Marlene’s Mishaps & Motivations

I went to the gym again this morning - that’s THREE days in a row for me - WOW!  53 minutes on the elipticle - I learned something new today - all that blah, blah, blah that my trainer keeps telling me about stretching after working out - don’t tell him I said this - but he was right - I had a horrible leg cramp in the back of my shin that felt like a little rubber ball under my skin. . .it hurt sooooo bad - it happened when I was driving out of the parking lot from the gym - not one of my finer driving moments - I was getting text messages left and right that my boss was "operating without a net and needed me to get in immediately."  Well, I had already decided I was going to go to the tanning salon - so I went to the salon - I thought it might help me stay on track a bit - then I was sooo hungry (bad thing) the Slim Fast I drank at 7 a.m. had totally worn off by 10:30 - the closest place to the tanning salon was Fazoli’s - I got some backed pasta with cheese and 3 meatballs - and the darn thing came with 2 breadsticks - that I am sad to report didn’t even make it out of the darn parking lot — have you ever smelled those?  Mouthwatering!  They taste as good as those silly yogurt commercials make you think the yogurt tastes. . .on a positive note - I did get a diet coke!

Then I’m at work - ready to "accidently" trip my boss when he kept walking by my office, and my cell rings - it’s my friend, Lisa - who, last May, decided on a Tuesday she was going to sell her business and move to Costa Rica - and left three days later.  We emailed back and forth - and I told her I would come and see her after I lost weight so I could wear a swimsuit on the beach without looking like a beached whale. . .anyway, she came back to visit - so I told her to come over for dinner tonight - we ate salad (which I put way too much salad dressing on), garlic bread (did I mention I am a total carb freak?) and speghetti with meatballs that my husband had made. . .I’m feeling a bit Italian today - and I bet my breath will keep away all the evil ghosts hanging around (get it - garlic?!)

Anyway, tomorrow morning, I work out with Todd the Torturer (my personal trainer). . .I’m actually looking forward to it.  I also can’t wait for my bike to come in - it was such a beautiful day today I would have loved to go for a bike ride with my kids.

I’m still trying to figure out what is up with fish oil? 

I hope all of you had a great day!  I’m really tired - I haven’t slept well in a long time - any suggestions on how to sleep better at night?  I feel so much weaker about saying "No" to food when I’m tired.

Thanks for listening!

Marlene
