Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

My weekend was long but not quite long enough. I went out friday night to shoot pool and have a couple of drinks with my ex. We had a great time. I will admit that I drank too much. I miss being with him a lot. He told me he still loves me but isnt ready to jump back into anything right now. It surprised me that he brought it up because I wasn't planning on talking about it as I am trying to give him some space. He's the one who asked me to hang out. I guess he is making some progress. I know there is no guarantee of getting back together but it's nice to know there is still a chance. Sorry I just needed to get that out.

I didn't do too much this weekend as I was completely exhausted. I did spend a lot of time cuddling with Deputy. He was so excited to see my ex this weekend. The first time in 2 months (I've told him numerous times he needs to come and see Deputy so I was very happy that he finally did). He seemed kind of sad the rest of the weekend after he left. The good news is I think Deputy is finally learning he can't play rough in the house with my moms dog so that means he is able to stay out of my room longer with everyone while I'm at work.

Tuesday goal: Take Deputy for a walk. I think I need to push past my exhaustion and try to do something.

Have a good day.

Tuesday Goals: Just keep doing what I'm doing. Worked with the trainer last night. Whew. . . I'm a little tired this morning. After being in San Diego all weekend, I was really pooped but still kept the appointment.

Cyrus and I had a blast this weekend. San Diego is so fun and there's so much to do. Saturday we spent over 9 hours at the Zoo. My FitBit logged well over 13,000 steps, 14 stairs and 6 miles. Sunday we met some friends for lunch at McP's, which was an Irish pub. Needless to say, I gave in to the fish & chips so not the best choice, but it was good! We then walked around Coronado Island and the boardwalk. We visited the Hotel del Coronado, which was established in 1885. What a hotel and so rich in history. Sunday evening we hit Old Town and did more walking. I almost thought we had crossed over into Tijuana. Very interesting place. Monday we took a 2-hour harbor trip and saw the ship yards and all the navy ships - very cool!! We then flew back to Vegas yesterday afternoon. We had a lot of fun and can't wait to go back again!!

@ John - Traveling does take some work. To be honest, I try to just maintain. While you can walk or try to pick healthy meals, you're also there for a reason. Time with your family and to remember your mother, which is so more important. I'll be gone all next week on business. My hotel does have a gym so I plan to use the elliptical, treadmill, etc. . . but like Kelly said the hotel room works just fine. Bring resistance bands or just to jumping jacks, wall push ups, sit ups, or anything to get you moving. I love the almonds, protein bars, etc. . . every restaurant offers something for folks watching their calories. Fish, lean meats, etc. . no cream sauces. While McDonald's is not my favorite, the new premium wraps are not too bad and get them with grilled chicken. I'll get the sweet spicy chili and it's around 350 or so. You can do it!!

@ Robin - I'm so glad you've found a new group. It's sounds like you'll be doing a lot of fun things with them. The board game night sounded very fun. Also, nice choice out too. While that burger may have looked good, just imagine the calorie count??!!! Excellent choice in the app!

@ Doug - Its good to see you again. I was in a funk this year too, but started back a month ago. While I was still checking in with the group, I was just hanging on by a thread. I gained a chunk back too, but logged it and started right back. I know you'll be working out just like before in no time.

Good morning all. Sounds like you all had a fairly good weekend. Mine was pretty good. I didnt eat perfect but it wasnt to god awful and I made it to the gym Sunday and Monday. I seemed to get derailed on the exercise front the last couple of weeks so I am trying to recommit to it. I am off to run a quick errand and then the gym when I get off of here. So on that note have a great day everyone.:flowerforyou:
