Steppin' & Sweatin'

Today was a lovely Sunday. I started out the morning hanging with my little boys and gave DH a little time to sleep in and run some errands. Then I got "me" time. I had a nice, quiet lunch at Panera and then saw "It's Complicated". Loved it! Great, laugh out loud movie! After that it was time for cardio....I did 20 min on the treadmill and then planned on the elliptical. Instead I eyed the stair climbing machine that I've been intimidated by for the past 18 months. I attempted it one time about 6 months ago and survived about 2 minute, tops. So today I decided I would get on it and do 5 minutes. After 5 I decided on 10...then 15.....I managed 20 minutes, level 5 on this machine that previously scared the wits out of me. I was tough, sweat dripping down my back and forehead, heart rate stayed elevated. Felt awesome!! I finished off with 10 min on the elliptical for a solid 50 min cardio session. The stair machine is now going to become my cardio friend!

Food was ok today. not great. Improving. Back to work tomorrow. Back to a normal routine. I have my food prepped for the day. Lots of veggies and healthy choices. I'm going to make it a great day!
