Yup - still here

Hello. I haven't abandoned this old blog yet. My son is being a typical surly teen and my husband is working 7 days a week and I am tired. I cried all the way to work yesterday.

Despite my utter lack of interest, that magical time change is making the whole getting up a 5 am thing a reality. I've gotten up and exercised every day this week. Woot! Not doing so great tracking food, but since I eat the same thing every day (except dinner) and I plan & cook it all in advance, its pretty good stuff.

After things slow down with hub's work (after the new year) I am planning for us to do a 3 day weekend down in Helen Ga - lord knows we need to get away. I think we're all pretty burned out.

I know this isn't very exciting. My low back and shins have been bothering me some, so running has been limited. But I've been doing some in the neighborhood, using the elliptical for my interval training, and trying to do 20 minutes of slower but good speed cardio post weights.

I just have to keep reminding myself that I can't out-train poor nutrition. Food intake is the critical piece.
