OK, Monday. Right back on track! I RSVP'd to a long run with DD in the jogging stroller tomorrow morning, so I declared today a "cross training day". I, personally, totally doubt that time on the elliptical trainer ever does much for anyone...but today it was enough for me to get my legs moving, break a little sweat, and watch some Olympic swimming. I am so moved by the Olympic Games and the athletes and so discouraged by the American companies and the aggressive marketing. I know, I know sponsors pay for the games to even happen. But do even one of those elite athletes ever darken the door of a McDonald's? I highly doubt it!! (I don't, and I don't rely on my body for my livelyhood.) Aggressive and gratuitous advertising aside, it was great to see some of the games for a bit this am.
*as an aside, we are not watching at home because we don't have cable TV. This year NBC has decided that any and all broadcasts, TV and Internet, can only be seen if you have a cable TV contract that includes at least one NBC channel. We pay for internet, but can't watch the Olympics on the internet (like we have the past few games) because we don't have pay TV. Isn't that somehow against the spirit of the games? I'm pretty peeved!!*
So, my workout today was good. I feel good overall. I haven't seen any changes to my body yet - but my mood is definitely much better and I feel like I am not so deep in a hole. I am still making some bonehead food choices (wine, cheese, and a baguette for dinner the other night...ice cream yesterday) but I don't feel so negative about them. I'm tackling one thing at a time. First I am getting my body moving, then I'll work on fueling it better, then we'll see what else falls in line...
