This is Sara.

Eating enough calories was again a problem the last couple of days. Its mostly a problem of not being well prepared. When I have the time and the money I generally anticipate my eating needs. But I am not all that prepared this week and just paid off the last of my debt (whoo! hoo! but I am now broke until payday.)

I am also feeling more greedy about gym time. Take for instance last night. I get to the gym at 6pm, hit the bike for a 5min warm up. Jump on the high step for about 15min...then notice the BodyPump class out of the corner of my eye. I eventually just stopped...got off the high step, and wandered (late) into the pump class. I assembled a bar and dome discs I thought wouldn't be too heavy and joined in. This class is all free weights and I have been interested for a while in taking it.

It was about a 45 minute class or more and I came out wanting to do some running and maybe some cable machines. Problem was I had a date with a friend at 8pm. I sorely wished I hadn't obligated myself. My body was telling me to run my brains out and I needed to go because a friend was on her way to the bar to wait for me. Ah! and a bar of all places! It seemed the exact opposite of what I was seeking that moment. So, I came to the firm decision that I would give my self 2.5 - 3 hours at least three times a week to workout with out any obligation to be elsewhere. There is plenty of reading that I can do at the gym for classes etc and as I mentioned before I haven't really noticed the gym taking any time from me. Even though I am there for at least and hour and a half 6 days of the week...I have just folded it into my life and don't have any intentions of letting stop anytime soon. In fact I think if someone started to get in the way of it, I might feel my claws come out.

Annie, I don't see your image. It may just be my browser but thought I would mention it.
