Okay - that was nice now wasn't it? Well, maybe....

Today was not a great day at work. I had way too much to do and not enought time to do it. Hugh came with me to work and got underfoot a bit. But he was helpful as well. I felt like I was running in circles, but I did put on about 6000 steps.


I tried laminating a giant poster and it got ruined. Someone had put the film on the machine wrong and it gummed up the rollers. Do you suppose anyone would offer to clean the machine? Hell no! They were all far too busy to take care of it. Who, I wonder, do they think was going to do it? Well, Mama Linda *me* finally took care of it. I spent about 3 hours today just doing that. Talk about SUCK!~So now I have to go back to work over the weekend to finish what I was supposed to have started today.

I did have a great gym day. I did 20 minutes on the bike - like a road bike thing...I LOVE IT! I did the best I could to try HIIT. I pretty much rode as hard as I could, slowed down to recover, then hit it again. Over and over for 20 minutes. I have never done that bike for a full 20 and that felt awesome. Then I got some water and hopped on the treadmill. I went for 30 minutes and again did the best I could to play with HIIT. I will do that as often as I can at the gym.

I also joined myfitnesspal.com at the recommendation of Jenn and Butter. Thanks, Jenn. It seems simlar to Sparkpeople.com. I will make tomorrow a better food day. I like that it tells you how much weight you could lose if you stay on track. Nice feature spark doesn't have.

I'm way tired. Time for bed.

TATAFORNOW!

No problem, always happy to help.

I finally finished my list of foods tonight. I am surprised at how many I have tried that are not my style. It was really fun.

kudos to you to making a crappy work day NOT into a WAAH I WANNA SNACK THE AFTERNOONNIGHTAWAY.
but seeing the up side of the steps.

SO GLAD YOURE HIIT IN!

Miz, who has for some reason always wanted to OWN a laminator and may be rethinking that now.
