Weight gain count towards the challenge?

I didn't do good this week. Does my challenge go the other way, to see who gains the most? hehe...I am trying to be funny and not beat myself up. If you haven't guessed it, I gained this week. I'm not surprised though. Last week I was a zombie. I had no energy, all I wanted to do was sleep, I went out to lunch at work almost every day and I didn't hit the gym once. Come to think of it, I wasn't eating healthy at all, so I probably brought much of it on myself. Eat crap, feel like crap!

On the bright side, is that I haven't given up. In the past, I would give up so something has definitely changed in my mindset over the past several months. I like it :). The other bright side is I am taking my thyroid pills again, like I am supposed to. How do I expect my body to lose weight, if I don't do everything I can do to help it? My thyroid is extremely underactive. When I was first tested, my number was 190. It is supposed to be between 2 and 5, although my doctor is trying to keep it closer to 2-3. I have read that if you have weight issues, it is better to be at the lower end of the range.

I started retaking my thyroid pills again because I hate feeling like this. I do think part of it is the weather too. It is supposed to be in the 90s today (BLEH!) It gets hot out, I turn into a snail. Lucky for me, the gym is air conditioned and today I go. No ifs, ands or buts..my ample butt will be in that gym after work.

So I am back, physically and mentally, ready for all the challenges!

In other news...today is weigh in day! I have received one update and two new additions to the challenge. So once I get some more updates, I will post this week's results.

Yesterday, a friend of mine and I wanted to go see Sex & the City. We decided on the 2p show and my friend tends to run a bit late in getting ready so we were pushing it to get there by 2p. We made it by about 1:45 and it was sold out. Ok, well another one was playing at 3p. The line to get into the individual movie theatre started at 2:15 for the 3p show. I have never seen so much estrogen in one room in my life and quite frankly, I would prefer not to see it again. I had no clue that Sex & the City was that popular. In order for us to get a seat, we had to go seat ourselves at about 2:15. There were a few men...the poor saps being dragged in by their wives. I'm sure they liked the nude scenes though. I didn't even ask F if he wanted to go with me, I would never want to subject him to it and I don't want him humor me by going. For those of you that want to see it, I would suggest waiting a few days before attempting. :)
