Late start…

….is better than nothing.  I have discovered (the hard way), the girlie doesn’t do well if we’re at gym after 7:45pm.  She gets too wound up from seeing her friends in the child care center if we’re there later.  So I keep my workout short.  The fitness room was crowded, so I hit the track.  I was going to run, but decided to walk with hand weights.

Me Day

I took today off for some “me” time.  I was great to be able to do what I wanted; and not worry if anyone else was having a good time.  LOL

I dropped the girlie off at school and headed to the gym.  I’ve been a slacker this week, but did an ok 2 miles.  I decided to go to one of the nearby towns to shop.  It has a cute downtown area with unique shops.  Picked up the girlie and splurged with pizza for dinner.  Overall, it was a good day.

I ate what?

I can’t believe what I ate today.  I’m too embarrassed to tell you all here.  Let’s just say, I feel awful.  I did log it all.  Gross.

Tomorrow is another day and I will do better.  No trips the cafeteria or stops at the vending machine or take out for dinner.  Tomorrow I will have a better plan and I will stick to it.

Walk with hubby

Girlie had a birthday party at the neighborhood rec center where the fitness center is as well.  The hubby and I dropped her off and ran to the running shoe store for new kicks for him.  We headed back to rec center to workout.  We walked then went to the fitness room for some general cardio.

slow and steady

I wasn’t feeling the love of the shoes today.  At one point my left foot was tingly.  Maybe my shoe was tied too tight?

I increased my time today.  I was starting to drag when my ipod played Eye of the Tiger!  I ran around the track like I was Rocky.  LOL  Nothing like a well placed song to get you over the hump.

5 minute warm up and cool down walk - will post separate.

8:1 x 5 run/walk combo - this seemed like a good ratio.
