Bad News: I gained 4 lbs this weekend. Seriously--can't combine fair, ballpark, and Chinese food all into one weekend ever again. Seriously depressing!
Yesterday I rode my bike w/a video for 52 min and then I did about 15 min of upper body weights and abs. I drank a very considerable portion of a bottle of red wine. Very bad--but very tasty.
Today: I tried very hard to oversleep, but Scott had sneezing fit, so I woke up only 10 min after my alarm. Went for a 32 min run this morning. Felt hard at first--I was having stomach cramps--gas pains (went to bed w/them after my weekend of indulgence and still had them this a.m.).
Taking C to a painting party this morning. Have a difficult issue to workout w/DMV b/w 2 states and the bank. I hate red tape--avoiding this.
Seriously need to watch my diet this week. Had major setbacks this weekend that I need to overcome.
How is your new plan--couch to 5K going? I love 5Ks--so gratifying and pretty manageable after a short while training. I wish there were more 10 Ks--I'm not ready for a half marathon, but I'd like to push myself for more than a 5K (since I've run 3 of those before).

Hello, my name is Gina, and I'm an overeater
AHHHH!!! Been seduced into overeating by delicious Chinese buffet. Just Say No! I usually detest buffets, but we've eaten at this place w/takeout before and it was really good. It was the good kind of buffet--small. In my opinion the quality of food on a small buffet is superior to that of the places that serve 20 entree dishes, 6 appetizers plus sushi, wings, and mongolian bbq. I should have stopped at 1 plate, but have no willpower--am spineless jellyfish.
AHHHH!...supposed to be "rest" day, but now need to run 500 miles to achieve enough of a calorie burn to compensate. Not sure when the heck I will exercise as we have tickets to baseball game this evening.
Hateful, delicious food.

Gina: Day 27
Went to bed early last night...Ahhh-nice.
Got up early this morning and did Tae Bo (kicking it old school) for 30 min or so and then 40 min or so of Yoga X (will likely finish the other half of yoga this afternoon as it will not require sweating w/the portion that's left.
Tomorrow is rest day--woohoo!!!
Food:
Doing well so far. Did eat some potato chips, but just one serving.

Gina: Day 26
Bike ride for 55 min to my Spinervals DVD
I overate a bit today at lunch and dinner. Not terribly, but definitely overate. Feeling stressed--too much pasta!
Not a lot more to say.

Gina: Day 25
Food:
brkfst: cinnamon and sugar toast, milk, and half a banana--yummy
lunch: leftover pasta and a the rest of the pico de gallo
dinner: I made grilled chicken breasts (I marinated in lemon and lime juice and the zest w/olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic). It had a really good flavor. I made homemade mac and cheese w/broccoli as well. I tried to keep myself to a reasonable portion of the mac and cheese, but it was so hard. I had a glass of wine w/dinner (big one since Scott poured--haven't finished yet). Seriously if you haven't had White Haven Sav. Blanc you've got to try it (if you like Sav Blanc)--so yummy.
Exercise:
overslept (didn't sleep much last night--this is such an annoying pattern)
I did a Jillian Michaels power yoga (all moving poses, no holds really), then Pilates Plus, and then I did the last chance workout of Jillian Michaels--the intervals and upper body. Just didn't feel like I had had much of a workout from the other two--especially for my arms.
Emotional:
Need to find something to do w/c today. It's rainy--not a lot of options. This is foreshadowing of a long winter.
We ended up going to the Discovery Museum, where Colin hit 3 kids. I don't know what to do about the hitting--it's so obnoxious.

Wednesday
Today started bad and got worse.
I slept through my alarm and completely missed boot camp. I only have
two days left paid for so I can just go tomorrow and Friday, but it
still totally threw off my schwerve.
Even though I got more sleep, I was completely exhausted all day. And
I ate lots of pretzel m&ms.
Blah.
Gina: Day 24
Exercise:
When my alarm went off this A.M. it was thunderin gand lightning, so I slept in instead of running. Got my run in before dinner right when Scott came home. Ran 38 min--pushed myself. On a gross note, I got 3 gnats in my right eye. I got one out while running and 2 when I got home. When I looked in the mirror to see if I still had a bug in my eye, I noticed like 5 dead gnats all over my face. Weird: I wasn't running that fast. Gnats beware!
Food:
I did really well not overeating today. Had eggs and toast for breakfast. A grilled cheese and light bologna sandwich and pico de gallo. Cheese stick for snack. Dinner: Homemade crockpot pulled pork, baked beans, and green beans. I ate true serving sizes and skipped the bun at dinner. Thinking of rewarding myself w/a small glass of white wine--White Haven Sauvignon Blanc.
Emotional:
Went to the zoo with some other moms and kids. Helped C paint for a few minutes and had lots of play time w/the little guy. Didn't blow dry my hair.
Spiritual:
Read my Bible, but that's it.
