I like today. Today, so far, has been great!
A great breakfast, then off to the gym for almost an hour of cardio. I tried splitting up my cardio and strength training this week, doing just one or the other when I went to workout. I liked it! It's been a good way to change up my routine. I split the cardio between the treadmill, elliptical and the bike so time flies by. After that, I headed to the library and got a good chunk of work under my belt. Actually, I'm two days ahead of my research/writ… Continue

My day started off badly. I decided to get on the scale today and saw I am +3 pounds since the last time I weighed. Of course, this upset me. The scale always determines my mood. Had I been logical, I might have thought to myself "hmm, could be the sodium I've been eating lately and maybe this is water rention?" but instead I just got bummed out.

Ever have those days when you think back and feel like you accomplished nothing? I think it's because my initial plan to get to the gym first thing didn't happen.

- research and writing for my credit
- weeded the garden and some cleaning… Continue

I rediscovered the juicy red plum! I never buy them because really, I forgot plums even exist. At the grocery this morning I went to get some cherries and saw plums sitting next to them. And because they were cheaper, I went for the plums! My mom used to pack plums when my family would go on day trips when we were little kids. Isn't it funny how foods bring back memories, the same way songs or smells can? I sliced the plum with half a banana and a couple cubes of watermelon for an afternoon snac… Continue

Today was a good enough day. I got a great lower body workout in at the gym, got caught up on the research and writing I needed to have done that fell by the wayside the last couple of days, and I ate okay. I'm out of fruits and veggies (I've got half a cucumber and a yellow pepper in the fridge and that's IT) and that never happens. I hate that because then I feel like I have no snacks. So, tomorrow morning I'm going to get up early and go to the grocery store first thing to stock up for the we… Continue
