I heard the alarm go off at 5:30 this morning. Sat up, and next thing I know I'm looking at the clock and it's 6:00! I had a hard time dragging myself out of bed this morning. I was stiff from last night's Zumba workout. I stayed up too late and I was tired. I did make it down stairs for week 2, day 3 of my runner's program. Three minutes never lasted so long! Last week was all the same. This week is progressing a lot faster. Today's prescription: run 3 minutes/walk 1 minute, repeat x 7. That one minute of recovery time flew by!


breakfast:
baked oatmeal
1% milk

lunch:
broiled salmon
salad (romaine, spinach, carrot, tomato, honey mustard dressing, croutons)
tasted a slice of the new lunch meat.

snack:
multiple slices of homemade bread with jam. I'm disappointed that I fell back into my old ways here.

dinner:
grilled chicken breast, mashed potatoes, corn

I feel so fat! I feel like I'm gaining weight as the days wear on. Which doesn't make sense because I'm working harder, and still avoiding the bad stuff (with a few exceptions). Ugh. I'm not feeling optimistic today. Will it really happen? Will I really be able to loose the weight this time?
