Last night's walk on the treadmill was pretty darn good. I got into a groove, just like I used to and Fabu-girl popped up for a while...We completed 2 miles easy together and then she decided that was enough for her and I struggled through the last mile on my own...finishing 3 miles in 48 minutes. Not bad...I was satisfied, since it's been 6 months since I was running last. You lose your cardio training within 2 weeks of stopping, so after 6 months, you have totally lost it...I'm starting to get it back already, I can feel it. I wasn't doing 3 miles back then much...so I'm happy with where I am after less than a week.

Today? I'm struggling to stay awake! I slept HORRIBLY! Cramps! UGH! I woke up at 4am with BIG TIME cramps and wandered around the house only to realize we don't have ANYTHING at home to take for cramps...I'll be remedying that tonight after work. (Then, I finally get to work, and of course, the Premsyn PMS is outdated...I took it anyway.) I was up for about 1/2 hour before I curled up tight in the bed and prayed to go back to sleep. Then, Kita came over and curled up against my belly and created her healing heat and we both fell asleep...I woke up JUST before Hubby's alarm and asked him if he happened to have any Tylenol...nope. After Kita came back in from her morning outing, we curled back up again and slept until it was time to get up...at which time we both struggled to get up....not enough sleep last night! Ugh...not even the morning coffee is helping. I doubt even if I'd had time to stop at Starbucks it would help...I'm just wishing the day would go faster. Maybe lunch will help.

That's another thing...I weighed in and am not too happy...I'm up 6 pounds over my goal...gotta work on that. (not all this week, of course, but I thought it would go down with my walking this week) AND I'm hungry almost constantly today! PAH! I eat something and it doesn't seem to stop my stomach from grumbling!! What is up with THAT?!?

I think that the increase in exercise is causing all of this...and after a little while, it will go away. Next month should be more tolerable...on all fronts. I'm thinking I want to write a book on my training and walking the 3-day, so I'm going to try to journal every day...or close to it. Thoughts, training, physical stuff going on...etc. Everything I can think of, then I can wade through it and write something from it...33 weeks of journal entries should be enough to write a book with, right? We'll see...I seem to have a lot of things I want to write about. *sigh*
