Old habits die hard... still no excuse.
Plotted out my reconditioning plan last night after eating too much and drinking too much. Grandma is dying and my response to stress is still to try and obliterate it with food/drink. But today I feel horrible, everything hurts and i am nauseous ...

Snow, Again!!!!
Well, Ran intervals with my dog on Tuesday and Thursday and I am so hyped because for the first time, since track in jr high, running wasn't hard!!! It was challenging, but not dreadful like it used to be. I would guess this is from a combination ...

Fumes and PMS
So, Saturday was a bust. My husband painted the laundry room wall with some mold killer paint and we evacuated the house for the rest of the day. At least we got some exercise walking around outside. Sunday I was tired and achey, but at the end...

Yesterday, actually
Independence Day and the first day of my challenge - it was a good day to start, but also a holiday, thus temptation abounded. I passed up the brownies, the biscuits, the beer and all but one wheat thin with pate. I had entered my whole workout...

Gearing up for Monday
Went in and redid my workout info, will start a new plan on Monday. I like that Freetrainers gives me a detailed routine to follow, I know I can design my own (Trainer, train thyself!) but it is nice to have someone else boss you around sometimes....
