All Things in Moderation

Yesterday, my points matched my activity level - TOO MUCH! I tend to go overboard in exercising sometimes, and the combo of elliptical/treadmill/core class/kickboxing nearly did me in. I also did my PT, and as lame as it is, it's HARD work when you're as weak as I am.

Today, I am doing my best to be mediocre ... er, do all in moderation. I did a few 'laps' at work, going from one side of campus to another. Craig made muffins for breakfast and though I had an 'extra' (read:12 points worth) I kept the rest of the day's eating to yogurt, banana and latte. If I were on Core foods I'd be doing good with that stuff (although the muffins themselves woulda been off limits). Tonight I am having 0point soup for dinner and will treat myself to coco with marshmallows after I write my freelance piece. I need to do my arm work for PT but that's best done while watching the Biggest Loser.

My Tues. night class was canceled so Zula and I took advantage and went for a walk at Pioneer Park. We were among several at the start but it thinned out as the sun went down. It was the kind of day when the sun could convince you it's not February and the Groundhog didn't predict 6 more weeks of winter. The wind ripping down the street could nearly have been mistaken for a breeze off the lake you remember as a child. I let Zu offleash for about 5 minutes as we walked along the stream cutting through the park. She would race up and down the berm and I don't know how, but managed to never fall in. She eventually tired out and I put her back on the leash though I think she would have preferred me to carry her! Our neighbor upstairs, who loves Zu and Zu loves back, is going to watch her for a couple hours while I do homework and write. It's a three way tie for who will be happiest :)
