I took some pants to get some alterations done and then Dad and I stopped off to play some slot machines.  The day sure seems brighter when you win!

Today's workout:

• Run/Walk the Trails, I completed the distance twice so I finished up 4.6 miles today.  I ran more than I walked so that was good.  I have this dream of becoming one of those people who attain a "runner's high" when they run.  I am not that person yet but I will keep trying.  I did notice I feel the muscles in my stomach a little more that before, maybe implementing the breathing techniques that I have will result in a flatter stomach, wouldn't that be a lovely side benefit?  I think I need to start including an ab workout of some kind.  I think I will start with the 21 Day Fix ab routine - starting Monday.
• Walk to the gym
• Squats = 50
• Triceps Curls = 50
• Modified Push Ups = 50
• Arc Trainer (elliptical machine) = 20 minutes, burned 178 calories
• Octane Fitness (elliptical machine) = 33 minutes, burned 222 calories
• Treadmill = 30 minutes, burned 161 calories
• Walk home from the gym

Today was my Weight Watchers meeting.  I know I have been making good choices, I have cut down portion size and I have been better about not letting too much time go by between meals so I don't become a cranky bitch who eats everything in her path.  At the same time the scale hasn't moved an inch in either direction (according to my weight check at home).  I wish I could be the type of person that revels in her positive changes and knows that the number on the scale is not the end of the world.  I am not that kind of person.  I am racking my brain, trying to figure out what I can change to see more of a weight loss each week.  I checked in to my weekly Weight Watchers meeting and according to them I actually lost 1.4 Lbs.!  I don't know why I feel like this justifies my hard work but I know it is seeing results that helps keep me on track.  We have the kids a few times this weekend so I am hoping I don't fall off the rails due to wanting to do stuff with them rather than count points.
