What a difference......

A few pounds makes!! I had a couple weeks of stress which means, apparently, a couple weeks of stressful eating! I've been working to get back on track this week and I can really tell the difference in just a few pounds. Funny, because for so long I was so used to carrying around so much more! Now I felt really uncomfortable about it and made sure to get back on track.

Just a beautiful morning this morning. To the west the sky was pink. To the east it was golden. No skunks! Can't get better then that! 29:51 was my time - I really thought my pace was slower then that even.

Did pushups after the run and I've been trying to get back up to where I was with those. Almost there. Did an extra set today. Then I ran hills at noon.

You have inspired me to do some stretching. I've had this weird hip thing going on - just feels tight most days although sometimes it is tender. I know it is related to running. How? It feels better when I don't run! So I looked up some stretches. Feels better tonight.

Hope your day was good and you didn't overshoot any airports!

Good morning.

Well, today I am back down 1.2 lbs!! So go figure. Yes, my snacks are mostly pretzels so they don't have any fat but they are salty. Then Mom made a big mistake and bought a can of mixed nuts and left them where I could find them.

Your morning yesterday sounded just perfect! Nice and sunny here this morning but only 32 when we got up which wasn't until almost 8 am!

So, I did the aerobic bike/walking routine today plus the exercises and pushups and situps. Those things have to start getting easier soon I hope!

Not much on our agenda today. Hope you have a good day off.
