Three weeks in and we've had some success and some failures. Overall, I'm happy with this past week though there were some icky feeling days that likely were the explanation for weight loss. However, I did make real strides in tracking those Points Plus points under the new Weight Watchers plan and mostly embraced hitting the Anytime Fitness without too much complaint.
Jim & I have (re)discovered the well known truth that meal planning = success on the scale and less last minute temptation for fast food or quick foods which undoubtedly have greater scale/workout impact.
Very amused today when Jim and I were discussing his summer schedule. He plans to again volunteer to work both weekend days. After 3 decades, this lack of time together doesn't pose any major relationship issues. Certainly we miss the time but can find ways to entertain ourselves without negative impact. Jim chirped along telling me that his not being here would also give me plenty of time to work in those 2 trips each day to the Jim. I didn't know whether to laugh or fall on the floor.
Carefully, and sweetly, I explained that I did not see myself EVER willingly going to the gym two times in one day. Nor do I ever see myself eagerly anticipating these visits. I recognize we need to do it, he is saving considerable personal time by having an accessible gym close by, and that this will become something we enjoy together. But TWO times daily? Not gonna happen. Gotta love his enthusiasm and optimistic spirit though.
Mendenhall, here we come!
