So this weekend I couldn’t get into my blog…we got a new computer recently and I couldn’t remember my password. So here is a collection of things I thought about this weekend.

Saturday’s Workout

So I am on my elliptical doing 33 minutes on the Random setting. Totally rockin’ it and I am sweating. Then I notice wow, I stink! Which translates the workout clothes need to go in the wash. Then I realize since I started working out regularly this is the first time I have needed to throw the workout clothes in the was because they stink. I must have really worked it this week. Which I did–I am following this 6 week workout plan which is really pushing me to the next level. Then as my mind starts to wander I start to think about how much I hate the feeling of sweating. Which is why I loved to be a swimmer–you sweat but you can’t tell. But I wanted to change my negative thoughts about sweating to something positive so I am telling myself that each sweat drop represents one fat molecule. I was thinking “bring on the sweat” by the end of my workout.

Great Book

I have to recommend a book–Mindless Eating by Brian Wasinik (http://www.mindlesseating.org/index2.htm)

This book will definitely be one of my rotating regular reads.  It talks about what the author calls the Mindless Margin–the 100-200 calories that we each day that we could cut out without being hungry. It chronicles the authors and others research and then puts together practical suggestions.  Check it out.

Biffing it on the Stairs

So I am on my way downstairs to check on the laundry…and I lose my footing. Well you know the rest of the story…luckily nothing broken. Just a lot of soreness and bruising. Which meant no workout. Hopefully tonight I will feel good enough to work out.

T-Minus 7 days…

Til I am back on plan. My “break” probably lasted one week to long but I am fired up to get started again and knock out my next 30 lbs.
