20 - Week Fitness Challenge: Week 1, Day 3

I'm having a lot of psychological hunger though. I was just telling Mercury Man, I can't be hungry! I just had a big bowl of oatmeal, grrrrr, with raspberries and brown sugar. But I still felt very hungry so I ate some emergency carrots (I keep a bag on my nightstand) and drank another big glass of water. Then I left the house and walked to the library!

I am very sensitive to salt meaning I bloat very easily when I add salt to my food or eat salty foods, my face and ankles especially will get very swollen. But my body responds just as quickly to no salt, too, here's a pic from yesterday, compare it with the pics from my Kids back to school thread:

Mercury Man says he can't see a difference but it's very noticeable to me. Anyway! I had a full night's sleep so I feel wonderful this morning. I almost pulled another all-nighter because I got all caught up in this book project I'm working on, but I forced myself to stop and go to bed. I am so glad I did.

Early birthday present from Mercury Man, he got us a family membership to the YMCA specifically to help me with exercise. and this way we all can go which is nice. So we're all going tonight. I'm going to take a spinning class (ibop said she might do the class with me), then afterwards we're going to swim for a bit. I'm a little nervous because I went to a spinning class a few years ago once and it was very intense. I am psyched about going though and actually looking forward to it. They also have yoga classes!! and a weight room and lots of other stuff. We're going to go at least 3 times a week because I need to do my spinning workout at least that much. The boys also want to do karate and they have a class right before my spinning class starts, woooooot!
