Day 24

I am writing to you while I indulge in a bowl of low fat Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream, and boy is it delicious. And while on the topic of food, I have started to notice that I am full after my smaller portions these days. Its a great feeling to know that I don't need a huge dinner plate to make me happy anymore.

When I went up to the house to workout today I also had to play Tooth Fairy to my youngest BIL, because my MIL called to tell me she forgot to put money under his pillow and that she had to call the Tooth Fairy this morning to find out what went wrong...bad weather in the lower-48.

Anyhow, I went to put on a movie and turned the T.V. on and low and behold it was the Disney channel... which meant that they had hooked up the cable downstairs. The only down side to it is you have to change the channel from the kitchen T.V. because its not hooked up on its own yet. So I had to run up two flights of stairs and find something I wanted to watch, and then run back down stairs to watch it. At least I am working some stair steps into my work out now. So I watched Say Yes to the Dress, House Hunters, Rent, and started the Moving out selling your house show too, but didn't watch the whole thing. I jogged 3miles, biked 6miles, and altogether I burned 630cals. I can't wait to go up tomorrow and do the same thing, but this time I am going up a littler earlier so I can watch something a little different. Its funny how I can't watch a whole movie while working out, but I can watch almost 2hrs of cable. You can tell that I don't have cable at home because of house excited I am that I can now watch it while working out.

I am really scared about starting work next week and still being able to try and find time to work out. I know I can go up to the house at nights, and my MIL already told me that she would keep the kids out of the basement so they wouldn't bother me. I think I prefer to be there alone, doing my thing. But I know I will have to, because there is no well in H-E-double hockey sticks I am going for a walk/run outside when its this cold and icy. I am not that Alaskan sorry. That's why I can't wait for summer, because I can go outside when its 9pm and walk for hours and its still light outside, not icy, and not ass freezing cold. I will figure it out I am sure.
