I am starving

It is 2:00 PM local time and I am starving. I only had lunch two hours ago. I am trying to hold off another half hour until I have a snack (cheese stick and almonds). I am just feeling poppy. I have now officialy been doing this, this, weight loss/lifestyle change for three weeks and I don't feel any different. Except hungry! I have only missed two days at the gym (OK - if you count that Sunday where I tried to work out and got one mile in then it would be three days). UGH! Pants don't even feel remotely loose yet. I think when that happened last week I was high or something.

I got the best night sleep last night ever. I was asleep by 9:45 at the latest. When the alarm went off at 4:35 I was out of bed. Then it took me a while to get out the door. I had laid out all my clothes but forgot a sports-bra (a necessary evil) and then couldn't find the ipod. Ended up being only two minutes later than usual but it felt much later. I think I am going to set my alarm for five minutes earlier so I can get to the gym that much sooner. Now that I am doing a five minute warm up and 45 minutes solid of cardio I am there a little longer.

Did arms today at the gym and then 45 minutes walk/run. I increased my speed on the running to 5.3 but that didn't make much of a difference in the long run (no pun intended). I still did just over 3.2 miles. I was sweating and by the end my right ankle was bothering me. Any notion of going a little longer was squashed.

I have dorm duty tonight but I think DQ is taking it for me. He will be out of town from Thur- Sun so I am taking his Thursday night duty. It will be great if he DOES do it for me so I can get right to bed! I will sleep in on Thursday morning since I can't leave. DQ's flight is really early in the AM so I can't leave the boys alone! I am going to ask my boss if I can work out in the AM or after lunch - here at work - rather than try to go to the gym. Friday is REALLY tricky but I might be able to squeeze something in after sports?! Sorry if I am sounding redundant but it helps me to talk it all out. Blogging is also helping keep me accountable. If I write it down, maybe someone will read it. I am not sure who is reading this but hopefully someone is!

Today at school we have an informal dress day. That means everyone can wear whatever they want. For me that meant flip-flops! YEA!! I have a flip flop obsession. My favorite brand are Eliza B's. www.elizab.com A little pricey but so worth it! Anyway - I am not too sure if it was a good move as there is not a lot of support compared to tennis shoes. I am hopeful that I can still move tomorrow!

til then -
