Have you seen this movie? I'm not really a fan of Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead totally creeped me out) but it was really good. I could really identify with poor Dennis building his running habit...and the movie was just plain funny.
I am incredibly sore today after my strength routine yesterday, full body head-to-toe damn it hurts. Thank god for ibuprofen. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical today, and I was pretty proud. I threw a towel over the monitor so I wasn't so focused on the minutes, and watched half the Season 6 finale of Biggest Loser. It was on low settings, but last week I did 10 minutes and my lungs started burning, and that didn't happen until 25 minutes. :-)
Food has not been so good today- old habits reared their heads, and I totally went for the chai latte and the cake donuts. I'm not going to beat myself up about it though. Tomorrow is grocery shopping day with my handsome husband and I'm excited about doing some meal planning. A normal M-F schedule is a wonderful thing!
Next post is giveaway! :-)

Yes, it is 5am and I am still up. I'm using this prepping for night shift to my advantage and I'm seriously proud of myself. I have just hauled my sweaty and (no doubt) fragrant self off the treadmill after an awesome workout tonight, twice as long in time but I upped the interval aspect of it. I slowed the speed down (2.0 instead of 2.5) but I did several times the incline.
Normally I do:
5 minutes at 10.0
5 minutes at 7.5
5 minutes at 5.0
5 minutes at 2.5
But today I did:
5 minutes 10.0 x3
5 minutes at 7.5 x2
5 minutes at 5.0 x2
5 minutes at 2.5 x2
Why the sudden burst of workout frenzy? Couple things.
One- I am seriously inspired by watching Season 6 of Biggest Loser. I've got the episodes on my iPhone, and even watched one while on the treadmill (phenomenal way to not even realize the minutes are flying by!) and these people are amazing. Each person has something that reminds me of myself, and there are little phrases that come to mind at certain points- especially from the trainers. How badly do I want this?? Oh I want this.
Two- I wrote a rant about a family member today. It was cathartic, to get it all off my chest and out there. I've pulled that post now because I believe its served its purpose. I'm on my journey. This is about me. Moving on.
Three- I totally ate too much at dinner. Dinner roll the size of a grapefruit (with butter), half a bowl of caesar salad, pasta and seafood in a white wine sauce, and a glass of wine. *sigh* My only saving grace is that my eating schedule is soo screwed up that the only other thing I ate today was a Slim-Fast shake for lunch. Haven't run that through the WW Points Tracker yet, but I'm cringing at the thought.
But I'm still proud of my workout, I was actually looking forward to my husband going to bed and having some Me Time on the treadmill. That is so not normal, I do Me Time on the couch, but I wanted to do it on the treadmill. Who am I, and what have they done with the real Rebecca??
This journey is starting out really well, but I do worry about momentum. I'm usually good for about two weeks and it starts to peeter out. But I also know that it usually takes about 21 days to create a habit. I can carry on through the 21 days to make these new changes my lifestyle- my habits.
And oh yeah- Go Team Lynn!! :-)
