Rest Day My Ass...

Having been to the gym or done some form of exercise every day in the past week, last night KJ and I decided today would be rest day. Want to know what I did on rest day?

• Vacuumed the floors, including under the bed and living room furniture.
• Went shopping on an empty stomach.
• 20 minutes of Pilates at home.
• 25 minutes on the treadmill @ 2.5 mph and 3.5% incline.
• Clipped the dogs' nails without bleeding them out.
• Brushed some mats out of the dogs' feet and legs (damn winter!)

Want to know what KJ did for rest day? Well, aside from helping with dinner, and going shopping with me, he played Sims 4 all day. All. DAY. He took rest day to heart and did sweet fuck all. It's pretty impressive, actually, because he rarely does anything like that.


I will say this: going shopping on an empty stomach, with PMS, while dieting, is a really stupid idea. I was irritable as all hell, and hungry enough to eat anyone who pissed me off. Considering one of our stops was Wal-Mart, I think I made out okay by not killing anyone.

Tonight we made a stir fry of mixed vegetables and chicken breast, and it was really delicious, but I would have sold my left arm for a cheeseburger.

This is not a cheeseburger.

As of this morning, I am down 9 lbs. of my first 10 lb goal. It's not a lot, but it's a good start and is very encouraging. KJ is down 8lbs and, while he only has another 18 lbs or so to go to reach his goal, he's on board with this shift so I can reach mine. What a keeper! :)
