Real post!

So as per my stair challenge - I took them today. If you are anywhere in this horrible heat streak we've been having you'd realize that the humidity is absoutely horrendous outside. So I trekked inside and walked past a very nice man waiting for the elevator to the stairs In the back of the already hot building. I battled my way up them taking a stop or a pause out of sheer exhaustion (hi, my name is Mel and I'm not really you know...that fit) until I got to the 8th floor. Our staircases only have reentry on the 4th and 8th floor so I had to take the elevator for a floor. I pressed the button the doors open and co-worker S is standing in their looking chipper and fantastic as usual (COVET her wardrobe). I'm sure she had to think about why I was taking the elevator from the 8th floor so I commented about the heat and then admitted I was taking the stairs. Let's hope this out of breathedness was related to the fact that this morning I woke up early to go to the gym. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill at about 3.8 mph at an 8.0 incline. I don't know what that means in real actual life but let's just say it was SUPER JACKED UP incline. I was sweating like crazy and walked outside and felt worse cause it was humid and hot already at 6:30 in the morning.

I had a KICK ASS lunch - courtesy of the Poppa. Tortelli soup, grainy bread, cherries and grapes and a piece of pepperjack cheese. Top off with a Diet Cherry Coke (Tuesday Task 3) and a 100 cal pudding and it was amazing. I just had a few pretzels for a mid afternoon snack. I'm perfectly content. However, I grabbed a banana before I left for the gym and was so hungry and need of on the go sustenence that I stopped by 7/11 for a Slimfast and...a bagel. We could've gone unhealthier - it wasn't my love affair with Dunkin Donuts but I need to have all meals healthy.

Don't know what's for dinner and maybe I can get another leisurely walk in tonight. Now let's see if my glutes are hurting tomorrow morning....::evil laughter::

8 floors (in the heat, even) is pretty impressive, girl!

your lunch description is making me hungry. My lunch was good too though - salad with very fresh green leaf lettuce, coarsely chopped tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and lite balsamic vinaigrette. though i'm getting hungry now!
