Very bleh today. Probably gonna get my period any minute. Work hates me. Pens lost. But there's nothing new there, so whatever life.

eve11 and I made it to the gym today. I haven't been in probably over a month and only twice since the end of September, maybe. So my expectations were low. But I set a reasonable slow/maintainable pace and managed to run a whole three miles, so I felt quite pleased with that.

My treadmill was less of a pleasant thing. Some sort of power fluctuations were causing all sorts of problems the entire run, culminating in it resetting everything (including the speed) to zero when I tried to slow down to a walk at the end. I was watching the first part of the hockey game on the attached tv (these are fancy, new treadmills) and the tv kept turning off and back on every 60 -70 seconds (and that is not an exaggeration). But aggravating or not, I managed three miles and the plan is to do the same on Thursday. I MUST start exercising again. I will NOT let the fat that has taken over my body win.

In other news, we made gingerbread cookies with the kids at work last week (from a mix) and we had unopened package left over. It was sent home with me today, since I've been planning to make cookies. Also sent home with me were Gingerbread Boy and Girl cookie cutters. No more excuses. Now I really have to make cookies this weekend.

Gingerbread is such a special taste (and smell!). Enjoy your cookies.

Persevere with the exercising, my friend! You can do it!

I'm a little stiff today after the long exercise drought, but I'm heading back out tomorrow, regardless. :)

Hopefully they'll come out yummy - I have to figure out what surface I'll roll them out on, may have to pick something up.

I'm sorry yesterday was so yucky. I hope today is better. And the cookies do sound yummy!

I'm holding on to the hope of cookies and better days to come.

Good for you for exercising. I have not been able to get back on that track although it is still on my list for today and the day is yet youngish.
Hope the cookies are good!

It's always so hard to get started again, once I've stopped for a time. Did you make it out for a walk today?

[antbee362.livejournal.com]

Yep. I went one lap around the track and then up toward the train station and back the road that goes to tennis courts and then into the apartment complex. These 2 detours were to look at where a little branch of the creek goes. Somehow I never noticed it before. Than a lap around the top part of the park and on around the block, such as it is, to home. Took about 30 mintes so I earned 3 activity points. Yippee!

Congrats on getting to the gym and persevering despite the attempts by the treadmill to get you to give up in despair!

Have fun with the gingerbread cookies!

I'll be curious to see, tomorrow, if they have fixed the treadmill, or at least marked it as unsafe for use.
