days 5,6,&7

I admit I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed with the responsibility of this challenge. I also have to send in blog posts and log food now for myself and Megan. It's been pretty exhausting to say the least.

Haven't missed a day at the gym now in 12 days...the kids had the weekend off though. They're going enough, and I do not want to make it not fun for them or an added burden. They have a lot on their plates now too.

Let's see...Friday was cardio, again. Saturday was Aqua Zumba...man was the air COLD! The pool is heated but it was about 50 degrees outside. I treated myself to the hot tub afterwards. Today I went and did more cardio. I saw several other folks there who are in the program as well.

I have a lot of other things on my plate right now and I find the gym a bit therapeutic. Even though I have tons of things at home that need to be done, when I'm feeling low I can go to the gym and refocus on something other than everything else that seems to be falling apart around me.

Food is still a struggle. I'm fine eating whatever (although I tried frozen soybeans today and they were disgusting). My favorite thing right now is a simple Flat Out (kind of like a tortilla) with a TBS of almond butter and some of Becky Conard's blackberry preserves. I roll it up and away I go, perfect for when I don't have time to cook something.

The kids are being a bit more of a hard sell. They've gone through lots of cheese sticks and apples for snacks though. It's amazing what they will eat when the junk isn't around.

Hopefully I can blog a bit better next week. We'll see.
