After Almost Two Weeks of No Exercise . . .

July 17, 2007

. . . I didn’t gain weight! Wow, that was so exciting to see this morning. I’m still down the three pounds from a couple weeks ago, the last time I weighed in.

We had our Vacation Bible School every morning last week, and between that and trying to do everything else I normally do in half the usual time, exercise and eating healthy were pushed aside. I was sure that the weight I’d lost would be back when I got on the scale this morning.

So does that mean there’s no point in exercising?

No way. I think it means that because I’d been exercising pretty regularly before VBS hit, my body didn’t absorb everything I ate like it normally would have. It was stronger and maybe my metabolism was higher? Wouldn’t that be wonderful. And I spent 50 minutes on the elliptical yesterday morning, burning around 600 calories. I’m sure that helped, too.

How’s everyone else doing?

    I was bad about excercising last week, but I got back on track the last two days. Hope I can keep it up now.
