No sink means Restaurant food!

Our plumbing issues continue. I fixed the bathtub drain on Saturday but our kitchen sink is still backed up and we can't get anyone out to look at it until tomorrow. It makes doing dishes hard though I have been able to work out a system with a washbucket we use as a drink chest on the deck. This weekend we ate at Taco Bell,Papa John's AND KFC. Gastronomic!

Today: 3 mile run ending with a couple of short sprints and one long one

and a heath bar :)

Worthless and Weak

My workout monday was great but the rest of the week has been a real struggle. Everyone who knows me knows that my weight issues lie completely in the diet arena. This arena is a 3 ring circus and 2 of the rings are always on fire. Yesterday I ate from the time I got up to the time I went to bed. Seriously. I could not eat enough. I just took a peek at my s-i-l's blog and she has been doing fantastic things, oh like losing more than 25 lbs!! And starting to run. Okay so yes she was once an uber athlete and I will use the excuse, once an uberathlete, always one but truth is, I know it wasn't that easy. She has 9 inches of height on me and only 1 dress size difference. I haven't seen her in months as she lives about 7 hours away but I can see her in my head and God She's Even More Gorgeous Than Ever. This and the fact that I went to a health fair and was told I still have a smidge over 25% body fat- I should be throwing out every fattening thing in my cupboard and starving myself but I'm not. I'm eating ice cream and potato chips AFTER eating pot roast and white bread with butter. OMG. I'm a pig.

No Weekend Warrior

I need to make a committment to hit one LONG workout each weekend. I am missing my weekend warrior partner with J being banned from doing much besides walking for at least another week or 2. Or longer for some things.
So I worked around the house some. Raked and bagged a ton of leaves, cleaned the deck and moved the furniture to accomodate the firebowl. Committed to painting the hall bath from the cabinet up, it's going to be a chore because there is black paint to be covered. Didn't get far with that. I feel sluggish. I think I know why. Too much food, too little workout.
Sample- Vino's pizza and beer on Saturday. Oh my. Always, ALWAYS a mistake. I have no self control.
I am GOING to get a good workout in today. I'm going to go for a Jillian buttbuster and try to leave enough time to end with extra cardio. I wrote it, therefore I must do it. Right?

OUTSIDE!

Went outside today. Yea! 4 miles of slow and steady. Felt good. Finished with a push and felt strong-still had plenty of gas in the tank.
