All the time. But I hide this from my kids, so don't rat me out.<br /><br />Last night's dinner ... a huge bowl of spinach greens and spring salad mix, dried cranberry and apricot, blue cheese, a handful of almonds, and a grilled tender steak cut into thin strips and served over the salad.

She came to my house from an hour away, rang the doorbell, and I didn't answer it because I was exercising. She left knowing what I had done. <br /><br />I did learn from that though. I will NEVER put a workout that high on my priority list ever again.ThE MidLiFe CrUiSeRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958004873717796137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441321654725706224.post-70893915048427266522010-12-10T23:49:48.009-07:002010-12-10T23:49:48.009-07:00OK.

I don't have time to work out." But I have to remember that I'll never regret working out, but I will most likely regret NOT working out. And if I am that busy and stressed out, even just doing 20-30 minutes of something, even just a couple times around my block will clear my head, kick in the endorphins, and help me de-stress!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826316246643683510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441321654725706224.post-92034509779668196262010-12-10T22:08:49.935-07:002010-12-10T22:08:49.935-07:00hungry runner girl,

Today I skipped my morning spin class because it was so cold outside and the car was frosted over (no choice here, my car is without heat for another couple of days...POO!). SO! I decided that I would go to my college's gym and do a treadmill HIIT session. I was sore from pump, but I could still do the heart-pounding, sweat-inducing run. It was nice! <br /><br />I never let sore muscles get me down. Just switch it up! And, for morning workouts I lay everything out the night before. And, since it has gotten colder, I have been actually wearing some of my gym clothes to bed. Ha! Works like a charm. :)<br /><br />Once my dad installs my new heater (probably early next week -yay!), I will be back to my 5:30am gym classes.
