Today's challenge: Getting through my work-out, staying on-calorie

Actual fitness:4x (about) 1-mile repeats at about 7:00-7:30 mile pace. 3 minute rest inbetween

Note on no caffeine and no sweet-n-low: Am enjoying the tea. Didn't really have much stomach upset yesterday. Nothing that sticks out.

Note on weight loss: I can actually feel that pound loss (my stomach feels flatter. Weird.) I think the second pound is on it's way out the door. I think my food transgressions last week may have put me behind a week now. Maybe if I don't overeat for a few weeks straight, I'll get back on track.

Note on picture: Tried out another Blue Bunny Bomb Pop flavor the other night. Sour Bomb pops with watermelon, top, then orange and then apple. It's definitely sour. But the trick is to not let the tip of your tongue soak up the initial bite. Instead place the bite in the middle of the tongue until it melts past the sour part, and goes into the sweet part. Ok, so I know what's the point of eating a sour bomb pop then? Well, it's not as sour. The kids liked it. It was ok. Still only 40 calories.
