The good:

I went jogging again! I’m so proud of myself :D I know I did more actual jogging this time, too, because I made it home faster AND I went a different route which added 0.2 miles to the trek. We’re talkin’ a 10 minute difference, here. I brought my iPod along with me this time and I think the music really helped me focus and push myself more — at one point I was facing a rather large uphill and a particularly fantastic song came on (Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz), I just focused on the music and looked either at my feet or the houses around me. If I looked up at the hill I got discouraged by its hugeness, so I decided I was better off just not looking up! And I made it! And I was proud! And so was DH! :) I’m still a very slow jogger, but my endurance is already picking up (probably from that livingroom cardio and strength work).

Yay for getting in shape. I’m excited, y’all! If you couldn’t tell by the proliferation of exclamation marks in this post!!

The bad:

Eating was somewhat off-track today, even though I managed to stay at my points target. The details are what make the next part of this post…

THE UGLY: 

Somehow I managed to stay at my points target while eating 17 points’ worth of Ritter Sport chocolate… Not sure how to explain that. I even wrote “ENOUGH” on a post-it and put it on the chocolate when I had the max I would feel comfortable eating, but then I just took the post-it off and doubled my chocolate consumption. Oh well, it seems to have worked out okay somehow… All that sugar’s not good for me but I guess at least I accounted for it.

Tomorrow’s plan is to eat a large lunch and a light-ish dinner and do TurboJam cardio (20 or 40 mins, I will decide tomorrow). I’ll also try to find something interesting for you guys to read about besides my inane personal ramblings. :)
