blah blah blah

couldn't think of a catchy title for today...sorry!

I was able to get in my workout this morning. YEA ME! DQ didn't have to leave until 6:30 AM so I kept my routine. I did my arms. I think I need to increase the weight on the bicep curls/tricep extensions. I am currently doing thirty pounds and it isn't very taxing. It isn't always easy but today I didn't feel like I was really working them. So maybe I will up it five or ten pounds. Then again I meet with the trainer on Saturday so maybe he will have some new exercises or some thoughts for me.

Cardio cardio cardio! UGH! I wasn't in the mood today. I did the five minute warm up on the elliptical, then arms, then I jumped on the treadmill. Walk/ran for thirty three minutes. Then twelve back on the elliptical. I think I worked off another 100 calories on the elliptical but it was a strain. That said I have a constant dialog in my head when I am working out. It goes something like this "If Holden can do it, so can you!...think of all the clothes in your closet you can't wear!...think of the scales on Friday!" it normally gets me through the last bit of the work out.

I am weighing myself tomorrow but I am not working out. I can't even get to the gym until 4:30 PM - OK maybe I will get over there - but that means I can't get the boys until almost 6:00 PM and that will make them sad. Hmmm...it's OK to take a day off, right? I have only taken two days off from working out since April 21. One day won't be too bad?

Back to the scales...I am a little worried. I started my period yesterday (sorry John!) and I am not sure if I am retaining water or not. I just don't feel like I am losing weight (are you tired of hearing this now??!!!) although Wednesday night a colleague asked me if I was losing weight. Gave me a little pep in my step!

til tomorrow -
