A test

Posted by: getupnow In: General

So far, I have thought about food a lot but I am staying on track with my calories. I am slacking off right now on exercise. I have none planned for today, although I know I should try. I won’t be able to run tomorrow morning. I do plan on starting Monday with running every other day. I am pretty sure that I will never go back to running every day. I have to be able to recognize what keeps me happy and what doesn’t. Running 5k every day does not. Every other day, it is more fun and more relaxing. Every day, it is like a chore. I do need to get in some elliptical time or something today and tomorrow and some strength exercises. But I dont know. I feel like taking a break until Monday.

The test…tonight I am making calzones. Serious temptation food for overeating. Not when in front of people, but after everyone goes to bed and during the time I am making them. I just have to remind myself that I am committed to this ten day thing and hope that it helps.

I was watching national body challenge on FitTV. She has the people lay down on the floor on their back and then pokes around on their belly to see if the fat is between muscle and skin or if it is the deep kind that is more dangerous for heart health. Reminded me of this last nagging thing that I need to do for my overall heart health. I need the stupid belly fat gone.

Okay, your food temptation list from the other day is so similar to mine, it’s scary!

Calzones sound yummy…good luck keeping out of the fridge tonight. Remember: it’s about keeping it going for only 10 days. Now if I can remember to keep it going until just tomorrow myself, I’ll be all set for today (no screw ups to feel guilty about in the morning).

How can she tell where the fat is? I’m going to try to see if I can figure it out myself, but is there a trick?
