MILES:

I ran three miles with my sister's dog this morning before breakfast. They weren't FAST miles but they were miles! Then I rode my bike into work (ten mile round trip). I have my weight lifting circuit planned for this evening :)

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Morning LW's!!!!! Sorry I haven't started M&M the last few days!!! I try really hard to post early but most days after I get 3 grandkids to school and then get to the office there is work on my desk that has to be done. I am going on vacation next week from the 6th through the 17th if someone wants to start M&M then that would be appreciated!

MILES:

Biked to work today, although if it gets as hot as anticipated I'll be schlepping my bike home on the bus! I got up in time to swim laps before work (YAY ME!!!). Last night I had my first run club and it was great! Not much actual running yet but lots of great information and plenty of training on warm-ups, cool-downs, and post run stretching- all of which I totally fail at so this is going to be so good for me!
