A Shaky Start, a Special Date, and THE POWERMILL

This morning started with me feeling very shaky and very weak. I had a full day of exercise yesterday, before breastfeeding my baby girl throughout the night. Clearly my diet was insufficient. So, I basically had to eat like a horse before I felt any better: a bowl of plain Greek yogurt with a scoop of protein, blueberries, and walnuts; a liter of water; and a big beautiful omelette with spinach, ham, and mozzarella; and 3 small cups of coffee with heavy whipping cream. Yeah... O_O  I learned my lesson! I have to fuel my body well because it is a calorie burning machine right now between all the working out and breastfeeding!

This afternoon, my sweet 8 year old son took me out on a date. We went to the store where he bought me my own baby doll. Then, we went to Pizza Hut where he used his Book It certificate. It was a very sweet time to focus on him.

This evening, I hit the gym, and got acquainted with the "Powermill" aka The Stair Climber.  It's a pretty cool machine, and it gets challenging pretty quickly. My trainer told me to go for 30 minutes and go between levels 1 and 4. I did it, and I stayed between level 3 and 4. I was very sweaty, and when I got home, my family was sitting at the table, and the kids said, "Mom, your face is so red!"

The Powermill is no joke, but I think I love it.
