Checking In

Let's see, so we've been doing this a year. That makes me a bit sad--it seems like only yesterday we started. Time goes too fast sometimes. Guess I must be getting older :^)

My goals are pretty much still the same, although I suppose I should go look up exactly what they were a year ago to make sure. I am definitely better about how much I eat, and my exercise has been fairly consistent over the past year. My next step is to increase what I can do. So I'm going to focus on running I think, and on improving my speed for a certain amount of time. I don't want to run a marathon or anything crazy like that, but maybe some short races. We'll see how that plays out. I first have to get up the courage to run outside and get off the darn treadmill!! I am completely dependant on the speed settings to control my pace.

An update on this week since I think I only posted Tuesday. I survived Wednesday's class as well. One guy is going to be a pain in my butt. My first "homework" assignment was for everyone to send me an email so I could put their address in a contact list. Well, he STILL hasn't done it. Is that really a lot to ask? And he doesn't listen for crap. Asked me to repeat myself like 5 times. Finally the guy sitting next to him was just like "Go on--I'll take care of him." It was crazy. My food on M-W isn't great. I have to figure that out. Monday I had a nutragrain bar and Wed I had a muffin. Then I munched when I got home after 9 pm. Plus there was zero exercise. There's no way I can run or walk or do a video at 10 pm and then get up at 5 am to start all over again. I was soooo tired yesterday at work it was ridiculous.

An update on yesterday--no exercise and food was poor. I met some friends after work and we went to Pei Wei in Towson and then to Caribou. It was fun, but the asian food was higher in calories than what I would usually eat AND we had campfire mochas for dessert while we hung out at Caribou. I estimate the day at 2000 calories. And then all that garbage caused havoc in my stomach. Blah! It took several Tums to be able to get to sleep last night.
