day four

Started the day off a bit bummed -- I went up 0.7 lbs.  I know that there are lots of reasons why weighing myself every day is probably detrimental to my confidence and sanity.  On the other hand, it really can work as a motivator sometimes, especially when I am in a 30-day time crunch for my challenge. My mood was almost instantly pumped right back up by my BFF offering to come check out Planet Fitness with me after work!

We got a pretty solid hour-plus workout in, two times through the "12-minute" ab circuit, 35 minutes on the elliptical (2+km travelled and 300+ calories burned), and some work on our hips and glutes.  Some of my muscles are sore, but I am kind of just getting used to everything hurting all the time, and not even thinking twice about it.  But also somehow (insanely) Planet Fitness was giving away FREE PIZZA to their gym members, which seemed like a crazy counter-productive thing to do!

Came home and made a broccoli & cheddar stuffed chicken breast with (burnt!) veggies on the side.  Sticking with the Points was fairly easy today, on track for 22.  Ate a hard-boiled egg for the first time in like 20 years for protein.  My night cravings are lethal though!  Had a granola bar for a snack and I felt like I could have easily devoured the whole box, haha.

Tomorrow's challenge: Having a random Tuesday off with the whole day to myself...including my work out.  Compounded with an evening girls night hangout with friends and food.  Eeeeeeeeeek.
