Day 10

Made it to the Rush.  Kids had their exercise class.  So far I've been getting them to that, so yea!  I did 24 min on a tread mill and then 3.5 min on another walking type machine.  I don't know the name of the second machine but after only 30 seconds my heart rate was up to 164 and I was sweating like a pig.  That thing was killer.  I'll have to work my way up on that thing.  I think I like it.  On the treadmill, I did a few min at 3 mph then slowed it down and fluctuated between 2.3 and 2.8 mph.  One of these days I'll work up to a jog!   I feel pretty good today.  No sore muscles.

I ate less than I usually do but still blew my calorie intake out of the water.  I didn't have any snacks either.  I did have a double serving of cereal for breakfast and  then 2 cookies at subway.  Those were my "splurges" bookending my day and putting me almost 600 calories over my goal. Also, I had 3 glasses of coke which is another 300 calories.  It didn't seem like much at the time, but it is amazing that just cutting out that little bit would have kept me on target.

Hubby got the water filter fixed on the fridge and I tend to drink a lot more water when that is working.  Other wise I hit the coke pretty hard.  

I think I need to do exercise in the mornings so I have less excuses as the day wears on, why I don't have time to exercise or what ever million excuses come up.   Boys are back in school.  In  two weeks my kindergartner will be back full time and then its no more excuse-ville.  I need to have my schedule set up so that I get the kids on the bus work for an hour and then head for The Rush.  I can't do it right away cuz bus comes at 6:30 and daycare at The Rush for the baby is open at 8:00
