Helllllo!

It's been a heckuva week, y'all.

This is what I've been up to.

9/4: moved aka weight training for a couple of hours
9/5-9/7: unpacked, moved furniture, cleaned
9/8: the Beast for 45 minutes. 447 cal, 2.26 miles.
9/9: moved some more furniture and boxes around
9/10: nada except work half the day and hang around for the a/c and internet guys to show up

Even though I've actually only put ONE day of "real" exercise in, I've dropped almost 3 pounds in a week. I have even done this while eating KFC (split into three meals). I had a massive craving and everywhere I went, there was fried chicken!

My coworker had it for lunch and the office smelled delish, then later that night I went to a house for a Craigslist find and they were frying up some chicken and my taste buds were screaming. So, I got some. I picked up a 3 piece, mashed taters and gravy, coleslaw and a biscuit. I had a piece of chicken each meal and divied up the sides. That biscuit didn't last but a few minutes. so rounds two and three were biscuit-less.

Sooooo, here are my theories. One, I changed up my routine and my body was like, whaaaa??? okay. cool. and it carried on. Two, in the past week, I've gone down several ticks on the stress meter so there's less cortisol floating in my gut. Three, it's good to indulge a little bit once in a while. The emotional and sense benefits (for me, it's comfort food and a little nostaglic) outweigh any physical cons.

I am now, officially, 2 pounds away from my Reunion goal weight.
