Hi! Another long week past. Wednesday and Thursday I was busy preparing/cooking food for 100 (although, we didn't have 100 people show up to the lunch on Thursday, but we were prepared for it!). Wednesday, I also watched a sweet 6 month old and her older brother. So uh, yeah, didn't work out Wed/Thurs. Sucks, but, it didn't push me back at all in the weight department, so, no worries. I think I easily burned those 250-300 calories that I would have on the elliptical with all the extra work, heh. And, Friday, Sarge lost his ring in this pit of shredded tires... so we had to drive to the next biggest town, get a metal detector and go get it after he got off work. So, Burger King for dinner. Augh! XD

Week Eighteen
It was a slackers week, but a week never-the-less. Hoping to get back into the swing of things and really hit it hard this coming week. I am officially off my birth control (still preventing, so no one flip out on me and ask for pregnancy information monthly, lol), and am excited to see how that might affect things. If you don't know, one of the biggest complaints about hormonal birth control is weight gain. While using it, I've never been able to get under 148-150. The last time I got off it, I dropped to 137 without any exercise and just changing eating habits (although, I'll admit, they weren't the healthiest). So, with better food choices and being more active, this could be just what I needed to drop below this latest plateau. We'll see. Either way, I need to stop slacking off.
Monday Weigh-In: 153.6 (+1.4 lbs)
Monday and Thursday were babysitting days, so I worked out at night, Tues and Wed I knocked it out in the afternoon. I was really not feeling it all week. Friday was so bad, I didn't bother getting on at all. Not sure why, but my joints were really achy and I was in a horrible mood, so I said eff it and went to bed early. :/

Seventeen Weeks
Hello, again!
It's been a long week. Started babysitting another toddler Mini-Sarge's age a few days a week--which has been interesting. Monday, I was feeling too crappy to do anything. And, I was going to make up for it on Saturday, but Saturday I donated blood (whewt), so it was a no. Ha. Oh well. Still did decent. Tomorrow starts a new week.
All week, I did manual with different adjustments to the incline and resistance. Tuesday and Wednesday were in the evening (the little girl doesn't nap, and when she does, it's in the living room, where the elliptical is, ha). Thursday and Friday, I was free of the extra little one, so I worked out during the afternoon.

Week 16
4 months. Holy crap.
Monday Weigh-In: 154.2 (+1.8 lbs, boo)
Week was a little weird, and all over the place. Monday and Tuesday were afternoon, cardio and then interval. Wednesday, we had a guy here replacing our bathroom floor, so I got on it at night, and did manual mode--which, was amazing, and I will probably only do that mode now. I love to customize. Thursday and Friday I was back to afternoons and on interval. Wednesday and Friday didn't have much of any extra sets, because I've been developing a sinus infection, and just didn't/don't have the energy. I'm hoping it goes away soon. I haven't worked out yet today (spoiler, ha), but I can feel that tickle in my chest when I breath. I'll probably have to take it easy tonight, too. Blah. :/ I also started babysitting a little girl Monday-Wednesday this week, so, afternoons might be out for a while, unless I can get her to nap. I tried to get up this morning to do it, and rolled over. XD Sarge said he tried, lol.
