Well, I'm back. It wasn't the two hour workout I had planned on, but it was more than I've done in a long long time. I rode the elliptical machine for 55 minutes, and did several "sprints" on it i.e., I would put the machine on a really hard resistance and go all out for a minute, and then bring the resistance down and go slow for a minute. I burned 640 calories, Not. Too. Shabby!! I was also going to try and do some weights afterward, but I seriously (and I'm not kidding) almost fell asleep on the mat when I was stretching. I was lying on my back stretching my hamstrings and I think I started dreaming (kidding).
Anyway, I'm making some butternut squash soup and an egg white omelet with veggies for dinner. YUM!!
You have stay strong Colleen and remember you are not just doing this for you, but for your children!!!!!!!!!They need a healhthy ,happy mom. We have fat genes in our family and we have to defeat them! It's not easy. I struggle every day too. I haven't had a potato chip,nut, or dessert since Sunday. I'm trying to now keep them out of the house. Like the Lays commercial, I can't have just one!!!!!!!!
