I really thought I would show a gain this week. I ate way too much yesterday. Breakfast and dinner were the worst. I was an eating machine. So I am thrilled with a 0.2 pound loss. I don't think I have ever been so thrilled to lose just 1/5 of a pound!

I was supposed to go to the gym today, but I didn't sleep much on Friday which left me really tired on Saturday. I don't want to push myself too hard and get sick, so I skipped the gym today and got caught up on my sleep. I'll go tomorrow and do upper body and Tuesday and do lower body. I really did need the extra sleep last night.

Brad and I did go hiking on Friday. He took the day off work due to some allergies. I asked him if he felt up to hiking and he said the fresh air would do him good. Because he took the day off we were able to get an early start. It took us 2 hours and 50 minutes but we did the whole thing from Sibley to Tilden and back - 6.8 miles total.

My pedometer died partway through the hike, and I didn't bring the spare battery with me! Brad showed me how to calculate steps from the information I did have, so I managed to get an approximate step count for the hike, and also for the entire day. I changed the battery when we got back to the car since I do carry a spare in my purse.

I forgot to bring my salad bowl to work with me today. Not sure how I'm going to eat my salad without it. Paper plate maybe?

And now for some photos I took over the weekend. Click any of them to enlarge.
