Happy Hump Day!

Here we are mid-week now, so tell me... how are YOU doing on your fitness/healthy eating routine? Good I hope! So far so good here... although I did do something last night that I shouldn't have. I got a diet coke with my grilled chicken sandwich! I haven't had a diet coke in probably a good month or so... well now I know why I would get this nasty gunk in my throat that I felt I constantly needed to spit! It was the stuff that's in the diet coke that was doing it to me and to think I didn't even drink the whole thing!! I barely had like 4-6 sips of the stuff and that feeling came back! Now I know for sure I won't be going back to Diet Coke as a drink. That and take into the fact that it contains Aspartame *gags* (see a previous post on "sweeteners"). I wonder if the aspartame is what causes that nasty taste and feeling in my throat? In either case, ick. I'm sticking with my water for sure from now on... oh and my cup or 2 of coffee every other day :D Coffee is not bad for you btw, it's the stuff that you ADD to your coffee that you need to watch out for... keep that in mind next time you go prepare your cuppa, read the label.

I ran my 4 miles this morning and I think I'm improving on my stamina when it comes to running, I could've probably gone an extra one but I didn't want to be there that long since it's the same track the airmen use for their Fit Testing. I'll do my 30 minutes of elliptical work later this afternoon probably to complete my 60 minutes of exercise since I don't do weights today (Gotta rest them muscles so they'll recover and be ready to go again tomorrow!).

I've gotta do some packing today for our trip and I still have a whole heck of a lot of cleaning today, lol! I guess I better get started on it since it's not gonna clean itself !

Have a wonderfully productive day to all and watch what you eat!!
