Man 5AM gets here before you know it!!!! I was so mad when the clock went off. However it was sunny as hell so I would have woken up pretty early anyway. I have a house guest staying with me that gets up and works out in the morning to and he got up and went to hit the track and that motivated me.

So I went back to Pilates. Let me tell you after being off for 1 month I am dying. My stomach is like UGH!!! I tell you. So I did 1 hour of Pilates then headed up to do some weights. I did legs mostly. Let's hope in Powerflex tomorrow she isn't on legs. After doing some lifting for about 20 - 30 minutes I went to do 15 minutes of Cardio. Let's just say if I am doing Cardio it is probably about 98% that it is the bike. I love the bike. I stayed at my target heart rate 154 for the majority of the time. I remembered my inhaler so I was good to go.

So it is time to shower. I have to share these experiences as I am just dumbfounded. So first the good part. I took my shower (I sweated up some stuff today) and got on the scale. I am 202. That is alot bigger than I ever thought I would be however I had gotten to 218 so that is great progress. Particularly since I have been being lazy the last month or so. However the last 3 weeks I have cut back on carbs. It is hard giving up white rice, but brown rice here I come.

So I am now dressed and curling my hair. There is a chatty patty chick next to me and I am like do I look like I am in the mood to chat? So I talk to her a bit. Then she knows everyone in there so she has to talk to them all. Then she starts talking about her grandfather's will being revisted. I am like you know I am glad to hear drama happens in white families too. So back to curling my hair. So this woman I saw on the Eliptical machine who is probably a child's size 1 I mean tiny comes in. She has on this black and white stripped top. I noticed it on the machine like I said as she was tiny. Anyway she starts talking and pulling out her pants she is putting on. Why did this nasty heifer who had been working her azz off on the eliptical machine spray some perfume on like we are in Europe, leave on the same shirt and put on her pants................... She had jury duty today. I guess maybe she was hoping the smell would get her off serving? I originally had thought she was in her late 50's early 60's. But she had her pad lying next to her clothes (why do I always get near these types) so I am guessing she hasn't hit menopause yet.

It is 10:39 and I have drunk about 2/3 of 1 liter of water. At 11 I will have a Sugar Free strawberry Jello cup.

So now it is 1:35 I ate the rest of my shrimp and brocolli. They didn't have brown rice so I had white rice. That is it for the next little bit. I will jsut start having brown rice in the freezer for such instances. A friend of mine her mother cooks brown rice on Sunday and puts it in little containers to defrost throughout the week. BROWN RICE TAKES FOREVER TO DARN COOK!

I am at 1.5 liters of water!

Dinner tonight will be a chicken caesar salad from the Elysian. They are quite tasty.
