JUST DO IT

from  WebMD.. PeteC122 le 27 mars 2006..

******************************************************************************
Mary Lou, you said : « I’m definitely sick of writing down everything I eat.. Let alone checking the calories..”  I certainly CAN and DO understand that! Now, having said that, I also must tell you that I am heartily sick and tired of having to check my blood sugars several times every day.. but, as a diabetic, I do so..

******************************************************************************

C’est bon de le relire.. moi je me rappelais plutôt de « Bin oui t’es écœurée, mais tu dois le faire, alors fais-le, un point c’est tout.. » mais ça..c’est plutôt, ce que MOI je ME dis maintenant.. (quand j’y arrive ).

He                 also has a bleeding blister at the back of his right ankle.. he'll buy new boots tomorrow, it won't be a luxury. He was courageous not to complain and finish both ways when we had a car at the bottom of Orford just in case.

I really need a day off.. but I'll at least try to do the Fit-Test.. I don't think I'll do better than last time :(

6h30 PM INSANITY ~ Week 3 Fit-Test ~ HOME FITNESS with Shaun-T
24 mins
This program is really the hardest I've ever done.. Maybe because I'm mixing it with the gym and hiking, maybe just beceause it's sooo cardio. I wish I had had a day off yesterday..But it was good to go on a hike .  I wasn't feeling it.. Thought I'd only do it as a WO.. Didn't wear my HR monitor.. But gave it my all as usual! Too bad I "pinched" my left lower back in the Power jumps. It didn't affect my score much but I'm not sure how I'll be tomorrow though I don't think it will very bad.
