I haven't been feeling well this week and I'm a little worried about my weigh in tomorrow. I haven't had a lot of activity as I've been fighting a head cold and I'm simply exhausted. I took the dog for a walk this morning, just around the big block and it seemed to take me forever, my pace was 15:30 a kilometer and I was so hot, sweaty and exhausted when I got home I just wanted to lay down.
This is not good after being out of town last weekend. My husband and I went up to Kamloops on Saturday to volunteer at the CBCF booth at the Run for the Cure. We picked up the rental car around 11am and hit the road after dropping Angus off at my parents. Shortly after hitting the road we were hungry so we stopped for lunch, McDonalds a wrap, some fruit that I picked up and rice cakes. Not too bad, but I knew that we would be having dinner with friends and I wouldn't have any control over the points. We ended up having Lasagna with Caesar salad and garlic toast. Although I was conscious of my points, I was still over for the day.
I had a rough night sleeping, the hotel room next to us seemed to be having a party going on and off until almost 3am, I had to be up at 630 to be ready to head to the Run site. I wasn't feeling good, my throat was sore and I had a stuffy nose so I didn't eat breakfast before heading to the field.
It was a true pleasure to be at the Kamloops Run site on Run day. The Run committee and directors did an excellent job of putting the run together, everything seemed to run so smoothly for them! It was great. When we wrapped up around noon, I was starving so we went to Tim Horton's for lunch. I chose a paninni and soup, the WW app on Gary's phone wasn't loading so I didn't know how many points I was spending on lunch. By the time we drove home, dropped off the rental car and picked up Angus it was past dinner time. We decided to cheat and order in dinner. Big mistake for me. I was hungry when I ordered so instead of just ordering my personalized pizza, I also ordered the restaurants marinara sauce and bread sticks. Yep...not the best decision considering I had very little activity over the weekend. I spent all of my daily points and half of my weekly points just on my meals on Saturday and Sunday.
I woke up feeling sick on Monday and I just haven't had any energy to do anything more than take Angus around the block. No long distance walks, no intervals, no nothing. Which is so not good for me. I have the Rubber Ducky 5K in 8 days and the way I'm feeling I don't know if I'll be able to walk the full 5K let alone run it, which is what I had originally planned!
Needless to say, I used a lot of weekly points this week, didn't get in hardly any activity, I've only earned 12 activity points, I usually earn between 50-70 so I don't have much hope for weigh in tomorrow morning. Part of me wants to just skip weigh in, call it a draw and work really hard next week but I'm not going to do that. I'm going to suck it up and go to weigh in and let the chips lay where they fall.
