Sunday Stats
A nice gentle day on Sunday. Grocery shopping and date night with hubby. Ethan stayed with his grandma for the afternoon and from all reports had a fun time while we went to see a movie (Red 2, almost as good as the first, I want to grow up to be Victoria (Helen Mirren) ) and had my first free meal in a while. Raisinettes at the movie, guacamole burger at Chili's and some frozen custard for dessert. I actually didn't finish the custard in the end.

Saturday Stats
Stats for Saturday:
Busy day overall, apart from my workout (previous post) I kept on my feet as much as I could doing housework or running around after Ethan.
Actual weight loss has been minimal this week but I think that's because of the weights etc. I've lost 2" off my waist so something is being done right. I've always noticed that the day after a hard workout I'll rarely see a scale drop, I've always assumed its muscles retaining water.

Here we go again
In the last 4 months I crossed the pond again. Living back in Louisiana, it's not something I had hoped for but we shall make the best of it since this is where life has led us.
I started a new job as a Programmer/Systems Analyst with a health insurance company who is very keen on it's employees personal health so we are encouraged in all sorts of ways. We have a pull up bar in the office and I work on the 7th floor so lots of stairs there. I also took one of my kettlebells in last week and plan on throwing some swings in on a regular basis since the rest of the time I am kicked back at my desk.
I finally got my withings scale and i got my body media armband back out of storage so let the geekery commence.
My bells are still my weapon of choice and I'm logging food on my fitness pal. You can also find me on fitocracy these days which is a favourite for logging workouts. Username is Morkai as usual :).
