It rained again today, but not an all day thing like yesterday. I can't complain, because we need the rain. I've been reading, a lot, these past couple of days. I usually don't eat when I'm reading, so that's a plus. On the other hand, I'm not moving much either. I do stop reading to cook, so I'm making healthy suppers for the family.
I went to the gym again this morning, but forgot to take my meds before I went. So, while I felt good with the exercising, my knees started to hurt about mid afternoon, and I couldn't figure out why. And sitting in my weekly "pill container", today's meds were staring at me. Duh, no wonder my knees hurt. I'm taking a prescription anti-inflammatory medication, which really does help. And the one pill a day sure beats taking ibuprofen several times a day! So, I did finally take the medication, and it's starting to kick in. I may have to take hubby to work, so #2 daughter can have the car tomorrow. Which means getting out of bed, getting dressed, and getting to the gym a lot earlier than what I've been doing. Yeah, the motivation is really lacking this summer.
Since we are going to Lake George on Friday, I'll have to weigh in on Thursday. The same leader does both meetings, but the people aren't the same. Many of the people I had been seeing at my Friday meeting have dropped out for the summer. Oh well. I know, that if I don't go to a meeting, I will let things start slipping, "because I have another week before I weigh in". And once it starts slipping, it is so hard to pull myself back to doing the program. I can go away on vacation and stay on program. I know, I've done it before. But, if I let myself slide and not count everything this week, I know I won't stay on program while we're on our 4 day weekend. And that's been my problem this spring/summer. I started to let it slide, and then stopped going to meetings and ended up gaining 15 pounds.
So, here's to a continued "on program" week, and a good start to our weekend away. I can't do it, I just have to work at it.
