A pat on the back

because I did end up doing the workout after all.

Went from GBs house to Baja Fresh for the kids dinner, GB kept warning me not to take anything, and I like the good girl I am, didnt. Came home and after dilly-dallying for an hour, got on the tmill and did my usual workout.

Sweating, not being able to push myself, but got 12000 steps on the pedometer.
So in the final tally, this is much better than sitting on the couch, hogging, feeling low and guilty because didnt move. Even tho I am at the same level distance and speed wise as 3 months ago! Oh, well, atleast I moved.
