Day 4

Hello all,

We got our butts up early again and ran, kinda, at 5am this morning. Both of us were a bit stiff and sore from the class on Tuesday still, but we went. I always seem to have a problem when walking/running. :( I always have to go to the bathroom about halfway though. Sometimes that's a good 15 min walk from a bathroom which is not easy. It's super frustrating and I can't figure out how to stop it. It affects the quality of our run and the time. And down right pisses me off. *sigh* Anyway.

At work today (kindy/daycare) it was one of the kids birthdays, so of course, cake. But not just any cake, THREE chocolate cakes with chocolate frosting. Being on quick start I couldn't even have the tiniest taste and it smelled SOOOOOOOOO good! Had to make it, make the frosting, frost it, cut it and serve it. Then dump all the little bits in the bin (this was painful) and watch all the munchkins eating their delicious cake. Jealous much? Naaah..... man it looked good. I didn't have any. Not even a little frosting. So proud of myself but it was SO hard!!! I had to eat a sugar free lolly just to keep myself from eating it!

So, no picture today. We may be reconsidering this early morning stuff, and postponing it until evenings. It's a pain in the butt getting up that early, then I'm tired for the rest of the day. blah.

Well, that's all for today. Eating plan still going excellently! Lets hope the scales are good to us on Sunday/Monday.

Slack, again.

Thanks Hope.

We've been incredibly slack... again. I've been busy with studying for exams and work and Melanie's been busy with more hours as her manager's away and she's the assistant. We went for a short walk last night and that helped, especially after I was in a horrible mood all day. I feel like I'm going backwards. I'm not eating poorly, but I feel like I'm gaining and too afraid to look. My exams will soon be over, but it's nearing Christmas time and working in retail Melanie's hours will go up and so will mine (I'll be doing Santa Photos for the season) as well as my kindy job. It'll be harder to squeeze in a decent workout as often as we'd like to (in normal conditions). I'm not feeling very optimistic about much weight loss right now and that sucks because summer's coming. Most of my clothes from last year I can't fit into right now. There was no point in taking pictures, there wouldn't have been any loss.

Just feeling very stressed over school and everything and not losing, and not getting any exercise on a regular basis right now is making me feel crappy.

I think that's it for now. I really don't know what more to say.

Slack asses.

Sorry Hope! lol

We've been majorly slack. All is well here. Finally got to the gym today after a week of not getting a good chance to go. I feel good after working out today. I biked for 30 mins at around 95ish - 110ish. Felt like my legs were going to fall off but I did it. Then I pumped some weights for another hour and a bit. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow.

This week coming up is my last week of classes before a week study break and then exams. EEK! I have four this term. Educational Psychology, Language and Literacies, Sustainability and Children's Literature. I'm a tad worried about they Psych and Sustainability ones. I'm not scientifically minded and there are so many theorists in psychology it's rather confusing. Thankfully most of it is based on multiple choice.

Then I have about an 8 week break or so. I'll be working at my kindy (day care) and on a Santa photo set which should be fun. I definitely need to save up some money for next term.

My weight's been steady. But really that's to be expected as we haven't been exercising as often. Sadly it's beginning to go into the rainy season which will cut down on our evening walks as well.

This is my short update for now. :)
