Today's challenge: staying on-calorie, hydration...perhaps cutting down to two coffees instead of three.

Actual fitness: 60 minute bicep and back work-out, would like to slip in a speed work-out-1 mile warm-up, 4x600 at 7 :30 minute per mile pace, with slower 200s unbetween, with 1 mile cool-down, my abdominal routine

note on day five no sweet-n-low: Did have some queasiness during the later half of the run yesterday

Note on picture: My sister-n-law contribute these Bugles to the party on Sunday. Wow! I'm addicted and I don't know why. They don't taste like chips, but I just can't describe the taste. But 1 1/4 cup of this is 160 calories. Pictured is a little over 1/2 cup so... about 80 calories.


Note on poem: I had a little battle with some cake yesterday.

The Sneaky Cake

I thought I was strong

When really I was weak

I thought I could resist

My temptation to sneak

My desire to put this cake

In my mouth

I was surprised at how fast

My diet went south

All it took was one little bite

For that monster cake

To hold with a vise

like grip over my will

Oh, please, I cried

Does cake control me still?

Over the next few minutes we fought

Me trying to stop my

My eating for naught

I wanted to win

Cause I want to be thin

But that cake was determined

To get me within

So, finally I pulled

out my last stop

The strategy that stops

cake from the top

I searched up high

looking for help

And there it was

high on the shelf

Up I climbed

high on a chair

And placed the cake

on top of there

And when I couldn't

reach it no more

I knew the cake

had lost this score

Then just to make

sure I had won

I changed my clothes

and went for a run

And took a breath of

fresh outside air

And erased the signs

Of the cake that would dare

Try to take my diet down

And make me gain weight

And make me frown

What I learned

after this day

Is vigilance

That's how I must stay

If I want

to keep this look

I must guard myself

From the sneaky

cake crook!
