Winter is back

Boo! Yeah, that's right, I boo you, Winter! One run outside and then winter comes roaring back, keeping me cooped up in the gym. Speaking of the gym, LA Fitness tracks your check-ins and you can see the dates and times online. So far in March, I've gone to the gyms more times than February! That was a goal of mine that I came up with last week, but when I checked my check-in history I was already 2 sessions away from tying February. I was rockin' it without even knowing it. Sometimes, I even amaze myself.


I haven't stepped on the scale since Sunday, and I don't think I'll be weighing myself this Sunday either. I'm putting way too much pressure on that number right now. I was getting too deep into needing to see a decrease in order to be happy. So, I'm continuing my plan, but I'm skipping the weigh in part. I had a goal of losing the last 3 pounds by the end of March, but I'm going to cancel that goal and make a new one that doesn't put unhealthy pressure on me. My new goal is to go to the gym 5 more times in March than I did in February and to kick my stupid nighttime peanut butter habit by April 1. I usually put a little peanut butter on my Vitatop for dessert at the end of the day, but a little has turned into a lot which is turning into spoonfuls of peanut butter. Not OK! I'm going to say no to peanut butter all together after breakfast. It's just how it has to be.


All this snow is making me more and more excited for Twins baseball season!!!

I want to be here right now!

My mom has a 20 game season ticket package, plus 2 tickets to opening day and I am so excited! Baseball soothes me. And for those of you who don't live in Minnesota, or haven't been to Target Field, maybe it's time for a trip? You're missing out on one of the most amazing experiences.
It's snowing and it's the heavy stuff with a layer of ice underneath. I left class at 8:30 last night and it was raining ice pellets. I couldn't even look up as I walked because those pellets would sting as the hit me in the eyes, so I stared at my boots which were getting soaked, and shuffled the 4 or 5 blocks to my car. It was miserable! I want to go running OUTSIDE! I guess I'll have to settle for a treadmill workout. :-(
