I wasn’t feel well thru the night so I decided to not do my AM workout. It’s amazing how it affected my day, feeling tired and rundown for most of it. I got home after work knowing that I  need to go to the gym, especially since I clocked my food on my WW app only to find out when I eat dinner I will be 7 points over my allotment. :O So that kicked my butt into gear to get to the gym.

I do not miss the evening gym hours, with the parking lot full and the machines crowded as well. I finally found a treadmill and no one was going to get me off of it. I ran 35 minutes and then quit and restarted as I looked around me to make sure no one could call me out on it. I ran/walked incline for 19 minutes, restarted again. Then I ran 19 more minutes. What I found interesting was that because I restarted a few times, my brain saw 5 minutes, 10 minutes not 40 minutes or 50 minutes so I think that gave me more energy and didn’t make me feel bored. So I logged 73 minutes 5.75 miles. The best part when I logged my minutes in my WW activity app it said i burned 12 points! OOO I have some room for dessert now! 🙂

Since Friday, I have had no diet soda because I am trying to give up soda but most importantly the Aspartame that is in the soda. A few years back a coworker and I gave up the diet soda because we had read for the first time all the bad things Aspartame can do to your body, from headaches to breathing problems.  After the gym I went to the supermarket to stock up on fruit and some low cal snack. To my surprise Aspartame is in the sugar-free Jello, so I got regular. Aspartame was also in Dannon yogurt, so I got the WW yogurt. I didn’t realize how much stuff that I eat on a regular basis has this junk in it. Food for thought.
