I made it to the gym this morning and got in both types of workouts.  I love the logging system that they have.  I never have to remember what weight I did last or what settings I need the machines on to do the exercise properly and it logs it all in for me.  Any cardio that I do I can log in either there or at home.  For someone who appears quite disorganized, I really do like charts and graphs and such.  I am currently ranked 9th for the month in overall exercise out of 51 women in my age group.

My favorite part of the day was actually getting to watch my daughter’s gymnastics class.  James got home in time so I didn’t have to take my son with me.  He’s 2 and wants to be where ever his big sister is.  I had dinner in the oven that James took out before I got home so it was cool and I could feed the kids at normal time instead of rushing around trying to figure out what to fix.

I did something major today, for me anyway.  I made lasagna and only had one small piece for dinner.  A large percentage of my heritage is Italian and I’m sure my love of Italian food is a major factor in my weight issues.  I kept looking at the pan of it on the stove and then rinsed my plate and cut up a kiwi fruit to fill up more with.  Not only did it help me, but my kids were very happy with their dessert of kiwi and pineapple.  Little Debbie will not see this house again for a while.

That is all from this front.  I’m tired so I’m going to do something else I don’t typically do for myself - go to bed.
