The training is on!  Just when I thought I had decided to eat my fudgsicle (40 calories) and watch GH (which I did), I looked at the clock, and thought, I can run one mile right now.  So I did.  I just ran a 12 minute mile.  I figure I have three weeks to train…a mile this week, two miles next week, three miles the next…

Doing so-so on food today.  Breakfast at Doug's parents, mid morning snack of two apple struesel muffins, my Taco Bell lunch (just 2 crunchy taco supremes no lettuce), watermelon seeds while driving (the asian version of sunflower seeds) and that fudgsicle.  With exercise, I've got 783 calories left for tonight.  I haven't dropped my RMR yet. 

So…this morning I got up at 6:40 AM so I could get a workout in before the boys woke up.  I had a new workout recorded punch, crunch and something…

I was doing the abs part of the work out, where you are basically in a push up position balancing with your feet on top of an exercise ball, then you have to pull the ball in with your legs – killer.  I did about 8 out of the 12 reps, and sat down to catch my breath.  Then I heard this little voice, "Mom!  You have to keep exercising!"  Zander was on the stairs.  He insisted I get back on the ball.  I was thankfully able to explain that I did as many as I could, and would do more next time.

Sheesh! 

Oh, I also got on the scale this morning and I am down 0.4 lbs from last Tuesday.  See how much weight one can fluctuate in a day?  I'm 4 lbs away from my goal.
