I am victorious... so far...

So far today i have steered clear of the candy!  YAY ME!  I did a serious "self-check" last night... sat myself down and gave myself a serious "talking-to", and decided that that candy bowl is off limits if I ever want the scale to move in a downward direction to reach my goal weight!  Today, when I got hungry between breakfast and lunch, I had a 100 calorie Weight Watcher's yogurt with a scoop of protein powder stirred in.  I forgot my lunch this morning... but found a pouch of tuna in my cabinet.... so I'll be having that.  (I have also been trying to save money by not eating out)...  It would be nice if I had some veggies or something to go with the tuna, but at least I have something here to eat.  I'll take what I can get.  LOL

Last night I did a 5 mile tempo run, which means that miles 1 and 5 were slower (warm-up and cool-down miles) and miles 2, 3, and 4 were sustained at the same tempo, faster then my usual easy run pace.  I ended up doing my tempo miles at about 6 mph, which was really good for me.  I usually go a lot slower than that.  After the run, I popped in my P90X Shoulders and Arms DVD and did it... 59 minutes worth of shoulders, biceps and triceps. *ouchies*

I was sufficiently exhausted by bedtime last night after all that... plus the crash from all that #^$% chocolate yesterday. 

Today's workout is a 3 mile easy run, followed by P90X Yoga... which is 90 minutes.  I didn't make it all the way through it last time because of distractions, so I am hoping to have better luck with it tonight when I attempt it again..  I am sooo looking forward to moving into our new place on Feb 1st, and having more room for the kids to disperse and go anywhere other than where I am attempting to work out. 

Life in general is good.  Blessings abound!!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone.

Sweating

Man...I start sweating, just reading your workouts....do you think I can count that as my cardio 2?

Hey Neighbor

Hey Becki - I do work on the base. I'm on the south side in Bldg 640.  I'd love to do lunch sometime - maybe in a week or two when things get uncrazy here. 

I get tired too looking at your workouts. 

Keep up the great work and good work staying out of the candy.  We have several of those jars in the office and one entire desk surface layered with candy, pastries and nuts.   It's hard hard hard to keep away.

work

I'm all the way at the west end of 640 by Highway 247.  I'm not sure where the TO office is.  I've been there about 9 years.   We've probably seen each other before.

I guess I do calculations like that a lot..  I was thinking of all the things I'm too cheap to buy that I could have bought  many times over with my vending money.
