Continental... hmm

Hello from Baltimore, Maryland! I am on the computer in the lobby of our hotel, watching over the continental breakfast. Not very uplifting to be completely honest. I was careful making my breakfast decisions: a piece of whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, an apple and black tea. I looked at the yogurt and decided just drinking some milk would be a better option for my calcium. WRONG! Two types of milk: Whole and 2%. SERIOUSLY? Why, if you're only going to have one kind of milk, would you not provide just a little bit more variety?

Whatever. Last night we did quite a bit of walking and I took advantage of the Hotel's exercise facility. I now feel bad for ever calling the wellness center ghetto, because this place only had a bike, a Stairmaster(TM) and a treadmill on which the incline did NOT work. I did 15 minutes on the stairmaster and half an hour on the non-inclined treadmill.

Also, on the treadmill, I got brave, and I ran for just a little while. It is a little easier on my ankle now that I weigh a little less. So, that's cool.

In other news, I'm really tired because I didn't get very good sleep last night. We didn't go to bed until after midnight and then I kept getting woken up by stray alarms from cell phones and our ridiculous in-house alarm clock. And then, also, one of my roommates snores... like an outboard motor. I am NOT used to that!

Today is exploring Washington D.C. so I'll be wearing my pedometer to judge whether or not I walk enough to constitute exercise for the day.
