I can deal when my ipod battery dies, i will watch tv OR even just listen to the gym noise. But today I went to run for 40 minutes and i watched tv for a bit and then i decided to switch over to music. Plugged in my ipod and hit play - the music played, but it sounded wonky. Like it was too fast or too slow, or i heard stuff in the background. It freaked me out and I had to stop. I was trying to figure it out but i couldn't. I was pissed off - i could NOT run with that wonky music sound. Instead I turned on VH1 and was blessed with the fact that Celeb Rehab was on, wahoo. I lovely guilty pleasure. It was perfect and I have to say I am bummed I don't know what happened, I guess I will have to start looking for it at home.
Nutrition for today, so today I made scrambled eggs for lunch and added peppers - i never do that, but i really want to make sure i am getting my veggies in. However, i wound up eating 3 buttercrunch cookies and a 100 grand bar later ??? what the feckity feck ??? I think I am living it up b/c i know once my coach gives me my workouts starting feb. i am in deep dutty and will have to be more serious.
I did get 40 minutes of running in.
Tomorrow is bootcamp with ironlady, always a joy. I really want to try a smoothie after with this protein powder. Problem is I wind up thinking about a toasted bagel and an ice t and treat myself to that from Manhattan Bagel. NO MORE. I need to control it. Good fuel in !!!

stuck at 30 minutes
I run on the treadmill at the gym and I don't mind it BUT maybe that is b/c I am only on it for 30 minutes. Somehow I always convince myself, or only have a short time that 30 minutes seems to be my standard. Granted some days I do 3 miles and I do intervals (faster each mile) OR 1 minute hard 1 minute easy etc.
But either way I am 30 minutes and done. I realize that as soon as I start working with a coach those 30 minutes will be long gone. But for now I have every excuse in the book, not enough time need to get home , kids can't stay in the kidzone too long, i did bootcamp yesterday and I am sore, don't feel great so i won't go longer than 30 minutes, and on and on. I am sure once I go and run 50 minutes I will suddenly hate that sucka.
Hubby is in bed and feels like crap. Lord please do not let the flu hit this house.
It is snowing again. I am over the snow. Give me summer.
I got lululemon for christmas presents from hubby. I brought back a sweatshirt b/c i felt i had to many fleeces as is (yes i told this already) point is i finally did my exchange and got shorts, a tank running top and a bra and holy cow the love I feel for them is beyond anything. I might just see if I could get a part time job at the store so i can get the discount on these freaking rocking clothes. i got pants as well and they are the most comfy thing in the world.
Lululemon - call me - sponser me- let me live in your clothes.

updates
Tuesday i did boot camp. Was so happy to do it. I was sore but not as bad as I have been in the past.
I was off yesterday, today I plan to run.
I will be working with a coach starting in Feb. I am very excited, and it feels a bit luxurious, I mean it is not like I am some world class athlete. I am just a mom trying to stay in shape and set goals for myself and challenge myself. But I know myself and with my first Olympic size tri on the schedule I need to be disciplined by someone. A sprint I can handle, but olympic, it scares me. I mean a 10k is not something I run much and yet I will have to run that after swimming and biking. I am looking forward to it, and the training. I have to feel out a bunch of information and I love the fact that I am being asked about my training, my goals, etc. It helps me focus and that is what I need. I just want to make sure I balance it all, and not get super obsessed with training and when and panic about the time put forth. I want my girls to see my balance it all and show them that it is ok for mommy to have time but not have them feel like I am not always there for them.
I want to make sure hubby is not left with the kids all weekend after he works a full week and has zero time for himself. I can do this.
I feel a bit of a cough and tickle in my chest so I am loading up on vit. c, these are great for kids as well.

NOT fitness related
so the girls have beanbags and i showed them how i use to sit on the beanbag at college with my feet up on a table. i told them how comfy it was to which my 6 year old said "no this is the most comfortable" (she was on the couch with a blanket and it is by far the most comfy place. I agreed with her and said yes, to which she replied "well back then they didn't have couches"
yes back in the stone ages when i went to college we only had bean bags.
going to get my ass to boot camp
