Thoughts: I really didn’t feel like doing cardio today, but I dragged myself to the fitness room anyway and dutifully punched in my intervals even though the “good” treadmill was DOA again and I had to use the stupid chintzy one that doesn’t let you enter your speeds directly into a numeric keypad. I had to hit up and down arrows that changed the speeds in 0.1 mph increments the entire time. Let me tell you, it absolutely SUCKS when your intervals are 1 mph apart, and even worse, when you have to drop from 8.0 mph all the way down to 5.0 mph.

I normally do Saturday as a free day, but since I won’t be visiting my family until tomorrow, I’m saving it for Sunday.

Sigh. No ice cream today.

Ugh….too tired to write more right now. I’m going to go have an omelette and a shake, then get back here with more useless information to share.
