    So, I am seemingly "back on track" food-wise after this w/e. It was definitely a weekend off since I drank like a fish but didn't really do too bad in the food dept (except sodium).

    I have been stunningly tired last week and this week so have been incredibly unmotivated to exercise. I was on the treadmill for 30 min on Monday and nothing last night (barely made it to 9 pm before I headed to bed. Actually started busting a move toward bed around 8:15 but needed a shower first.) I have no energy to do my c25k whatsoever. I just totally hit a wall, which is weird. I have yet to try a burpee since I am pretty much 2x the weight of most people here.. I will have to see if there is a modified one I can do....

    On the other side, I have managed to start taking stairs at work more often so that's at least something. I am also thinking that even if I get a little exercise in during this silliness, I am not going to feel guilt or anger that I am not doing it "like I did a few weeks ago" I think that, sometimes, I get into my own head and say "well, if you are not going to do an ______(insert time amount here) then just forget it! I think even doing something for 10, 20, 27 etc min is better than 0 minutes.

    Hopefully, things will straighten out and I will be able to get my energy back. (hopefully just the course I am teaching that ends Oct 17??) then I can really get back at things.

    I wonder if I'm doing them wrong. I don't feel them in my butt at all -- it's all in my quads!!!

    Yeah, I have to do 5 at a time. Last week was my first real week back to exercise, so I'm pretty out of shape still, and suddenly here I am exercising in one form or another 2 and 3 times per day! My body is in shock!! Then I go home and tell myself I have to get those burpees done before I can eat my dinner...and by the time I'm done with those I'm back to sweating and breathing hard all over again, just like I was in the middle of my Jazzercise class!!

    But I can be pretty determined when I choose to be, and "challenges" are just the thing to stir up the competitive side of me -- not to compete with all of you, but to conquer the challenge itself!!

    My legs are hurting a lot today...probably, by the time I'm done with this day I'll be doing only 2 or 3 burpees at a time tonight! I already went out and ran/walked this morning (1.5 miles), then this afternoon on my lunch hour I'll be walking again (3 miles), then tonight Jazzercise. After I get home and done shuttling kids to church, then it'll be burpee time. It's gonna be a good day for calorie burning!! Tho I haven't looked to see how many calories I burn with the burpees, because I have to take so many pauses during them. Maybe tonight, just for fun, I'll do that.

    My daughter got me a Polar FT7 for my birthday on Monday, so that's gonna kick things into gear for me as well, because I know, that I'm going to get competitive with myself about how many calories I can burn up with exercise!!
