Mood/Thoughts:
TGIF! TGIF! TGIF!
I've hated work this week... not that anything has been different. I've just been getting more and more fed up with doing my job. I feel like I'm wasting my life away there. The only thing getting me through is doing extensive research on toiletry making.
I've decided to try making all natural, preservative free bath and body products.
I ordered some essential oils this week, and as soon as they arrive I will make my first project -- bath salts. I'm starting really small/easy to get the hang of it. My skin is really finicky, and I'm tired of buying lotions, etc. from places like Bath & Body Works only to break out in a rash. So, that's pretty exciting, I guess... the product-making, not the rash. LMAO! Also, I've been really enjoying baking, and I wanted something else to make that I couldn't eat. Hubby picked on me the other day and said, "
Don't make anything chocolate flavored, or you might eat that, too." Nice!
We're going out of town this weekend, so my log will probably be sporadic or nonexistent.
Shit! I just realized I had my progress dates wrong in my log.
Oh, also yesterday was the hardest of all days to stick to the program. They had a Reese's Cup ice cream cake from Coldstone Creamery for a birthday, so I ended up craving chocolate like CRAZY! At night, I ended up giving in and having a miniature Hershey's bar... it wasn't quite the same thing, but what can ya do?

HIIT 30/60
5mph/10mph x 4 cycles
3mph/10mph x 2 cycles
I started getting really lightheaded, dizzy, and seeing stars during the 4th recovery cycle. I backed off and walked for the last two recoveries. I didn't want to pass out. LOL!! I ate half a banana beforehand since cardio was so difficult after my last no carb day. That's probably how I lasted more than 3 minutes this time. I am just going to do what I can do after no carb days, and I'm not going to beat myself up over not doing a lot.

We always have short days at the gym on Fridays so that we can grocery shop afterwards.
