Ugh, I can't wait for spring to come, if it even does. I'm so tired of this snow. I live in pretty much the middle of nowhere so there's lots of places to walk, but with literally 7 feet of snow on the ground everywhere I can't go out and do it. I did however add another gym trip to my day so now I'm going first thing in the morning & at night, taking my niece with me the second time because she loves to follow me around in there and copy what I'm doing.

Oddly enough I find myself sleeping so much better since I added the second gym visit. And it makes me feel great! Sore, but great.

5 days in row I have gotten up at 5 a.m. and walked on my treadmill for 45 min.

Wow I never thought I would be able to go that long.

I'm not going that fast but I do go about 1.75 miles in that time.

Not so bad for me.

It helps that i DVR shows I like and can then skip all the comercial, i HATE comercials. You don't realize that there are almost 20 min of comercials in an hour long show. I finish the show before my 45 min are up and tell my hubby 'see how much time commercials waste' he just looks at me, smiles and shakes his head.

He's heard me rant quite often on my dislike of commercials :)

Off for a walk with the puppies before anymore rain comes my way! I'm nearing the end of my second week of liquids and I'm ready for mushy foods next week. So far, I'm down 30 lbs. since my pre-surgery diet (2 almost two weeks since my banding)! Next week, I start back at the gym! I'm excited not to be hungry all the time.

18 km ( 11.2 mile ) run today. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/442982061

Not fast, but I kept thinking of Anna's status from the other day "no matter how slow you go,....."

And today was more about distance for me. :)

60 mins on elliptical; 6.4 miles; 20 HIITs

step aerobics today..did my 30 min dvd with susan

plus we walked around the super walmart for an hour.......i count that also

Today, I took the puppies for a mile-long walk. Then I went and played two rounds of miniature golf. Good times!

I started back at the gym this morning! 30 minutes on the Arch Trainer. Did a lot of extra walking at work today, issues with a student with a poor attitude. Now I'm off for a walk with the puppies, the weather is really nice outside this evening! Not a cloud in the sky and in the 70s. :)

Happy Tuesday everyone.

It's cold over here in the midwest and the main office door has been stuck all morning. Guess who office is right by the main door? Yours truly so I've been letting everyone in the building. I will definitely reach 10,000 steps today by 4pm. I just love working out at work! :)
