This morning I got out of bed at 4:45 to workout! My husband even felt guilty for staying in bed, so he got up too! I walked on the treadmill and did a few reps on the butterfly machine. And yes, my back muscles aren't happy with me for scrubbing the floors the other day...
EDIT: they gave me the night off so I only worked the lunch shift -- I'm heading to the gym!
TODAY (2): elliptical and strength training :-)
It's amazing how much we depend on food -- my boyfriend's dog (from childhood, he had it for about 11 years) just died, and the first thing I said was "Do you want me to make you something special for dinner?"
Interesting...

blech......went to the gym and made the mistake of looking in the mirror while i was changing into my bathing suit to go into the hot tub. not a good plan.
Amberelise -- can I join on the accountability train?? I'm a waitress with a crazy schedule, so I'm saying, and I'm committing NOW...that I will work out EVERY SINGLE DAY that I don't have a double shift. A double is a workout in itself because I walk non-stop for about 12 hours!!
where do you waitress that they give you 12 hour shifts? or was that an exaduration? i waitress and they only work me like 3 hours at a time...the longest i worked -ever- was one sunday when i was supposed to be a split shift, but i ended up only having 15 mintues between shifts because i got cut really late and my tables camped FOREVER...i thnk i was on my feet for ~10 hours. that night i had knee pain like no other, but it would be nice to be able to get more than a 2 hour shift in at a time...
It's a really busy restaurant, especially at lunchtime. Sometimes when I work a double there's a break in between, but sometimes you have to go straight through.
Sometimes it's no fun, but I like it and the pay is good! Also, when you think about it, it really is great exercise. I mean, I walk basically non-stop the whole time, and I'm carrying heavy trays of drinks and plates of food!
I love watching Biggest Loser while I work out!! I also love yoga just because the feeling of stretching is soooooooo wonderful. Sometimes when I'm bored at home I just stretch because it feels so good....and I stretch every morning in the shower while my conditioner sets!
Amberelise -- 30 MINUTES on the stairclimber??? whoa whoa WHOA!! that's impressive!! congrats!!
Today was actually my first day back at ballet after a spine injury a few months ago...it was really frustrating because I knew how to do everything I just couldn't make my body do it!! But I WILL go back next week. I really did miss dancing :-)
If it's more than what you would have done before then it is completely worth it and it counts!
I barely made the exercise in tonight! I've been working on my Halloween costume all night, but popped in my ESPN Bodyshapping Abs video once I cleaned up the arts & crafts mess. *whew*
What time is it?

We all feel that way, don't worry.
