Monday April 11th- a good day!


We're two weeks away from state testing, and with it comes a lot more stress than normal.  But, I'm determined not to follow the same pattern of "eat like crap in April bc of state testing".  It just doesn't make me feel any better.  So, I went to weight watchers and weighed in.  I hadn't been to a meeting in over a month.  I was horrified!  I can't believe I was away that long.  But, I lost two pounds during that month, so although it wasn't off the charts, I'm glad I was still losing while I was away.  After that, I ate a quick dinner and headed to the gym.  I did 10 miles on the bike on an Alpine hill program, and then went straight into a run on the treadmill.  I only did one mile, but I pushed myself pretty hard during that mile, which actually felt pretty good.  My speed seems to be increasing as I've picked up the running pace.

I wrapped up the evening with a yoga class which really helped ease my stress level.  I just love yoga- I need to do it more!

Two hours in the gym is a bit excessive in my opinion, but at this point, two weeks from testing, it really felt like the best way to spend my time.  I'm so glad I went!
