  • So Mother Nature has finally decided to give us some fall like weather…which would be great, if I wasn’t freezing my ass right now.  :P
  • Thirty minutes on the ARC Trainer today…decent eating today, even with the donut I had for breakfast (only one though, progress!).
  • Speaking of the ARC Trainer, Cybex posted a link to my blog post from the other day on their Facebook wall!  Woo!

  • Starting a challenge with Cassie tomorrow!  455 miles in 3 months!  Why that distance? Cuz it’s the distance between where she lives and where I live.  So we’re gonna pseudo “visit” each other, and maybe one day (soon, DAMMIT) we’ll ACTUALLY get to visit each other.  The challenge can be done in anyway (walk, run, bike, swim, etc…) so if anyone else wants to go through New Hampshire to Maryland, by all means!

  • Weighing in tomorrow.  Ugh.
  • Still freezing!

Day 3 of attempt 567 of getting my shit together. :)

No ARC Trainer today, but I did fit in 35 minutes on an actual elliptical machine (15 minutes in the morning, 20 in the afternoon) and got a little upper body strength training in.  I could have done more, but honestly, my overtime has SUCKED over the past few weeks, and I need some really good paychecks in before Christmas.  This would be a non-issue if I could get my ass up early enough to workout, so that is something I am going to try to work on.

Diet wise…I’m doing okay, but I’m starting to think I should cut bread and cheese out of my diet…if for not reason other than I go through it way too fast…

Over the past three days I have gone through a whole loaf of bread (16 slices) and almost two full packs of cheese (18 slices, out of 20 slices total).  It’s a little less horrible when you consider that I was eating sandwiches for breakfast, lunch AND dinner (either ham and cheese, or turkey and cheese, with one experiment in a grilled cheese and hummus sandwich) for three days, so no one day binge.  With that said though, all of that added up to 2560 calories, which I probably could have done without.

I really really do love cheese though, so this might be tough.

There are still plenty of Smarties left though, no binge there either. :)

Anywho, that’s all I got for now.  Not sure if I’m gonna be blogging everyday (on THIS blog, anyway), because my life really is a little too boring for daily blog posts, but more regular efforts will be made.

Onward to Day 4!

I did an hour on the ARC Trainer…

…so that I can eat this.

CANADIAN CANDY!

Meegan was awesome enough to send me some after I was complaining on Twitter one night about how American Smarties suck.  The ones from Nestle are more M&M-ish…and they rock.  It’s whole a whole other world of awesome Smartie-ness.

And…and Aero Bars rock too…I can find them here, but they are expensive as all hell.

I still need to get my package of candy together to send to her (SORRY FOR THE DELAY!), so if anyone can think of some uniquely American stuff that I can send to her, let me know!  I know a few things that I’m gonna get, but any and all suggestions would be appreciated!

Anywho…I’m partly kidding about working out so I can eat this stuff…partly.  I will be eating the shit outta this candy, but in moderation…or something. :)
