<\/p>\nIt’s weird – ya know – most weeks I am dreading the Monday routine of “gingerly-putting-my toe-on-the-scale” and hoping and praying for a nice number thing.\u00a0 This week, I kind of miss it.\u00a0 I mean, it was not going to be good news at all.\u00a0 A bachelorette party.\u00a0 Dad’s day Italian food.\u00a0 Celebrating my promotion unexpectedly on Friday.\u00a0 These things a good weigh in does not make.\u00a0 On top of it, yesterday begin that most wonderful time of the month when I want to curl up into a little ball and simultaneously curse mother nature for the inherent womanly design flaws and thank the stars for the fact for once again proving to me that I can go one more month doing nothing more motherly and responsible than trying not to kill our houseplants and hoping our iguana doesn’t get into anything too poisonous on the floor with her adventures.\u00a0 So even if magic was worked somehow with the weekend crazy, that would have sent me into a fit of rage, chocolate, and piles of cow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, I am pretty proud of Saturday.\u00a0 Between a 25 mile bike ride, a 3.1 mile run, and approximately 2 hours of constant dancing that night (if not more), dailyburn.com estimates me at 2150 calories burnt.\u00a0 In my generous estimation of consumables – I think I was at 2500, tops.\u00a0 Daily burn wanted me to consume about 3500-3700 calories that day to be in the weight loss range.\u00a0 Oops.\u00a0 Makes sense why I was in no mood to swim the next day and have been kind of exhausted since.\u00a0 Above was the beginning of the night – here’s the end…<\/p>\n

Wheeee!\u00a0 I should be freaking out that I haven’t swam much, but honestly?\u00a0 Eh.\u00a0 I can do the sprint bike and run distance in my sleep.\u00a0 I did twice the bike distance and the full 5k on Saturday hung over and tired.\u00a0 I’ve done 1.5 times the swim distance in the pool without being worse for wear.\u00a0 I think the sprint distance shouldn’t be an issue.<\/p>\n
Also, we plan to switch gyms sometime next month.\u00a0 So I’ll be able to swim every day if I please.\u00a0 I can do some swim training cram sessions.\u00a0 Considering I’m about 2 months from the sprint tri and 3 from the olympic… I think I should be ok.\u00a0 Also, is it weird that I’m a little sad to leave my old gym?\u00a0 I mean, it’s bare bones and smells like sweat and grossness sometimes, and I’m sort of a minority there because I’m white, and machines are out of order sometimes, but it’s MY ghetto gym.\u00a0 I know it’s because I always do this with places (apartments, jobs, anything that I can call MY place to live, work, be, etc), but you think it would be onward and upward.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 Oh well.<\/p>\n
This week is looking pretty mellow to last week’s crazy.\u00a0 At least socially.\u00a0 Work is ALWAYS crazy.\u00a0 It’s good, because I am kind of exhausted from 3 days of celebration.\u00a0 I was dragging ass through yesterday and though my workout went well, I sort of wanted to curl up and die for most of the day.\u00a0 Today, I’m about at 80% and hoping one more good night of sleep will fix me up proper.\u00a0\u00a0 Our ONLY plans this weekend is our work picnic celebrating 10 million registered (yeah – I’m pretty proud of us too), and I think I’m ok with that.\u00a0 Think I might pull back the crazy workouts too and make this sort of a recovery week.\u00a0 I need to do at least a 10k sometime since it was a little harder than it should have been, but dial back the bike miles a bit.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, here is last week by the numbers:<\/p>\n
Monday: 1604 in – 466 out (DDR and weights) = 1138<\/p>\n
Tuesday: 1851 in – 680 out (10k run) = 1171<\/p>\n
Wednesday: 1499 in – 546 out (20 mins bike, 20 mins arc trainer) = 953<\/p>\n
Thursday: 1496 in – 767 out (1 hour weights, 40 min bike) = 729 (oops)<\/p>\n
Friday: 1784 in – 0 out = 1784<\/p>\n
Saturday: 2500 in – 2135 out (25mi bike, 5k run, 2 hours dancing) = 350 (super oops)<\/p>\n
Sunday: 1525 in – 0 out = 1525<\/p>\n
Avg calories in per day: 1751<\/p>\n
Avg calories out per day: 656<\/p>\n
Avg net calories per day: 1094<\/p>\n
Avg deficit per day: 718, or about 1.5 lbs.\u00a0 We’ll see.\u00a0 Dailyburn doesn’t even think so because of the crazy deficits some days and overages others.\u00a0 Good thing I’m not weighing!<\/p>\n
So this week, my devious plan:<\/p>\n
Monday: cybil for 40 mins (500 cals), ate 1895 calories<\/p>\n
Tuesday: bike 12 miles, run 4 miles (800 calories), eat about 1800 calories.<\/p>\n
Wednesday: morning bike ride (300), eat about 1500 calories<\/p>\n
Thursday: weights (200), eat about 1500 calories<\/p>\n
Friday: 10k run (700 calories), eat about 1800 calories<\/p>\n
Saturday: 12 mile bike ride and weights (600 calories), eat about 2000.<\/p>\n
Sunday: off and eat 1500 or active adventure somewhere and eat more.<\/p>\n
That’s about it for this week.\u00a0 Wishing the weather would have cooperated for more lovely afternoon bike rides and bike commutes but high 90’s with a heat index of every day above 100?\u00a0 Think I’ll save the heatstroke for others. \ud83d\ude1b\u00a0 How’s your weather this week?\u00a0 What do you have planned?<\/p>\n
…and just for making it to the end, I will reward you (or punish you) with this gem.\u00a0 Oh oh oh oh!<\/p>\n
