day 1+

Mama needs new clothes and a new body because this one deserves nothing!

So... I have to start my regimen this week since I have a month before our next layoff and a photo shoot at the beginning of February.

Yesterday: I did the 3 mile loop at Reid Park running and walking. It sucked pretty hard. I feel really out of shape.

Today: I had a yogurt parfait and some mixed nuts at the airport. I did not choose the tuna salad sandwich like I wanted to.

At the hotel tonight: I got on the treadmill and ran 30 minutes without stopping. It was at 4.8mph so it was just above walking but i didn't quit - for which I'm proud - and it also shows how much easier it is to run on a treadmill than on a sidewalk. But I have to start somewhere so if I run on treadmills and it gets me running... then it's not so bad. And I did abs.

As a reward: I ordered room service :) I wanted the scallops served scampi style over black pepper fettucine BUT instead I ordered the seared salmon, buckwheat noodles and steamed broccoli. It was delicious...

So that's the update.

Tomorrow, I'll get to Albany at 4pm and stop by the theatre to make sure everything's done. We then have a christmas eve party planned - drinks, nosh, present exchange. My goal is to work out before I go - more running until i get in the groove and it isn't so miserable - and to drink and eat less than I want to and be able to be up between 8-9 on Christmas day and work out before our christmas dinner that afternoon.
