Sunday: Due to losing my keys in a bathroom, I ran more this morning than I planned to. Walked 3, ran 23; stopped for 4 minutes to change (I'd gotten hot by dressing too warmly for what started out at 41 degrees but is now 58); ran another 33; stopped for another 3 to use the restroom (and forget my keys); ran another 35 as I headed home and then back again to the park's welcome center to find my keys (couldn't get in the house as I'd locked the screen door and not my main door which meant my hidden key would do me no good--it also meant I was screwed if someone walked off with my keys!); then walked (with a few running spurts) for the next 32 minutes. Total running time = 91+ minutes; walking around 35. Whew! My legs are a bit tired ;) Nice hot shower sounds good.
Monday: Stopped in Sharon Woods on the way home tonight and took some pictures which motivated me to get home and change and then walk for 45 minutes with my camera. Enjoyable walk today--leisurely and just right at the end of a long day.
Tuesday: 30 minute run with a little walking on either side. A bit sore today; I think I'll lay off the running until Friday.
Thursday: Cardio yoga w/Lilias (tape--a lot of sun salutations; that "relaxing" pose, done repeatedly and quickly, is quite the warmer-upper!).
Friday: Long day at school, in which our heroine ends by unfurling her new rug in her office, cleaning up the place a bit, then stopping at her sons' new apartment and running into her birthday son as he gets back from work. A brief conversation ensues, as does a tour of the new house, and our heroine leaves, wondering how things really are with any of her children. Cue glass of wine, eating a bit too much of the Halloween candy. I'm so transparent about my eating triggers, you would think I could keep them under control better.
Saturday: The scale shows I'm a pound from where I want to be, which still means I've been losing a bit more. Typically, however, I fluctuate from day to day up or down a pound, so I know I need to change this list of on-again, off-again exercise days into exercising every day again, and I've got to remember that even my pilates half-hour or walking around my neighborhood are better than nothing on days when I feel like I can't do a full-tilt routine. Three weeks to Thanksgiving, and I want to be a couple pounds lighter for the inevitability of elevated levels of food, drink, and general merriment.
