I'm still exercising - I felt better on Monday after I jumped on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Yesterday I did an exercise DVD in the morning (I now know how important those morning/mid-day workouts are) and another 45 mins on the treadmill in the evening. My weight is back down, thankfully. Today, I did Yoga after lunch and then 70 minutes on the treadmill. I have also cranked my speed up to 3.2 mph, which may not seem like much for a normal-strided person, but trust me when I say I have VERY short legs and a super short stride, so that's speed-walking to me!
Yesterday I started tracking my food again, which helped to make me feel more in control. Although, maybe not since I ate 4 donuts... According to my Fitday, I still burned more than I ate though.
Today has been better. I had toast with jam (no butter) and a banana for breakfast, left-over dinner for lunch (lean roast beef with mushrooms and onions, mashed sweet potatoes [plain], a small amount of white mashed potatoes and steamed cauliflower), and 1/2 c of lemon sorbet for a snack. I just need to eat some fruit and find a veggie for dinner, maybe a piece of bread, and I'm good. I've also been pretty good on the water-front.
Hubby is leaving again tomorrow morning, so I'm bummed about that. But, we've hardly had a good VISIT. He's just been on his computer or sleeping nearly the entire time and I've had to work for a lot of the time. Other than that, I've been doing what I normally do when he's not here (read, watch BL on my computer, run errands, take care of kids, clean & cook) and, other than being able to shop sans small children, there hasn't been any impact to his being home. No, I have to take that back - he did help our oldest daughter with a school project last night. I was grateful for that because I'm never good at these school projects and they aren't any fun at all. He's more creative so he enjoys that sort of thing. I did notice that he got irritated with the kids by last night but was trying not to say anything because he gives me a hard time if I complain about the kids driving me crazy while he's away. When he's in another state, taking care of 3 kids seems easy. When he's home for 2 days, he remembers that it isn't so easy.
Anyway, enough complaining. I still have work to do tonight so I'd best get on with it.
