Status Quo

Good morning!

Life has been on auto-pilot this week.  A nasty cold has hit the fam - some have faired better than others.  Superman has it the worst.  I'm a close second.  The princesses seem to have beat it pretty quickly - thankfully!!!

Updates
Picked up treadmill.  Superman put it together Sunday evening.  Wasn't too bad - maybe took an hour.  Hooray!  I LOVE it!  I try to get on everyday.  Due to my cold I've been walking.  Only one 3 mile run - very slow.

Researched ACE PT course at local community college. Unfortunately - they do not offer an online course.  Pooh!  There's a hybrid - half in class, half online but its held on Wed evenings July - August.  No can do....We are planning to be at the beach for a majority of the summer.  I don't want to have to come back mid-week just for a three hour class. So....I've decided to wing it.  I'll purchase the study materials and work on my own.  I'm nervous about this approach b/c I'm not terribly good at self-discipline.  On the up-side, it will much cheaper - I am only forking out $ for the books.  School would be another $300.  OUCH!  Plus - if I find I'm struggling with the materials, I can wait till the fall to take the course.

Exercise
With the cold - I've been scaling back my running.  I think it might be good to take a week "off".  Sleep has been lacking - getting maybe 5 hrs/night and that really affects my energy level.  Decided not to do the 5K this weekend.  Girls are not into it and I'm not prepared to run with a 100+ lb jogger.  I'm trying to recruit a couple of people to run the metric marathon at the beginning of next month.  It's a super flat course and hopefully the weather will be good.  Definitely a small race.  We'll see....

Eats
Doing OK - eating clean most of the week.   Had a coupon (BOGO) for Chipolte.  My weakness!!  So I had to use it on Tuesday;).  Big chix burrito w/a huge blob of guac!  YUMMY!!!  Major tummy troubles all day yesterday and all night.  I think the ground turkey I used on my salad was on the old side.  UGH!  Just hope today is normal....

So glad the weekend is almost here.
