Last night didn't quite go as planned.  My friend had to work so I didn't go to the gym for a second time.  My body was feeling so exhausted last night that I fell asleep at 6pm and slept all night long.  I didn't end up making dinner but as a snack around 3 in the afternoon I had chicken salad on whole wheat crackers.

Yesterday was a good day though.  I got the rest I needed, I walked the dogs, I got in my cardio workout at the gym and I ate healthily.

After my kid went to school today I ended up sitting on the couch reading and fell asleep with my dog. Another thing you should know about me is that I LOVE sleep.  I need a minimum of 8 hours a night to function.  I can sleep anywhere, especially in the car.  If my hubby is driving, I usually fall asleep, especially on trips.  On a 14 hour drive I usually sleep at least 10 hours.  Crazy, I know.  So last night I got about 13 hours of sleep, which was awesome.

I'm lying in bed right now typing this but I'm about to get up to do a workout.  I'm going to do a treadmill walking workout with different inclines to simulate hiking.  Here's the workout...

-Start walking at 3.6 with 0 incline for 2 minutes
-Incline 4, 1 minutes
-Incline 8, 3 minutes
-Incline 12, 2 minute
-Incline 3, 1 minutes
-Incline 10, 2 minute
-Incline 12, 1 minutes
- Incline 7, 4 minutes
-Incline 12, 2 minutes
-Incline 6, 2 minutes

It's a 20 minute workout that you will feel in your legs.  I'm also going to do arms today.  I found this arm routine on Pinterest and I've done it a few times.  It's only 8 minutes long and it's meant to tone and pull in any flabby skin.  There aren't any weights, but by minute 5 you're arms will be burning.  Try it!  I'll also do some tricep and bicep exercises and pushups.  After my shower I'm going to walk the dogs and then do house work, dusting and vacuuming.  Then I'm going to paint!  I'm so eager to get out and start gardening, but with 20 cms of fresh snow on top of the mountains of snow we already have I have to do something else to get me in the mood for spring!

As for food today, for breakfast I had a yogurt cup mixed with 1/2 cup of harvest crunch.  For lunch I'll have a salad and then for dinner I'll make that Harvest rice that I was going to make last night.

I haven't weighed myself yet and I don't plan to until Friday so stay tuned for how I'm doing.  I'll list my measurements on Friday too, beginning measurements and what they are so far.  Wish me luck!
