A day of rest, and celebration

I'm a little bit nervous about tomorrow, the one day out of seven when I have decided NOT to exercise. Oh that reminds me, I need to make sure the duck alarm is turned off, otherwise I will get up with a racing heart pumped to begin my run--kind of like Pavlov’s dog that salivates every time he hears a bell. Not only am I not exercising tomorrow, is it also MY BIRTHDAY, the big 26, so that means no calories burned in the morning, extra calories because Sundays usually mean very rich food, and the treats that come with having a birthday. Maybe this will provide the great awakening that I need--convincing me that it really does FEEL better to exercise and eat right, doubtful. Or will this remind me of my evil ways when I indulge in all things creamy and rich and forget about the consequences? Maybe a little of both, either way I am breaking a good start of things, so wish me luck, and a happy birthday.

  1. Happy Birthday you cute girl!!! And I can tell you right now, dinner is spaghetti from Buco De Beppo (or whatever it's called), according to my mom, and I'm making garlic bread, but not the super fatty stuff my mom made, just regular so you don't have to feel TOO guilty. I think Tara's doing salad . . . that's healthy!

    I've only exercised 2 times over this 2 week break. I was doing so good too. So, don't let Sunday throw you off too much, OH! And it's FAST SUNDAY tomorrow so see . . . the stars are all aligned to help you! I'm behind you too and I'll be back at the gym Monday.

  2. Your posts are A++ fun!!! Good luck in this journey of yours. I know regular exercise takes some serious guts and determination. Next time we go VTing we should pump some iron as we spread the good news. See you tomorrow bday girl. Hope your muscles get a good nights rest.

  5. Bina - happy b-lated b-day. we were in Oaxaca with no internet or phone.
    Remember, if you are running you can still loose weight if you eat the same. it all depends on the rate in which you want to loose the weight.... if you are in no rush, keep eating the same. if you are wanting to loose it fast, switch from fast food to bucket-o-salad as scott calls it. whatever YOU want!!!
