Day 18

Another happy Friday eve. It took me 2 hours to get to work this morning. Why? Because it was raining. Raining! 75 N was closed because of an accident an hour before, and all traffic was being routed up 71, which was running pretty freaking slow, and let's not even talk about what I was stuck in before I hit the river....breathing, breathing...I ate a bagel. Yeah. See Cincinnati! Your stupid infrastructure made me eat a bagel!

So yes, emotional eating happened today, although it could have been worse. I had my shake this morning, but did not feel the love from my afternoon shake, so I ate 9 olives, 2 Tbsp of peanut butter, a plum, and a bag of skinny pop. I'll bring my soup tomorrow - I really did not feel very satiated from that. I left early, thankfully, to see the dietitian, and today was weigh-in day...

Starting weight: 289 lb 9.6 oz

Last week:  282 lb 6.4 oz

Current weight: 279 lb 1.6 oz

Loss: 3 lb 4.8 oz

I was in a better mood after that. Especially since I've been working pretty hard. Also, I'm pretty psyched to have passed up that first decade, you know?

I left the dietitian and went to the gym. Did my cardio and then back and biceps. I need to start planning the specific exercises ahead of time, though, I spent a little more time than I should have looking up exercises on my phone. For instance, I was supposed to do bicep curls using the cable machine, but I had no idea which attachment to use for to work my biceps. The first bit I chose did not work - I looked like a nutjob. Anyway, did my plank for another challenge, and then finished with 3 sets of 30 second battleropes. Because we should always finish our workout feeling like a warrior. I took a selfie at the gym, but I really don't like it:

That's a lot of upper arm I'm showing there. I do, however love this tshirt.

I'd like to chill for the rest of the evening, so here is a ferret picture:

In this picture, Nessa is eating a ferret treat, and Paco is jealous because she won't share. They are very funny together - she beats the everliving crap out of him, and he comes back for more. He did end up stealing the last bite, so Nessa lost that one.

Tomorrow is my rest day - I'm meeting my friend for an evening yoga class. I look forward to it, but I'll try to walk a few laps around the building during the day. Here's to a logical commute time, and a pleasant Friday to you all.
