Thanks, Cindy! I think my yoga days are actually my “off” days since I’m not good enough at it for it to be a genuine, strenuous workout yet. I also think that working out every day has been critical to me keeping it up. I would agree with you about a mental trigger – it finally dawned on me that I can find the time to work out, I just have to give up time that I spend on other things, i.e., blogging. Now, if I could only find the healthy eating trigger!

Last week, I did well again, although I cut my second yoga workout short because I just wasn’t feeling right about it, and hopped on the treadmill for an easy walk instead. This week, again, I want to do 5 cardio and 2 yoga sessions. I’m finding that I can do my cardio on the treadmill at a slightly faster speed, so I’m getting a slightly more intense workout in the same amount of time, which is great.

I accomplished the exercise goal, but the eating wasn’t the cleanest. I’m going to focus on that this week. My little niece had her christening this past weekend, so it was another visit, celebration, and big meal with the family. The visit is over, but my body still wants to eat the richer foods I normally don’t feed it!

The party went… mostly well. One of my friends brought a bunch of full fat cheese – I’m a big time cheese freak, and I ate a lot more than I should have… overly full. I can’t actually remember the last time I had a distressed stomach from over-eating!! eeeep! Not quite looking forward to tonight’s weigh in. But I’ll keep ya posted.

This week, my goal is to get back to doing six sessions of workout! I’ve let the last two weeks go slack, working out 5 times week before last, or four times this past week because of “real life.” Yeah, well, my weight loss and getting fit is part of my real life, too, and I need to get back to it!

(We’ll see about this. I have a root canal tomorrow, which is usually my cardio day, and I don’t know that I’ll even remotely feel like exercise.)

I also have a new workout dvd that I’d like to preview and work in at least once this week, probably Friday. A friend of mine highly recommends it, and mailed me a free copy, on the requirement that I’d review it for other people, so I need to get on that!!

The cough lingers, but the sore throat is gone and I’m not coughing nearly as often. I took a lot of time off, Monday through Wednesday and Friday completely off and only 3 miles on Thursday/Saturday. All in all only about 15 miles for the week.

This week’s goal is to get back up to normal mileage. I expect that I will run in the high 40s or low 50s, but I’ll play it by ear and ramp up/down accordingly.
