Back at it!

Thank goodness Ang sent me a text at 4:56 am (my time) cause I sure didn't hear my alarm going off! But I did hear my Wonder Twin being happy I'm home! Much better way to wake up than an alarm.

As you know, I didn't sleep well last night. But, naturally, I was crazy deep sleeping when 5 am rolled around! That's just the way it goes! I sure am feeling it tonight, though. I'm really tired and plan on hitting the sack in the very near future.

Just like I had a hard time waking up, I had a hard time with pilates today! Shauna told me that she had something planned that would allow us to tone it down to more "intermediate" levels, if needed. Thus confirming my belief that she is pushing me to the next level.

We had fun today but, wow, was it challenging. Even after just a week I could really tell a difference. And, funny, tonight I really feel it in my ankles! We work on strengthening them but that's a very new thing for me. So it makes sense, I guess, that the muscles might not be as strong and lose what they have gained more rapidly.

And I did run to and from today, although it was hard to talk myself into doing it. I did hills at lunch, too. Mostly to get out of the office. I'm committed to taking lunch.

Now, let me tell you something nuts. Today? My Nike+ died!! I can't believe it! But Bart gave that to me 2 Christmases ago, so I guess it is gonna happen. I have another pod or bud around here that I will try, but I am pretty sure I saw something that said it couldn't connect to the receiver. Which makes it seem like the part that connects to the iPod is what died.

Now on to the miracle. It seems like I only gained about 3.5 pounds on this trip. How that is possible, given what I ate (and how much!), I cannot even comprehend. I'm befuddled.
