I’m doing pretty good this week – eating less (there’s nothing in the house right now, and I haven’t had much time to grocery shop), and I’m making decent choices and controlling portions.  Of course, Tuesday night I missed climbing because of that BAAC meeting, and then we went to Ruby Tuesday where I had salad & burger – along with  fries and hot chocolate with whipped cream and buttershots.    OH, and a piece of chocolate caramel, thankyouverymuch.

Anyway I ran 7 miles on both Monday and Wednesday (Candy totally blew me off on Wed!    that’s right – I’m calling you out right here, woman!)

 
And today…

I did calisthenics type stuff.  I did 150 (3 sets of 50) of those low quick squats, plus a ton of other exercises, one set of 25 reps for most (only 10 push ups – the real ones, and only 12 shoulder raises with the Billy Bands)

I did dips, push ups, leg lifts, leg raises, kickbacks, scissors, single leg stretch…

I did the plank, shoulder bridge and side plank

With the Billy Bands, I did curls, press, flys, tricep extensions…

All in all, it took me about 20 minutes – with very short rests between every 4-5 exercises.

Whew!

Last night I watched You: On a Diet, and it was alarmingly inspiring.  While we won’t be totally cleaning out our pantry of all the evils (hydrogenated, enriched, hfcs), we will moderate those foods and look for other alternatives.

Now I’m going to enjoy the chocolate that I got from all my guys for Valentine’s Day – in moderation of course.  This afternoon, Doug and I are getting a couple’s massage at Tuscany Day Spa, which finishes with champagne and chocolates…  Can’t wait!
