recommitting

I wanted to check in and reconnect with you all, who seem to be doing a great job sticking with your weight loss plans. I've had two really crazy weeks, and have had limited time to post, let alone exercise or manage to eat well. I was away on business this past weekend, but weighed myself in- no weight loss, but surprisingly no weight gain.

I've got a very busy week ahead and another crazy weekend followed by a business trip to Florida for the week. Any advice those of you that have been traveling recently have for staying healthy would be much appreciated. I'm planning on doing a lot of swimming (all the hotels I've booked have pools) and hoping that the weather will be cool enough for an outside run (though I'm not sure what sorts of neighborhoods I'll be in...and I don't want to end up lost, or dead!)

On Saturday, I'm working from 9-4, than babysitting from 6-late. I'm getting up at 8am Sunday to do a 20 mile charity walk, which will count as my exercise for the day. I've got a final exam on Monday night after work, and I will need to spend a lot of time studying for it.

Since I've been working like crazy for the past few weeks, I've decided to take a half day on Friday, so that I can get myself out and running before the baseball game in the evening. Over the weekend, I ran 2.5 miles, which is great, but it made me realize that I've still got a lot of work to do if I'm planning on running the entire 5 mile road race I've entered for June 4th. AAAH!

Now that it's springy outside, I'm going to have to fully recommit to exercising, and get myself out of bed to run in the morning. Or it's not going to happen. Wish me luck! I'm trying to put together a schedule to force myself to build up endurance to run for more than 3.5- ugh.


Hopefully, I will have some interesting updates for y'all soon. Good luck!
