GM.  Awoke bright and early to getting work calls at 6:30 am, 6:34 am, 7 am and so on.  People, my office hours begin at 9 am.  This is the issue with getting to work from home in the afternoons and having my office phone forwarding.  Grrr.

Yesterday, I completed Week One of the C25K.  I mowed half of the lawn then went for my walk/run.  Renee - found a flaw with the App version.  One is not such a big deal, just wish they told you this earlier.  The App runs in the background, but you have to play it with a playlist or album and cannot change the music.  I learned this the hard way.  I went to switch songs, looked at my progress a couple minutes later, and saw that the timer was paused.  Switched music again and sure enough, it automatically paused it.  Grrr.  Okay, so I now know I need to choose a playlist and you cannot fast forward through songs.  But then, at one point, I was on a walk interval and I was like “Wow, why does this feel a lot longer than two minutes?” and I looked at the ipod screen and somehow it got paused on it’s own.  Grrr again! 

Anyway, I made it through.  And food was really good.  I felt a little snacky in the evening and I had some mini-pretzel sticks.  Twice more late at night I went downstairs and had to conciously remind myself that I am not physically hungry, I really don’t need to go into the pantry, and I managed to avoid night time eating.  Yippee!

And I WI again today, now .2 lbs heavier than Friday.  So, -.6 from yesterday, but still.  What???  Eating has been great, exercise has been great.  Sigh.

Moving on … Twins have a half day of school today and I have to pick them up at 11:30 am, bring them back to my office for lunch and a couple more hours of work.  This is why summer sucks, lol.  I put them in summer camp for 5 weeks so far, and I spaced that out.  $1500.  Would be nice if dumbass XH could help out.  Anyway, they don’t start camp until 7/6.

I’ve been thinking the last couple days about college.  I am done with orientation and awaiting my mentor assignment … but I am starting to worry about time management and how the hell I am going to work FT, parent three kids alone, go to school, and find time for ME (working out, or just quiet time even).  I don’t want college to make me fat again, I guess that is what this boils down to.  I just have to look at it as another challenge.  I seem to do well with that.

Food and stuff for today …

B: Raisin bran, 1% milk, strawberries, coffee

S: Apple

L: Turkey on wheat

S: Another pc of fruit

D: Turkey burgers, sweet potato fries

Water - 3 bottles (made yesterdays goal)

Exercise - Yoga/Pilates class tonight.  Tonight’s instructor is the male one and he never does the same Balance track as Zasha, so I don’t get to practice Crow.  I don’t like that.  But Zasha teaches Saturdays, and I can’t go this Saturday (babysitting) soooo it will have to do.

Okay, only 90 minutes of childless work so I better get productive! lol
