Ups and Downs

I know, I know. I've been MIA. It's been a long week, and I can't say I'm sad it's almost over.

First of all, boot camp was a success. I lost five pounds over the weekend, and it actually wasn't that hard. Both Saturday and Sunday, I woke up and headed for North Central Park, where I walked/jogged 4.5 miles. I spent most of both afternoons swimming and was cleaning around the apartment the rest of the time. I figured as long as I was moving, I was being productive. I had a sandwich for lunch and salmon with cheesy brocolli and rice for dinner. I snacked on cereal bars and bananas and pretty much kept my calories to about 1,200.

The bad news is that the fiance's birthday was this week and the cake and pizza added to extra calories. Oh yea, and then I was in a wreck Tuesday and that has caused me not to exercise for most of the week because of neck pain.

So, yea, I've gained most of it back. As of this morning I'm at 228. I'm getting tired of this. I really have nobody to blame but myself. I just need to get focused. I'm thinking another boot camp is in order this weekend and the lack of birthdays for the rest of the month should help me keep the weight off this time around.

I can tell you that I'm definitely tired of losing these same few pounds.
