Day 2

Well day 2 held promises to be a much better day. I got off from work earlier and thought I'd have lots of time to make a great dinner and still get things done around the house. It didn't work out that way for many reasons. Instead I had a bowl of cheerios before I left and then made dinner when we got back. I hate eating that late.

I felt a bit encouraged at my first temptation...a huge tray of cupcakes in the teachers' lounge. I did end up taking one bite, and then realizing it didn't taste as good as it looked, I spit it out and threw the rest away.

The gym went well..Ben did over 6 miles on the bike and another 2 on the treadmill. Megan and I buddied up and did the treadmill, elipitical and row machine. Megan's a good motivator. She kept saying "so, what's next?". I also made a new goal for myself...did 20 minutes on the eliptical...never been able to do that before. I had to press through the pain my feet were feeling, but it was a good feeling to have sweat dripping into my face. Strange, huh? It felt good to sweat.

Matthew got to swim, which made his night.

On a bad note...I'm sick...sick sick...fever, stuffy nose, crabby kind of sick. Ugh...got to keep moving forward though.

I also think there's a secret third team the gym has...I saw another group getting measured...a group that was not there on the first night when the first two teams were...wonder what's up with that? I hope they don't throw us a curve ball...I don't like curve balls.

So the day to day stuff has gotten me down today but tomorrow is going to be better...it has to be.
