Three Gold Stars

I worked out for three hours today! Yikes, that is five hours in two days. The scale was nicer to me this morning (down 3.5 from Sunday), so I must've had a food baby yesterday. Today is going to be a long day. Gus woke me up at 4:00 am (20 minutes before my alarm clock), and he had a big, smelly surprise just waiting for me. I did some push-ups and ab work since I was up so early, and then I headed to the pool. I got a long workout in at lunch since I'm leaving work a little late (coaching at TWU instead of TCC this week).
