meetings @ 7am ( 9am is packed and honestly, I don't have the patience to wait around for the meetings to start). Meetings finish up around 8am, so I figured since I was up and on the go, it would be ideal to go to the gym right after and have my workout done for the day - success !

As per one of the staff @ W. W. she suggested I concentrate on cardio right now, as any weight work I do could cause my weight to maintain or even go up, and doesn't want me to get discouraged. I also get measured once a month @ the gym, so if nothing else I'll at least see my inch loss - please God.

My routine @ the gym consisted of 10 minutes of light cardio on the treadmill, and because of the advice I was given @ W. W. I only did the circuit once, but continued to do 10 reps - 1 set. After I finished up with the machines I went back to the treadmill. Did a quick 5 minute warm up and went on to my 45 minute workout on level 6, followed by 5 - 10 minutes  of cool down ( I can't remember if I had the patience to do the full 10 minutes today). 

Saturdays I let myself indulge without really keeping track of what goes in, but I do, however, keep a mental note so as not to go completely nuts.

After my workout I had 2 breakdfast wraps from Tim's ( 1 bacon, 1 sausage) with a hashbrown & my coffee, of course ! And then lunch time I had some pizza that was left over from last night - but I was able to ignore it last night.. .I stayed in our room & watched my show.. it's more important to do well on the scale on Saturday mornigns than it is to eat pizza on Friday nights.  There's an ice cream cake in the freezer as D's birthday is Tuesday, however I won't touch that until he decides he wants to go for it. 

The original plan was to go out for lunch/supper today for D's birthday as I was wroking, but since they've had to let me go - blessing in disguise I say, more gym time! - We're going to celebrate his birthday on Tuesday and then go out. I've already got my plan in place. Swiss Chalet - his favourite -  and my plan's in place. Peel off the skin of the chicken breast, and yes, I'm taking my kitchen scales with me so I can measure the amoutn of chicken I eat, and I'll be having steamed veggies instead of fries/potatoe, etc.  I really don't mind 'cause I know the payoff will be evident again next Saturday when I step on the scales.

Happy Weekend, everybody!
