Today I'm still dealing with a lot of the stress from last night's step-daughter drama. (Long story.) But I'm finding that exercise is a really great outlet. So although I have already been on the treadmill ONCE today (this morning), I'm bound and determined to get on it AGAIN this afternoon.
Workouts:
Treadmill (AM): 50 min, 435 calories
Treadmill (PM): 43 min, 390 calories (mostly walking)
Today I had to run to the store to go get eggs for cooking for my kids, and so I was running through Albertsons, and the "food demons" were calling my name: down the bakery section, the chips aisle, etc., etc. I got out of there with one portion of "healthy" chips (like Pirates Booty) and a latte from Starbucks that I've been sipping on ALL DAY. Unfortunately, it may put me over on my calorie count, but I AM getting an extra work out, and I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so I may not finish it all anyway.
...later...
I was just finishing up on the treadmill, earbuds still in my ears, sweat dripping down me, and stretching, when I turned around and saw my husband standing here ("admiring the view" as he said) and scared the living crap right out of me! Despite the nasty sweatyness, the bad workout BO, and everything, I got a wonderful kiss! Despite how awkward I felt because of how I look in my workout clothes with my hair pulled back, no make up, etc., etc., it was GREAT to realize that he's noticing SOMETHING! :-D
Especially with all the drama at home (with his daughter), I really needed the assurance that I wasn't just the glorified cook/maid/laudry maiden in the house. I got it!
