Good Morning

I hate being awake at this ungodly hour... now before you laugh at me calling 7am an ungodly hour you should probably know I've been up for about an hour already. Not that 6am is much...ungodlier (?) but I had minimal sleep due to the annoying allergies I seem to have developed in the last week or so. I am a unpleasantly sneezy, itchy eyed, and generally irritated. A great way to start my weekday weekend.

That's enough bitching. Can't help the weather and allergy inducing contents in the air.

Alrighty so I said last post I was going to maybe go back to posting weigh ins. In happy news, I lost 2.2lbs this week! Go me! I kept myself in check at Bunco on Friday and it really paid off.

Now, lets recap a bit since it's been a while since weights were posted. (yay. honest accountability.)

My lowest weight on record is the 2/16/13 weigh in : 238.8 (-45.5lbs)

I'd like to pretend I didn't gain exactly 10lbs back but I did, in fact, do that. On 5/11/13 I went back to weigh in after much awful terribleness and found my weight to be 248.8. How nice of my body to really stick it to me by gaining exactly 10lbs. On the bright side, I only gained 10lbs. I'd obviously prefer not to gain at all but at least it wasn't anything crazy like all the weight I lost or something horrific like that.

So here's the new stats:
May 18th Weigh In: -2.2 lbs.
Total Weight loss: 37.6 lbs
Weight: 246.6 lbs

I just want to say that my home scale is annoyingly and optimistically inaccurate and when I pre-weighed myself before heading to my meeting (yes I do that, don't judge me - I don't want any surprises) my scale said 243. I much prefer that number but I'll be back to it soon so I'm not worried.

That's enough with numbers and weights for now. Let's talk about the important stuff like fitness and training. I'm starting my multi sport rotation training today. I've included some strength training because I am terribly weak, especially upper body wise. Seriously, you should watch me try to do a push up, it's pathetic. I'm excited to get back in the pool and I always love hopping on my bike so I just have to muddle through the run and I'll be fine come August.

I'm also not taking any summer classes because I decided to (once and for all) switch schools. I'll be starting at Trinity in September for the Dual Special/Regular Education program. I'm super nervous and really excited. I'm also taking a couple classes at Moraine so I decided I'd give myself the summer before I get sucked into accelerated schooling for 2 solid years. The best part of the summer, is the fact that we are switching to twelve hour shifts at work to cover someone on leave. It's wonderful because I'm getting a few more hours a pay period and working less days. I am literally working 12 days in June.

Best. Summer. Ever. (Hopefully).

Now I really want to go back to bed because I am finally tired and ungunky in my sinuses but what kind of in-training behavior would that be? Time to strap into my armor-like sports bra and start pumping iron! It's arms day!
