My friend/former roommate A and I went to the gym together last night! I admit to not having been in a while (and to feeling the effects today), and it was so nice to have someone who would meet me there.
Like I said before, accountability is the key!
But as fun as it was elliptical-ing in the cardio theatre while laughing together at silly moments from Charlie's Angels. And as much as I enjoyed chit chatting between weights sets... I really enjoyed spending time with her afterwards!
I hadn't eaten dinner yet and so we went to iHop (where I easily stayed within my WW points! Just say no to pancakes!) where we sat and talked and fellowshiped for the first time in a very long time. I lvoe getting to hang out as a group with all of my former roommates, but I cherish one on one time weith them, too.
Did I mention I'm sore today? *ugh* Still going back tonight.....

Making Me A Priority and Having Friends to Lose It With
How's that for a long title?
I had a shaky last week... I didn't lose but I didn't gain, so that's a win, right? kind of? maybe? Come on... work with me here!
Anyway, it was Easter and a coworkers birthday and I was busy and out most nights (as per usual lately) and I really have a hard time saying no... I'm working on it... or at least telling myself I'm working on it... All that said, this week is a fresh start. No excuses to not bring lunches to work. No excuses to not work out. I bought some apples for my work fruit tray and some sugar snap peas to go with my surprisingly low in points stromboli that I make semi-regularly. I bought some healthier "crunchy" snacks to keep at work (again) and I'm going to start doing Zumba (on DVD) regularly again.
And my roommate wants to join me! She was out of town last week, so we need to get back into our routine, but we're going to attempt accountability and I'm really excited about it! I think it will be so much easier living with someone who is also starting to care about health topics (now if only I could get her to stop smoking?). She and I spent a night talking about how we feel now and how we used to be more active. How we want to make changes; and before she went out of town we had begun. I think we got started back on track last night with a healthier dinner.
I'm also going to teach her to make what she refers to as "northern/Yankee" vegetables. That means I steam them instead of cooking them in butter or bacon grease (shudder) or sugar.
I think I'm starting to win her over with green beans...................
