Gym
I had a gym morning today. I woke up and I just didn't feel like I had it in me to do a good run, so I went to the gym. I am really glad I have that membership! I like being able to do different things.
So I did 30 minutes of cardio, 3 different things. First I did the bike for 10 minutes. I find the bike very boring for some reason, so I try to keep that short! Then I ran for 10 minutes. I wish I remembered the distance. 1.2 miles maybe - I was running hard! Then I did The Stairway to Hell for 10 minutes. Doing them for such a short amount of time really made them seem easy. Easier, I guess!
And then I lifted weights. Did a mix of upper and lower.
I was going to tell you, I had been so unbelievably crabby in the morning for about a month. I was actually going to go to the doctor because it was so unusual for me. But then I realized that when the afternoon rolled around, I was no longer crabby. And what happens in the afternoon? LUNCH! So I thought maybe I wasn't eating enough in the morning. And I thought about it and I really wasn't. I was eating a bowl of oatmeal (130), an egg (70), and some fruit (50). So that's 250 calories after a 6+ mile run! Or some other workout. So then I really thought it was food. So now I've gone back to making my oatmeal with fat free milk (+70) and having another egg (70). And it has made all the difference in the world. Funny how just 140 calories can make such an amazing difference.

Hmmm....just think what ham and eggs would do for you!
I'm thinking about maybe joining that Everybody Fitness on highway 8 there for the winter months just to give me the option of doing some different things, too. TM gets awfully boring after a while. Well, not even after a while!
I did 3 miles on the TM again today because we had a hard freeze overnight!! My thermometer was not registering this morning so don't know the temp for sure but everything out there is white with frost. So, the garden is done. We did cover the tomatoes so hope we saved them for a while yet. This is 3 weeks earlier than our average frost according to the weather people. But we have had it this early before, too, so not unheard of. Definitely unwelcome though.
Have a good breakfast and a good day!
Really - I should add some ham! Or bacon....yum....bacon......
Do it! I just like having options. Makes me feel less trapped.
I can't believe you are already dealing with this kind of weather. Such a bummer. Did you save the tomatoes then?
Yeah, I think we saved them. We covered them again last night although it appears this morning that we didn't have to.
