But keeping things under control thus far. Thank goodness I packed my lunch and healthy snacks. I've had 12 points so far and I still need to eat dinner. I'll have another Smartone for dinner (around 3-4 points) so that I can finish under 17 points today. I have no idea what yesterday was because I stopped documenting after lunch but I did get a good workout in so that was good.

I'll be doing legs tonight or I'll just be concentrating on cardio since I won't be able to workout after Thursday morning since I'll be in Oregon with Z and his family - unless we are able to get to the community center again. That would be really cool but I'm not going to bank on it. Maybe I can take shooter (one of the dogs) for a walk. Or I can use Z's mother�s treadmill downstairs. Hmm I'm thinking there will be too many people to do that. I don't exactly want to look like a goldfish in a bowl while everyone hangs around kicking back and catching up ya know? I'm thinking I'm might just do 2 hours of cardio tonight instead. That will help burn off serious fat and maybe get rid of some of my bloat. TOM is here folks and it is kicking butt and taking names. It totally sucks but ce la vie right?

After I eat I'll pack up my stuff and head to south to my house. Hopefully traffic will die down. Once I get home I'll unpack a few things and then go workout. Maybe I'll dress for the gym before I leave Redmond so that I can stop off at the gym before I go home so I can't wus out once I get there and say I'm too tired. That might be best. I have hand weights that I can use to do basic squats and lunges there if I don't do them at the gym. Feeling motivated still though I'm a bit sore this morning. I know that if I don't move today I'll be a hurting unit tomorrow as the second day is always the worst. I'm looking forward to feeling sweat dripping down my back and brow and feeling the burn.

Holding my snack monster at bay and looking forward to working out this evening without having to worry about the time. That was one of the reasons I didn't get up this morning along with the fact that Z is gone and I slept like crap by myself. I know what a baby, but it's true. I'm still tired but I'll make it through.
