Well, I have a lot of excuses for not blogging, logging my weight, or exercising last week, but I’m proud to report that I have not made excuses this week.

This afternoon, I had a lot of excuses: excuses that normally would have kept me from going to the gym.  But, today, I pushed through my excuses and just went.  I got out of work two hours later than expected, and had someone yelling at me (always a pleasure).  When I got to the gym, I realized that I’d left my I-pod in the office (and I wanted to run with it).  I have a TON of work to do tonight and a very busy week ahead.  But I drove to the gym and just went.  I didn’t really give myself an out.  I planned to go and I did it.  I’m really pleased!

Today I walked 5 minutes warm up and cool down and then alternated 60 seconds of running with 90 seconds of walking for 20 minutes.  My running was steady but good.  I am going to keep going until it feels really good.  I feel like I’m gaining control of things again.  I have these visions of myself as a size ten (at my lowest weight in recent memory), and I really want to get back there.  I won’t even let people take pictures of me because I just hate how I look (ugh, and I have to get a new driver’s license photo on Wednesday).  Sorry, I am on a tangent.  I’ll weigh in this week, for better or worse.  I fell off the wagon with my “very bad day” last week, but I’m not letting it get me totally down.

Food for today:

Breakfast: Cocoa Krispies with Milk

Lunch: Yoplait Light Yogurt, 100 calorie pack of goldfish, box of raisins

Dinner: WW Baked Ziti, 2 sourdough rolls with 2 tbsp light margerine, 1 large apple

Snack: 1 regular cupcake with frosting, 1 cup of skim milk (Okay, I guess that I made an excuse to eat this.  I didn’t have a big lunch, and they were fresh out of the oven…)
