So, yesterday I was scheduled to do 20 minutes on the elliptical and I went ahead and did 30. It felt good, but to be honest I really intensely despise the elliptical. I get soooo bored, and constantly trying to keep my rpm within a certain range is really taxing. I’d never thought I’d say this (and right now it may just be a temporary emotional thing), but I’m really looking forward to the longer, slower runs on my program. Today I’m scheduled to do 20 minutes at my slowest pace, but if I have time I’ll probably do more. Though it probably wouldn’t hurt to take it a little easier, because my calves are ridiculously sore today!

I also tried the first Carmen Electra tape yesterday…it was fairly enjoyable. The workout didn’t feel intense AT ALL at the time, but like I said, I do feel sore today so maybe it was harder than it looked. Like I expected, it was more fun than anything. I’m definitely going to try the other 4 discs. I’ve never done workout tapes before, but it was kind of fun so maybe I’ll look for some more intense ones to use in the future.

Eating has actually gone fairly well so far today, too. For breakfast I had an apple and a peanut butter granola bar. For lunch I had a cup of tomato soup and a open faced veggie sandwich, with artichoke hearts, asparagus, tomato, pesto, and havarti dill cheese. It was so amazingly good. My dad and I also stopped and got mango smoothies, but they’re less than 90 calories, so not bad at all.

I have a dinner party to go to tonight, so dinner has the possibility of being out of control. I’ll arrive late though, because of work, so hopefully I’ll miss out on a lot of the eating. I just hope that I don’t eat too much dessert (or that it’s forced on me). To be honest, I haven’t really been craving a lot of sweets lately, and I’d kind of like to keep it that way.
