Not a big shock — after the ALL additional food i was consuming.  I am gonna have to figure out the balance b/w eating ENOUGH to allow me to work out hard but not TOO much so i am gaining weight.  

I find it very difficult to believe that i gained 2 lbs worth of muscle in the last few days…. so, i can only chalk it up to — i ate WAYYYYY too much!

Someone was mentioning mid-life desires (ie crisis??)  i have been really wanting a small dog variety puppy — lap-dog — cuddly dog — footwarmer.  the kind that won’t shed so i can have him in the house (my husband does not allow animals in the house, but my son’s dog poodle/chihuahua was allowed in — he was killed 2yrs ago and we still miss him terribly!!) 

so, is it b/c i miss Comet or b/c when you get to my age, you need a lap dog????  anyone with a spare puppy around — send him/her to me!!!   {{{{{sigh}}}}} i really should be a gramma, NOT a new mom “again”….. 

SOOOOOOOO, back to weight loss support…..  

unfortunately, i feel undeniably random today…..

this week’s goals –

• Monday — hamstring work
• Tuesday — triceps/chest
• Wednesday — quads
• Thursday — biceps/back
• Friday — 3 mile walk/run  (curious to see how far I can RUN…. haven’t been b/c of the rain…..i run on a ditch which equals clay stuck to your shoes…. i can’t run with extra weight yet…)
• Saturday — soccer games — referee??
• EVERY DAY — Drink water - 2 waterbottles.

Oh, my son brought me a new “complete nutrition” powder (if i told you about it, i would have to shoot you…. not really, but you have to hear the 20min spiel before you are allowed to use the product — ensures that you use it correctly….)

anyway…. i’m gonna try it for a month and see if it makes a difference — i can’t take vitamins in pill form — they irritate my stomach — so, this should provide all my vits/minerals and other stuff — he is really excited about it and his fiance’s grandparents and great grandparents (94 yrs old!!) have been taking it for several years — they swear by it!!

Here’s to our health!!!!  (raises cup of water in toast)

have a blessed Monday!
