This morning I woke up, put on my workout clothes, grabbed an apple to eat in the car, and was out the door before I could think about crawling back into bed. I went to the rec center and started my new C25K program to work on my speed. Instead of jogging and walking, and running and jogging with a bit of walking. That took 30 minutes, but I'm not sure what distance I actually went since I couldn't find how many laps are in a mile. I went 12 laps during the interval section and I would guess that was about 2 miles, so 10-minute miles. (*Update: I finally found the information, and the laps are 1/6th of a mile. I must really be turning into a runner if I can tell what a mile feels like.) Then I went to a 50 minute zumba class. It totally kicked my trash, I hated being the biggest person there, but it was fun and I'll be going back again.

For lunch I had a burrito with black beans, sliced grape tomatoes, avocado, salsa, and sour cream. For dinner we had cuzcuz (not Mediterranean couscous, but something like steamed polenta that they make in northeastern Brazil). Anyway, it had sausage and mozzarella in it, and we had it with green salsa. And I stayed away from sugar all day!
We spent pretty much the whole day cleaning and organizing the house, except for a break to get groceries at Costco. So I was too busy to eat poorly! All in all, I'd say it was a good day.
