Survior - hear me roar

  I am a Survivor!! Last week Bill was gone on a business trip to California. To say I was nervous to be alone with the kids for 5 days & 4nights was an understatement. Bill has never gone away on a business trip and in the 7yrs we have been together we have never been more than 2 nights away from one another. 

  I was nervous of how the week would go and in preparation two bottles of my favorite wine were bought. Not that I would resort to drinking wine in a moment of craziness. I also planned a few extra play dates/activities to keep the kids and I busy throughout the week. Believing the distraction would be good for all of us.

  The week went really well and before we knew it Friday had arrived. The moon & stars aligned this week and the kids were actually pretty well behaved. In fact so few issues occurred that extra wine wasn't even needed. And keeping us busy resulted in very tired kids which meant early bed times, woohoo!

  Eating went well too because 1. our carbaholic was gone and 2. warmer weather meant lighter meals.

  Working out went Amazing!!  I worked out a total of 6 days this past week. One of these workouts was even a "block" workout and proved to be a little more challenging than I thought. I see more block trainings in my future in preparation for this Triathlon.

  Weigh in on Saturday was only .8 down. I was hoping for bigger loss due to my great eating & workouts. the scale was against me  But it was not meant to be this week.

Monthly measurements weren't as exciting either. And this gal did NOT make Bill take the measurements twice. With the results still not much different.

Arms = 16.5 no change

Bust = 43.5 no change

Waist = 39 1 inch change

Hips = 53 1.5 inch change

Onward & upwards with a new week and I aiming for a bigger number. I am only 3lbs from the 30 mark and I really want to get to that weight loss number. To add to my challenge I am meeting with a swim coach on Tuesday. Here's to helping me improve my pathetic swim stroke.
