Okay, so last night I ran on the treadmill instead of the elliptical. You know, to change up. My goal is to be able to run 1 minute. I practice running and walking, running and walking. I had a hard time of it and only was able to run 1/2 minute at a time, but wow I worked hard and got my heart rate up quickly and kept it up for the whole 30 minutes. I was surprised how fast it came down when I was finished. It felt so good. An intense workout really helps with the stress. The calories really added up fast too. And I ate many of them. LOL

Then I saw my therapist and she helped me with my stress too. Today am feeling much better, but not all the way there. Now if only I could have a peaceful day here at work.

One of my rewards to myself is getting my teeth whitened. I am not vain, but you know as you get older, teeth get stained and yellow looking. It is quite expensive to have it through the dentist, but my dentist moved into a new office and to celebrate was having some specials. It was like half off! So I went for it. I had to have impressions taken, and now I have to go back for the stuff, but I have no time to go back! Geez. Looks like I have to take some time off work to go back. Too bad.. I hate missing work. LOL.

I still haven't bought my new swimsuit, which my reward for losing 10 lbs. The one I have is disgusting. It's all bleached out and kind of just hangs on me. It's real thin and lost it's stretch. It used to be blue but now is some kind of ugly brown shade. Why am I avoiding it? I don't know what size to buy.

My eating is doing pretty well so far this week. I have some cashews in the house which are a problem, though. I have been counting them, but they have a lot of calories. On the weekend I did go over because of them. They will be gone soon, so I won't have to contend with that problem anymore. Funny, I have almonds in little packets and I avoid them like the plague, but oh, cashews.... YUM.
