Currently rockin’ out to the Katy Perry tune, which is my fave song right now. But it also describes how I seem to be running these days.
I got home last night and somehow conned myself into getting on the elliptical even though I had sworn to myself earlier that I would NOT work out because I was still sick and sore. I accomplished this by promising myself that I only had to do 30 minutes, just to get back into the swing of things (I knew this was a lie right away, but I humored myself.) Sure enough, as the 30 minutes was approaching, I said to me “just til this episode of Charmed is over” I have it on DVD from Netflix. So without commercials the episodes run about 40 minutes… Well the episode ended and I gave myself the “Come on, you’re less than 5 minutes to 45 minutes.” Ok FINE! I’ll do the 45 minutes but seriously that is IT! It’s after 8pm for heaven’s sake. And it takes my body and mind a while to wind down after working out. So I stopped at 45 minutes.
But YEAH, 45 minutes on the elliptical last night! And I really had to talk myself out of going for more. Cause I would have been up half the night. As it was I couldn’t fall asleep until after 11 which is WAY late for me. But I let myself sleep in til 6am (I normally get up at 5) so it’s all good.
AND AND AND - I got up and did 45 minutes on the elliptical this morning! Yay for me! I’m still sick. I’m still sore. But I’m doing it. I have a raging stress headache right now which totally sucks. And the meds I’m taking are doing NOTHING for it. Actually, that’s not true. They’re taking the worst of the edge off. So I guess it could be worse. I’m grateful for that (begrudgingly!)
So, weigh in this morning - 150.4. Down two pounds from yesterday. Ha! Take THAT you stupid scale! (now that I’ve taunted the Scale Gods, I’ll probably weigh in at 175 tomorrow!)
But I feel good emotionally & mentally. I’m on track. And so, I’m wearing my new Billabong black tshirt that I picked up on a shopping trip with my little sis a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been dying to wear it. Since it’s a Juniors large, it’s not very forgiving. Ah, but I’m wearing it and loving it! 
Hot or cold - today is a good day!

I’m worn out just from reading about your exercise. You go, girl!
I was doing the same thing a few weeks ago. Working out till I dropped. Then I took a couple months off and it’s like I’m back at the beginning. Think this is going to kill me.
