Donuts again

I bought a dozen donuts for my Student Body Officers this morning. I have a dozen SBOs. One of them didn't eat her donut. One left. And I really really really really wanted it.

But I ate my apple instead and sent the remaining donut down to the other advisor's classroom.

I know I should be proud of myself and to some degree I am. But I also just really want that donut.

Thursday

I'm running. I'm swimming. I'm stepping in my aerobics class. And I'm only allowing myself one treat a day--if even that. So why do I still feel flabby and fat?

*sigh*

I think part of it is that I'm just tired. Really. And its hard to get up in the wee hours of the morning. Its also sort of tiring to always turn down desserts and treats, but I do it. I would just like to be able to see more of a result in my body shape, you know?

Oh well. We keep on keepin' on.

P to the S--super props for your running! I think the hardest part of any workout program is getting started. When is the 5K you're aiming for?

Running Report

I've been running 3 days a week for the last 3 weeks :)

I'm excited to work up to 4 and maybe eventually 5. Getting up is just so hard.

As Seen on the Internet!

I wanted to share this link to one of my favorite Blogs. The topic is fitness-related, and we can all use a good laugh now and again.

Enjoy the story of The Corporate Challenge!

Running Report

I ran 3 days this week. Including today in the rain. As my body gets more used to running again I plan on amping it up to 4 and then 5 days a week.

It feels good to be forming a routine again.

I Smell Like Chlorine

This morning I began a new phase of my workout program--swimming. I've never been fond of swimming as an exercise. I'm more likely to get in the pool with friends and "bob"--perhaps on a Funoodle. Then you can talk and just have a good time. Actually swimming laps to get fit seemed distasteful and quite frankly, hard. So I've avoided the pool altogether when it came to fitness.

Then my friend, Keith, started bugging me about swimming. Keith is one of my fitness gurus. He's totally ripped--honestly HOT (and if he wasn't two years younger than me I would be ALL over that)--and I can't help but trust him when it comes to working out. And Keith loves swimming. He insists swimming is the best way to trim down your figure and get fit "all over."

So my new plan now arises!

Monday--Cardio via running laps and stairs, etc.
Tuesday--Bike warmup, weight training
Wednesday--Step aerobics
Thursday--Swimming
Friday--SLEEP IN!
Saturday--Run

I'm hopeful. Specifically, my hope is rooted in the idea that I'll drop 2 or 3 inches and tone up my abs and arms. My optimism is also tied into my first swimming workout this morning that rocked. It was hard! But it was fun. Saturday I'm going to purchase a swim cap and goggles. Its gonna be big!

In honor of our upcoming races...
