Nothing AT ALL exciting to report to you this week. So, I’ll just come out with it.

I gained 4 pounds!

WHAT! I KNOW! I am irritated, frustrated, ticked, annoyed, disqusted, discouraged, sad, etc, etc, etc. YES. I haven’t been eating the best, but I haven’t been a sloth either. I haven’t been drinking the water like I should so I know that’s part of it. I have been sticking to my workouts – actually logged around 12 miles this week and did all my weight/resistance training too. I was very tired throughout one run. Not sure what the deal was, but it was short that night (just a mile).

I’ll tell you something kinda funny despite this stupid gain I had this week.

I was running Wednesday night CONVINCED there was something wrong with me. You know, I do my best thinking and conjuring up make-believe stuff while I run (I call it creativity :). I was having PMS-like symptoms (sorry, TMI maybe) but I wasn’t PMS’ing. So, I got home and I looked my husband dead in the eye and said, “I think I’m pregnant.” He just looked at me and said, “I’m 99.9% sure that isn’t your issue.” Well, he had a point. I did see what the doctor did to ensure those swimmers of his didn’t go swimming alive again KWIM. BUT, what else could be the problem ya know.

So, I took his response and them immediately sent him to….YEAP, the store to get a pregnancy test. He got home, I took the test. Before I took it, I was wondering if a negative result would make my stomach go flat. What’s the logic behind that you ask? When I was pregnant each time before, right after taking the test, my stomach would instantly balloon up to 3 months gestation (when really I was only 6 weeks!). I figured if I wasn’t pregnant, my body would have the opposite response to me being NOT pregnant and say, “Oh yeah, we’re not supposed to look 3 months pregnant right now.” And, said stomach would instantly shrink down to semi-normal flat. Makes complete sense, right? :)

Well, my stomach didn’t budge.

And, I’m NOT pregnant. Whew! I am, however, sending my husband in to have his business tested again to make super double positive that those little swimmers are dead! :)

Now that I’ve shared all of my craziness with you. I AM switching up my exercise routine again. I am going to be focusing on interval training as I did last year, ^[1] instead of endurance. I do want to do several races this summer, but I’m not doing anything over a 10k until I can lose these last 10. Sweet – my motto now will be “Lose the 10 and go BEYOND 10k” or something cheesey like that. I like cheesey :)

How did you do this week. Get your exercise in? Eat some healthy stuff? Got anything funny to tell me so I don’t dwell on the fact that I gained this week? Make me smile :)
