4:30 AM comes early!

It is the big joke in the Q family - Mr. Q, my father in law, always says "5:30 AM comes early" as he heads off to bed. So this morning, when I was up at 4:10 AM, I thought to myself "4:30 AM comes early!" I wasn't going to get up until 4:50 but I was tossing and turning since midnight so I thought I might as well get up. I have meeting all day today - back to work - let's hope I am able to stay up!

I have come up with every reason possible not to go to the gym for the last week or so. My main reason is that the show I am watching on my ipod hasn't been downloading properly. BUMMER! What did we do before ipods?!!! Heaven forbid I actually listen to music when I wake up!! So I finally picked a new show to download - Mad Men. Today I watched the first episode of Season One (season two started this week I think.) It is a good show! I biked for a little over 50 minutes. Went about 10 miles and burned over 250 calories. I am not burning as many calories as when I ran/walked, but my back is still bothering me. I finally went to the doctor last week and he is sending me to PT. I am SO excited. It is bad then you have to get off the treadmill because your back hurts.

I am back to work today and that should help my eating get back on track. I always do well with structure, and being back at work provides that structure. I eat breakfast at 6:30 AM, snack at 9:30ish, lunch after 12 noon, another snack at 2:30 PM and dinner at 6:00 PM. Works for me!

I hope you have a great day. My boys go back to school today too. I will try to post pics!

Til tomorrow -
Mummy Q.
