A Sonic Run

I had modest goals yesterday but knew they would be 100% excuse proof.

Then whoa, people show up, a bunch of stuff starts happening, you help someone else out at their home - and you get off schedule and super busy.

I did not end up doing the housework on my home after all.

I did end up with free time after 8 pm. before a 'Sonic run' as we call them here.

First off, I quickly got in a 20 minute walk/run to get in some HIT cardio = a run before a Sonic run. One of my dogs came with me and I combined quality time with them - doing a multitask which saves time.

Then the actual run (we actually do drive there) to Sonic.

Now here is where some people (and how I really do admire their stoicism) would have ordered iced water.

Or a diet drink (not an option for me - I dislike fake sweetners), or nothing and groussled on about how unfair dieting is OR they would have ordered a large candied blast (this last option is what I used to do) and determined out loud to start the diet later.

My best option: order a small plain milkshake (I stay away from any added candies since that just has way too much sugar) and then slowly eat only half of it. I know, 'ouch!'. But you really do get used to and really end up preferring this. Sonic fun AND no guilt. Just toss out the rest of it.

YOUR BODY IS NOT A LANDFILL AND EATING SOMETHING TO SAVE THROWING IT OUT MAKES YOUR BODY A LANDFULL.

This is the most reasonable compromise. I still get the going to Sonic having some ice cream in the summer fun-but don't gain weight.

Quite frankly, this was almost painful at first as I used to be a big eater and would order a large Blast with crushed candy and eat the whole thing and still be wanting more. Those days are long over. That was my obesity eating habit.


Exercise:

Later I just did a straight through upper body workout in about 10 mins - I do not pause between sets but just do another exercise so I constantly work the full 10 mins, with only seconds in any pauses between sets. Another time saver.

But by doing my little fitting in exercise I had already done a couple of sets very early in the day. Literally just walking to the weights picking up the 3 lb. dumbbells and doing 10 side lateral raises.

Goals accomplished: A 20 minute HIT cardio
Upper body weight workout: at least 10 min.

I am going to aim for a bum day and light cardio. Priority today is cleaning the house - I cannot stand a not spotless home - shudder.

GOALS: Bum day (don't get behind on this!)
ab pull ins (easy to do when cleaning)

Fit ins: heel raises; side leg lifts (these are the best 'hidden' exercises)

might do but not stressing to have to do: some quad work

Gotta get working!
