Friday, January 29, 2010 (Day 6)

It was hard for me to get up and exercise this morning. I was up late helping Cayden with his book report that’s due today. Then he woke me up at 2:30 this morning because his teeth hurt really bad (he got springs put on his braces yesterday and they’re tight). But, by the time I shut off the alarm and used the bathroom, I had convinced myself to at least try to go get dressed and exercise. The house was freezing, but I turned on the heat and by the time I had gotten dressed for the treadmill, I was feeling okay and ready to go. It was sort of a bummer morning. I had to fight for every 20 minutes and every mph. I tried 3.2 the whole time like yesterday, but it wasn’t happening. I ate beef roast last night with spinach and red-wine vinagerette. So I guess eating right the night before isn’t what helped yesterday. Maybe the amount of sleep. I’ll keep working at figuring out the key! I did my hour on the treadmill and, again, feel great. I love the way things are going this week. I’m excited that I’ve worked out every day this week and I’ve decided not to take rest days. I’m not working out hard enough to warrant muscle recovery and all that. I think I’m going to take the kids and dogs to the park tomorrow if it isn’t too cold. I can’t believe I want to do that. I haven’t had motivation to take them to the park for months and months! Even when it was warm. I like it!
