Curves, Exhaustion & Killing the Judge’s Plants…

Well I finished the fitness study at Curves and even though I did not have good results, I am not disappointed.  I know I did the best I could while I was there, but what I am really proud of is the fact that I finally stuck with something.  I have quit so many things in my life: school, diets, etc.  But this I did not quit, and I went to Curves faithfully 3 times a week for 4 weeks straight. 

As far as my results go:  GAINED 3/4 of a lb!  And only lost a total of 2 inches.  According to my scale though, I lost two lbs so I am going by that one.  I weigh in once a week, the same time, without clothes on the same digital scale.  They have the doctors scale, which I weigh in with my clothes on obviously.  I don’t trust that one :)  I know I would have seen much better results if I had eaten a little better and done better on my cardio, but ya live & ya learn right?

I am feeling very burnt out this week.  I cannot even remember the last time I had a day off.  I have been staying overnight pet/house sitting for a local judge for the last 8 days and its definitely taking its toll on me.  Not that the job is extremely hard or anything, I guess its just all the running around.  And I think I killed one of his plants!  It has started to turn brown.  Not sure what I did wrong, I have been watering it everyday as instructed, but he has had that thing for about 20 years!  So I am worried about that which is not helping with being exhausted.

In other news, I have been faithfully following the walking challenge and am amazed that I have done 25 miles in 5 days!  I wonder how much I did if I counted all the miles of walking dogs I do everyday?  Maybe I’ll keep track today…
