Energy WipeOut

Ok so today went not so well. I started the day off by getting into my work out clothes and mindset at around 3pm. I went out, turned the radio on, stretched, and started going at it on the elliptical. But apparently I put it on a programmed setting which Ive never tried before and 10 minutes into it I just couldnt keep going. It would only go up resistance every 2 minutes which left me bored and tired because it never let up. Normally the program I do is when the resistance goes up 4-8, 6-9, 6-10, 6-9, 6-8, then down 4-3. I realize that this might not make sense but it does. And I like this routine because then Im always thinking 'ok I just got to get over this hurdle and then it will be easy again'. So after 10 minutes of going nowhere with no end in sight I get off.

By this time Im really frustrated because I didnt finish my work out. I have a tendancy to quite things when they get uncomfortable. So after 5 minutes with the pull-down-arm-thingy-bar I go back to the elliptaical and make sure it is on the setting I want and go at it again. but this time Im so tired and frustrated that after 5 minutes Im off again. I find a great episode of Oprah talking about spirituality and lay down on the couch for a tinsy winsy nap, basically just to rest a bit.

Ive been very good with my diet today except for the brownie, but I totally counted it and thought that the rest of the day Id be good. WRONG! Paul comes home and finally after months of not doing anything with him he finally says he wants to hang out with me :). So we rent movies but theres a special where you buy popcorn and candy and soda and its supposed to be cheaper. Wrong again, in the end we find out it only saved us a dollar, what a crock! ..... So needless to say I went over my daily points by alot... But tonight at 12:10am I went back out there and tried it again. and this time I did it all! I finished my work out and even had energy to go over the time limit (I like to make the numbers even, If Im at 2853 steps I need to keep going to make it an even 3000). So really I didnt do too bad today because I made up for half of it working out but I still shouldnt have gone over. Now I only have 1 bonus point for the rest of the week so I need to be extract strict with myself. Which I can totally do, I just need to remember to eat all of my points but not go over.

After all of this there is still good news and a rainbow to marvel at. I spent the morning at Ingrids daycare center with the kids playing with the hose for waterday. I had a delicious brownie and a soda which I havent drank soda in forever. Last night I bought a new bathing suit that fits and is flattering while still modest. Took a midnight swim in my new bathing suit with Ingrid last night. Personalized very cute bags from walmart $5 that has different colored music notes on it. And I upped my work out today because of all the give-ups earlier. And I drank all my water today!

Today:(approximately)
3500 steps
700 calories burned
1.5 miles

Realization:
I have more energy at night when I workout because there are less radio commercials. At 3pm-4pm when I normally do it, they almost never have a song going. Maybe I should burn a cd of workout songs. Any suggestions for upbeat good workout songs? I've already decided Lady Gaga, and Beyonce are good, also maybe the upbeat fun Spice Girls (not the sappy slow ones though).
