Kickin' off Week 2

Week number 2 of 12, day number 8 of 84.

This morning was the first time in a week that my body didn't hurt. I mean, it's pretty dang sad when it hurts to sit down on the toilet...ya know what I mean? So when I woke, I was very motivated to jump on the treadmill and get my cardio done. I loaded new music onto my iPod last night, so there was even more incentive to get going. There is one song (can't remember the name or artist...did I mention that my memory isn't what it used to be?) where they say "Shake it, shake it, shake it" I couldn't help but shake everything that I had which, in turn, got my heart rate up to 170. Fearing a heart attack, I quit that move. Could you imagine? I'd go flying off the back of that thing, hit the wall and crumble into a heap. Not a pretty sight or ending for this girl. So anyhow, once I got my heart rate back to the 115-120 area, I took notice that my equipment is dusty. Gonna have to get the Swiffer up there...or maybe I could coax the Goldens over and have 'em wag their tails a bit on my stuff. That might be difficult though. Ever since I fell off the balance ball, they've stayed clear of the room. As a matter of fact, they sort of figured out what my "fall zone" is. The three dogs lay about 15 feet down the hall, just to be safe. Wimps.

Yesterday was my "free day" and the foods that I consumed were those that I've been off of for a week. White carbs. I can't tell you the last time I ate a pancake, but lemme tell ya, I HAD to have one at brunch. With blueberry compote. And marscapone. Home fried potatoes. Champagne...two glasses thank you very much. I got quite sickly from the carb overload and ended up tossing my cookies in the car on the drive home. Not sexy and lesson learned. Day 7 will be very different this week!

Ciao!
