Today I managed to drag my butt out of bed and do the WATP Walk and Jog DVD with a fair bit of energy and some requisite enthusiasm. It wasn't horrible, by far. And it was much better than Tuesday morning when I attempted and failed to complete a 20 minute WW workout. (potential TMI alert: I was having the kind of cramps that radiate down into your upper thighs turning them into jello. So it made working out very difficult. And I'd been having cramps for days by that point. In fact, I'm still having cramps. And I'm beginning to think the pain 'down there' isn't so much cramps as something kidney related, or something else. eeep. Because this is day 5 of crampwatch. And the period is pretty much finished... There shouldn't be pain if the bleeding has stopped. And pain makes me cranky. God help me if ever I have real serious chronic pain. They might as well put me out to pasture...)

Anyway, Wednesday I was still feeling crappy and couldn't face the commute into work, so I decided to work from home (I need to do that more often - sleeping in AND time to do a post-work workout. This coming into the office to work is pretty much unnecessary...) I stayed in my pjs all day but still managed to do the 2-Mile WATP and the WW toning/strength video in the evening. In between running up to the kitchen to make/check on dinner. Fun! But it felt faboo.

So this exercise thing? It's pretty much engrained now. Which is great - where I want it to be. Now I just need to focus on the chocolate consumption. Because it's high. And really much higher than it should be...Much higher than is probably healthy considering my tendancies towards insulin resistance... And even though I know what it does to me, why it's bad for me, all of that, I still eat it... I love it, I don't want to deny myself chocolate and sugar indefinately, but I need to find a happy medium. And if I can't, then I have to consider that I may not be able to eat chocolate much anymore...

Yeah, like that's gonna happen...
