That track thing, becoming a germaphobe, and weekly weigh-in

"Back on track", "staying on track", "keep on trackin'" ... okay that last one I made up.

What track? Where? There was a track I was following at some point? When was that?

That's how I feel right now. Although, I do have to say that I have been excellent at counting calories. My daily average for the last couple weeks has been around 1550. It's pretty awesome. And thank goodness I'm doing well with my calories, because lord knows the gym and I are still in a fight.

I remembered to weigh-in this morning - and just as I predicted, there was a slight gain:

Official Weight @ 5/18/2012: 202.8 lbs


That's still an average of 1lb/week loss the last 2 weeks, even with the gain. I'm totally okay with that. That's ideal for me, especially without exercise.

I've got to get back in the gym. There's just no other option. I think I need to try going in the morning... which would mean getting up around 6:15am on gym days. I don't know if I'm really okay with that, though. But I can't seem to motivate in the evenings on a regular basis, so this may be the only other option. Or a buddy. Anybody out there want to be my gym buddy?

Another reason I haven't been to the gym since recovering from Death: I know my immune system is way down, and I'm terrified I will catch germs. Nasty gym germs. I finish my antibiotics today, so maybe by Monday I will feel "well" enough to brave the gym germs in the name of Sexy.

Positive news: I've officially gone down a size in jeans. I am down to a 16, and can even fit some of my Old Navy 14s. That is pretty exciting! Also, only 5 more pounds until I'm back at my official "pre-baby" weight. Maybe I can be there by mid-June! Then only 12lbs to my halfway goal of 185!

Next time I'm at the gym (either this weekend or Monday), I will get new progress photos and get those posted. I may even go for the yoga pants/sports bra look to better track my belly fat loss. We'll see how brave I'm feeling.
