Hello.

Things have been up and down - but maybe it'll all even out.

Last Saturday, the hubby and I went for a 5K run. Last summer, we were running in 10 minute intervels, but it's been awhile since then! Nonetheless, we ran in 5 minute intervels in the beautiful sunshine of the morning. It was really lovely.

Sunday was a bit of a write-off - but I was shopping all day, so that's gotta burn some calories, right?

Since then, I've been out of town on business again. That's when things get messed up. I can never find stuff to eat that's both nourishing, vegetarian, and good for my diet! So I resort to eating crappy stuff. Exercise also goes out the window on some of these trips because of long air travel, time change, and meetings galore.

All this to say - I'm back to it again. And I'm starting to realize that this is life. I'm not always going to have the chance to be "perfect" - things will get in the way, and all I can do is get back on track as soon as I can.

Eating has been good today, but I had an insatiable urge for sugar this afternoon. This resulted in me devouring a box of sugar-free (but aspartame loaded) cinnamon mints. I'm meeting with the trainer tonight, and am going to get some cardio in beforehand.

And in the morning, I shall weigh in (gulp).
