Is it Friday Yet????

I am SO ready for Friday, it isn't even funny.  lol.

Today, I got out of bed and I was so tired.  But I got on my treaddy as usual because today is the end of my workout week and WI is tomorrow and it is all just part of the better health stuff.  So I got on.  My goal is for 40 minutes now but I was running behind but got a good solid 30 in which is what I used to do every day.  Funny thing is that 30 minutes feels like so little time now.  Even though I only added the 10 minutes to the workouts, I kinda feel jipped when I don't do the whole 40!  lol.  Who knew I would actually be bummed to not get in my entire workout. 

I alternate doing jogging and hills.  So 2 days of jogging and 2 days of hills on the treaddy.  Today was 1-10 incline 2 times and then 2 to 4 to 6 to 8 incline...and then 4 minutes of cool down.  So it was a toughie.  Those hills to 10 incline seriously kick my bootay and take names!!  lol.  But that is all part of the fun of it.  I enjoy making up different workouts.  And sometimes I do hills AND some jogging.  Watch out!!  I am tricky....

So tomorro is my WI and I had a superfantastic week but I also know that I lost 3 pounds last week....so I am not expecting too much of this ole body that sometimes likes to hang on to my progress for an extra week.  How kind of it.

This eating week was very good.....I was right on track..and the weekend is almost here and time for me to be able to have a little more freedom.  LIke I said..I am a nazi during the week but on the weekend I loosen up and have more freedom and I really like the way this works for me. 

Well, off to go and talk to a few of my blog buddies!!

Onward and downward!

Hey!

KBB, so good to see you.  I am so glad the job is a good fit, that you love the house, have an easy commute and continue to pursue your goals!  So great!!!  Hope Ry guy and Adam are well too.  I would love to come see you guys... just as soon as I accrue some vacation.  Hope your treddy mojo will rub off on me.  Have been awake since 1 a.m. (funny in that some people haven't even been to bed yet) so hoping I'll fall back asleep for a few hours and then get myself to the gym.  Figuring I would just lay in bed and watch coverage of Ike, so might as well do it at the gym.

 Yup, I fell off, got run over, and have been dragging behind ever since.  Can you believe a year has passed since I left PA and arrived in CA skinny and healthy?  Groan!  Can't believe I am back to ground zero, well, not exactly but it feels that way.  The job stuff has really been a huge blow to my work ego and has added to my eating.  Having that idiot challenge the unemployment was just insult to injury.  I am so grateful for a new job that I love, and a pay increase from CA to boot.  I don't think I will feel closure until noon Tuesday when the hearing is over and it is decided one way or the other, and I won't have to see that creep again.

Thanks for the motivational pep talk.  You are so right. I hate, hate, hate the way I feel about my physical self right now = ( and yet I am the only one who can do anything about it.  This should be the time of my life and I am wasting it being fat and unhappy about the way I feel in my clothes.  So d-u-m-b!!!!!  Everyday when I get up and see a row of size 6 that I can't even stuff my leg into up to the knee... I am miserable.  I reach for a twelve and a top that pulls across my chest and then I head down to the kitchen for comfort. 

I do have to find a life of my own that doesn't revolve around the kids.  Chan is a peach, and requires little care and keeping freeing me up to pursue interests of my own... if I weren't feeling so crappy about myself I might do just that.  Jade still creates drama, from a distance but I am so much better at managing that.  The boys (almost-men) are great.

Alright... back to bed.  So glad you stopped in.  Let's not be strangers.  I like to think about our own gal-pal reunion... even if it requires a plane ticket!  xoxo

Go girl!

That's great that you got on the treadmill.  And you've been doing it consistently.  That's the key, as I'm sure you know.  Keep up the great work, girl!
