Cardio Crisis
Today's cardio will be brought to you in installments. I just set out to do a half hour interval run on the treadmill. The result: Me - 0 Treadmill - 1. I could only slug out 12 minutes. I will get on that damn thing (that didn't take long, eh) at another point today and combine my totals! I just did another 10 minutes. I will be back for another 10 minutes later today
I just don't have it today. I need to cardio and weight train my way to working out of a points deficit from last night's dinner with Cute Boy's youngest daughter's 14th birthday dinner. It was a blast, by the way.
I scoured the menu while at work yesterday and found the lowest point foods for me to enjoy. It was Greek Feta Cheese salad. One of my favorite foods and I was a happy clam to know it was only 4 points. I bypassed the cornbread (6pts), as much as I love it. I opted to lean out my dinner since I knew there was DQ Ice Cream Cake involved, and at 14 points per slice - insane! I had some, but not a full piece. I was only being festive and had a sliver of a piece. I'm not particularly fond of ice cream cakes. I want REAL cake! :)
All in all I'm in good points shape. I'm only 13 points in the hole and that is okay with me. I will get where I need to be and where I'm comfortable with my body and the work that is put in to this transformation.
I will be back with further treadmill updates today.

Waiting to hear how those last 10 minutes went! ;-) I am glad you had a great time at dinner, and it sounds like you made some healthy choices as well. I know that I could have MUCH MORE than a sliver of ice cream cake!
Good for you!
I totally understand your cardio crisis! I've been having the same problem lately. I set out to do my workout and can only trudge through the first few minutes. Yesterday I had to break it up because I just couldn't keep going
Good for you but it will take time to work up on the treadmill. Don't be too hard on yourself. Baby steps :o)
