I had both the Friday and Monday of this weekend off (woohoo!), but unfortunately didn't really get to enjoy much of it! I've still been sick the entire weekend, had laryngitis for most of the weekend, plus on Friday morning just as I was standing up after eating breakfast, I threw out my back. Seriously??? My back hasn't hurt at all in the last two years since I started practicing yoga. Suddenly, it just up and decided that I needed to stop moving for the next two days. Oh, did I also mention that I have managed to get an ear infection on top of all this? Awesome... so all that running, yoga, walking in the park and general gallivanting around that I'd planned for the weekend? Yeah, not so much.
Friday was spend laid out on the couch in the hopes that my back would recover quickly. Also Ed refused to let me out into the public while I was looking/feeling/sounding so sick and nasty.
Saturday I went to work at my Weight Watchers meeting, which was good times as always!!! In the afternoon, I went to ED'S FIRST HOT YOGA CLASS!!!!! My amazing boyfriend has started to teach yoga, and I'm SO proud of him!!! He did really great and led a fantastic class! He's going to be such an awesome yoga instructor, and I'm so lucky that he's going to be around when I go through this training in the summer as well! Luckily my back cooperated throughout the class, and even felt a little bit better afterward. We then left the yoga studio to head out to Easter Dinner #1: Filipino Easter. Ed's mother is the cutest person on earth, but damn. The woman cooks for 50 when there are only 5 people coming to eat. We had turkey, ham, BBQ pork chops the size of dinner plates, salad, veggie stir fry with shrimp, rice, and papayit (sp? It's a soup made of various animal organs). Oh, and dessert - apple pie, ice cream, empanadas. Ooommmmggggg.... I kept my portions reasonable and made sure to pile it HIGH with veggies. So, I had 1/2 of a pork chop, a slice or two of turkey, loads of the veggie stir fry, and some salad. I was SO full I couldn't even look at dessert!
The next day brought Easter Dinner #2: Michelle's Parents. My mom has been following the Weight Watchers plan (with my help :)!), so she always makes sure that there are good healthy options available. Just again, a LOT of them! The table contained ham, chicken in a pineapple sauce, roasted potatoes, roasted veggies (peppers, asparagus, turnips, etc), and hot cross buns. I had everything except the ham, and again, was soooo full. But I knew my mom was having carrot cake (MY FAVOURITE CAKE!!!!), so like, as if I was going to be too full to eat that...!
All in all, I was successful in finishing off my weekly points allowance and then some. Hooray..... I'm a little nervous to see what the scale says this week. But, I'm getting back on track today! I've tracked everything that I ate over the weekend, even though I went WAAAAAAY over my points, and I'm moving on. Today is a new day!
I'm so happy that I have today off as well to do all the things I didn't get to do all weekend. Today I'm cleaning, doing laundry, and went to yoga. I'm looking out the window and considering that I really, REALLY want to go for a run. I haven't run in a whole week!!! I'm super far behind my training schedule for the Sporting Life 10K :( I think I'm feeling well enough to go, except for the dry hacking cough that keeps attacking me and the occasional reminder from my back that it isn't too fond of me anymore. Bah.......!
