Sheesh! I had a long blog all typed up & it disappeared. I guess maybe I gave too much info in it anyway.
Last night I was bad - no exercise, just too drained AND ate a Snickers bar (which I shouldn't have had in the house in the 1st place). In my blog that disappeared, I analyzed WHY I ate it (which is where I probably posted too much info. LOL) But, anyhow, I did analyze it and I know what's got me under a bit of stress right now.
Having been so bad did increase my resolve for today though. I got through 10 min. of the advanced abs online over a.m. break. I have tons to get done tonight after work, so I am SCHEDULING my walking and plan to do it AS SOON as I get home, even if it is still hot out.

I am supposed to be in my car going to the gym to do my leg workout. I don't want to go. I am tired and hungry. I have been doing so well this week, I don't want to lose my momentum. Gotta Go. Go anyway. GET OFF THE COMPUTER! JUST GO! Ok, here I go...I am commiting to writing the follow-up in less than 1 hour from now...I will complete this workout.
So, if anyone is listening...harrass me in 1 hour...ask me if I went...Either way I will let you know how it goes. Kateri
PS It is 8:12 PM ETD

I did it! I completed my workout and it feels great! (Thank you Samantha for asking and encouraging - if I had still been sitting on my computer that probably would have pushed me out the door). I have to share with everyone what made me push so hard during my workout despite not wanting to go.

I got in my car and NPR was playing the Democratic Convention in Denver, my home city. NO - This isn't about politics - Anyway, they were playing a clip from Martin Luther King's "Dream" speech. As I sit and listened I was motivated to make this the best workout I could because I have a dream too. It may be smaller and it may not have global reaching effects, but it is my dream. It is my dream to be fit and healthy for once - for me, my family, my husband who is a soldier with many deployments under his belt, and for my toddler who is fighting cancer.

I must have dropped some food on the keyboard because the site is acting very strange for me tonight. I logged in, came to the blog page and it said I was logged in as someone else. Then I clicked on my blog and I was myself again. - oooooooh spooky!

I have had some great workouts this week:
Monday - bodybuilding phase 2- 3 days/week - week one w/out 2
Tuesday - 30 minutes step aerobics and some Wii yoga
Wednesday - bodybuilding phase 2- 3 days/week - week one w/out 3
Thursday - 30 minutes step aerobics and some Wii yoga

plus walking 1.5-2 miles a day pushing the stroller.

Tomorrow is going to be a really busy day for us so I may take the day off and do the weight lifting on Saturday instead.
