I wasn't going to workout today. I woke up when my alarm went off. I laid in bed for a while. I eventually got up, got dressed and went to the Rec Center. I got on the bike for 20 minutes then lifted - upper body today.

I was hanging up my mat and a lady said, "Now to see if we have the energy to do every thing we have to do today!" My response was this, "If I didn't come this morning, I know I wouldn't!" It's so true. Working out gives me energy and mental fortitude to do what I have to do in my day!

Last weekend was a terrible eating weekend. Some friends left sugar cookies on our door for St. Patrick's day and I ate 2 without hesitating. It was ten o'clock at night. Wrong time to eat. The next day, our friends brought over brownies and and the same time some more friends brought over Texas sheet cake. I had 2 brownies with Texas sheet cake stacked on each one. I didn't even hesitate. It was good but not worth it. I was up 6 pounds. Today I am still up 4 pounds. Is it just from eating cookies and brownies? Probably not. Eating in general was weird Saturday and Sunday. I made scones on Monday with fresh honey butter - yes I had one. Mentally I'm not on my game. Hormones are huge. I know that I struggle the week before my period. I should have a plan ready. It is like this every month. I sat in a meeting last night with a muffin top. NOT A FAN. I don't want to feel like I did last night. I have come too far to check out mentally. This week I was so wanting to hit my 90 pound mark and I let it slip away for a moment of enjoyment. Fat last so much longer than the taste of a brownie!

Tomorrow is my long run - 15 miles. My friend is watching my little girl so I can go during the day. Last night I sat down with gmap-pedometer and plotted out my run. I'm a little excited. It's a different route and I'm ending at my husband's office so I don't have to run back up the hill to my house. I've got to call the doctor and see if it's okay. That dang nerve in my foot. I want to run and still feel my toes.
