What Goes Up...

Weight: 306
Workout: 65 minutes today, 1145 for April

Yup, the number jumped back up.

Gary and I did our Step Aerobics class for 45 minutes today - absolutely POUNDED me. But, because I'm trying to beat my exercise goal of 2000 minutes for April, I knew 45 wasn't enough for the day. So, even though I could have filled a gallon bucket full of sweat off of me, I went and did 20 more minutes on the Elliptical. Those 20 minutes left like I was running through 4 feet of snow. It was SO hard, but I accomplished it - first time I've been proud of my elliptical work in a long time.

After working out, that's when I hit the scale. Now, the weight went up - and it's frustrating. I just didn't feel like eating today. Long story made short, I didn't want to put a single calorie into my body. I ended up burning 1247 calories of exercise only today (not including the daily expenditure), but I only consumed 1225 calories. So, I was *WAY* too low today.

But that's ok. I know I should eat more, but I just wasn't up to it today. I had a few 2000+ calorie days this week, so there's nothing wrong with a day like this.

Tomorrow's FRIDAY, and the weekend couldn't be coming up sooner. I've got a ton of work to do on Saturday when it comes to work around the house, and Sunday's going to be just as busy, so I need to work incredibly hard this weekend - I think I'm going to see if there's another Step class this weekend.

So, the rush is on. I keep telling myself that "it's not important to hit the goal on time".. but I know I'm lying to myself.

299 or Bust.

Man, you do a ridiculous amount of exercise. Yesterday I ran out of gas on the elliptical. Rocky would be proud.

Rob -
I want to reiterate what alot of people blogged yesterday - it's great to have goals, but don't worry or beat yourself up if you don't hit the 200's by your anniversary. Just think of where you were last year at this date vs. where you are today - you should be very proud!

Oh and btw, sorry for getting those chocolates out the other night during Idol and putting them right in front of you on the coffee table - but it's OK to treat yourself and have a little bit of that stuff once in awhile!
