It was a busy day, with lots of errands today. I would have liked to get a little more exercise done on the treadmill but I just didn’t seem to find the time. Tomorrow is going to be another busy day so I suppose I’m going to have to actually set the alarm for a decent hour so I can make sure my exercises are done. Don’t get me wrong, they were done today, but…. since I say 7 hours of treadmill a week, and take Sunday off, and only do an hour the two days I plan for the DVD… well, it means I have to make that hour up on the other 4 days. Usually this means that I do 90 mins on at least two of those four days. So, even though I feel like I failed today, I didn’t really.

So, I’ve got nothing more to add for tonight. Tomorrow is biscotti day, hoping to make two different kinds, possibly three. I found the old recipe I had made before and it makes 48 pieces and after adding up all the ingredients it comes to 61 calories each. They aren’t big, but who would think you could have chocolate-cherry-almond biscotti for 61 calories. We’ll see how they work out (ie. if I can get 48 pieces cut well out of it).

tiny2b - It doesn’t actually seem to be a problem. I started taking more water because of dry skin and chapped lips. It seems to have helped that a little bit. I ran across an article (which I cannot find again) that suggested we should take in liquids based on weight. I think it was suggesting 1/2 oz per pound. At the time I worked it out to about 21 cups a day. Since I take a little water with my protein shakes, and fruit juice in my fruit salad I decided to aim for 18 cups a day. I find that as long as I take it regularly during the day I don’t seem to have much of a problem with it. Especially just after exercising, when I’ve just sweated a lot out.
