Day 42

Two of my coworkers came this morning and ran with us, and AGAIN, the 1st mile was great! But, there was a lot of yelling and crying through the some of the 2nd mile and ALL of the 3rd mile! I knew the girls weren’t “feeling” it this morning, but come on! Really? I mean who is excited to get up and exercise at 5am every morning? The fact is they don’t have a choice anymore, so why not make the best of it? I guess that’s too much to ask for…they could at least pretend! Tonight we will have a second workout – I don’t know what, but I do know that my knees can’t handle Jillian Michaels yet – oh darn – but it will be something!

Tomorrow is weigh-in, so we need that extra chance to sweat off 5lbs of water! I’ve been avoiding the pictures like a plague, so I GUESS I will submit those tomorrow too. Not that you all are dying to see my “belly belly” in all its chiseled glory! If I look like I have a six-pack (oh yeah!) tomorrow, it’s because I have been eating no fat and doing 1,000 sit-ups every day and not because I airbrushed my stomach to look like those men in 300 – I swear…

I am still thinking of a creative way to set up an obstacle course in the mornings to add some “fun and excitement” (sarcasm font) to our workouts without having to hall a trailer full of crap that I need to set up. So, if you have any suggestions (remember its dark at 5am!) that doesn’t involve loading up an 18-wheeler – send them my way! Maybe I can start with jump-ropes and similar stuff – maybe when we hit the corners, we can do pushup, sit-ups, jumping jacks etc…now THAT is a good idea. Oh yeah, the girls will definitely love me then – they will have so much fun and I will be the praised and cherished queen in our own little workout world! Um, okay – moving on….

Kiki lost a shoe again this morning – I give up – next time, she is running barefoot!

We did cook a recipe out of the Biggest Loser’s cookbook last night. mmm, aaa – could have done without that meal. I need a lot of practice in the cooking department! I should have just had a glass of wine and went to bed, but NO –what kind of example would that have been? See, the girls aren't the only ones making sacrifices!
