Last night I did great. All of yesterday was outstanding, in my opinion. It was a rough, action-packed day at work, but I held firm. I came in 2 points UNDER my target 28, but couldn't bear to eat anything more. And to top everything off, as soon as I got home, I put on Run Lola Run and walked on the treadmill for a little over 30 minutes. I'm going to do the same tonight - different movie, same walking.
I had a little mishap: it was right at the beginning where "Lola" begins running, and I thought, "Lemme speed up and try to jog along". So I started jogging, and after about a minute I started getting really tired, so I touched what I THOUGHT was the slow-down button on the treadmill, but turns out it was the 10 button!! 10 meaning the highest speed!! So the treadmill's speed shot up quite significantly quite quickly. Luckily, before I was whipped off in a bloody mess, I managed to hop on the siderails and pulled the safety tab out of the "dash" of the treadmill, causing it to come to a stop. Whew!
In any case, I worked up a good sweat last night, and finished off the evening reading for about an hour, then drifting off to sleep. I set the alarm for 6am hoping to spend a little more time with the treadmill before showering this morning, but alas, it appears I am just not a morning person... yet. So I will continue to exercise right after work - I think that will work out for me!
