Keeping my head up

So I got to the gym this morning at 5am with my mom.  We did the 30 minute workout circuit, then we tried to do some leg exercises, which was a total fail because the machines are just enough different from the other gym that I am not sure how to use them.  Then I did a couple minutes on the arc trainer.  I really like the arc trainer but I have to work up to a longer workout because it is a bit hard on the knees.  Nothing I can’t handle, since I stay at the glide level.  Actually tonight is the first night since I started working out where I don’t feel really sore, so I must be getting better at this working out thing!!

First day back at work after my vacation.  It wasn’t too bad.  I had to leave early for a dental appointment.  I got home early, and promptly fell asleep!!  I think it was a combination of getting back to work, my exercise and the tiredness of the Lyme.  I am sure it will be better as I go along.  I just need to get into a routine.  And Mom if you are reading this, I am FINE!!!  I PROMISE!!!  If I wasn’t fine I would not work out!!

Eating has been off.  I am so hungry!!  Not sure if it is the extra activity I am getting or if it because I wasn’t eating much for so long or what.  I have gained back a lot of the weight I lost.  Not all but some.  I really would like to keep some of it off!!  This is my main struggle right now.  Planning would help too.  I need to do more planning on the weekend so the weeknights are easier and less tempting to eat what I shouldn’t.  I need a routine.  I will get there.

Anyway, today was an ok day.

Oh, one thing I would like some advice on.  I am getting up at 4:30am to excercise with my mom.  I do 30-45 minutes of exercise.  What if anything should I eat before I go?  Half way through the 30 minute workout today I was ravenous, to the point of feeling sick.  I don’t want a full stomach, and I want to be able to eat a more substantial breakfast around 7ish, because I have a long morning until lunch.  Or should I be eating in a totally different manner??  Anyway, any advice would be great!!

Have a wonderful night!!
