Monday Madness Check-in....

How did everyone do today? I am still in my jammies. I'm sipping on a latte (from Caribou Coffee, not Starbucks) that DH (the dear) stopped and got for me on his way home. I have done a few 15 minute organizing/clean out projects. Took (or attempted to take) several naps and dried a lot of snow play clothing over and over. I've got italian sausage in the oven to go with our sghetti sauce and pasta, salad and homemade bread from the bread machine. Tomorrow it is back to the grind. No excuses. I think I'm really suffering from winter depression and stress overload. Time to get a grip again. Still struggling with what to do about my job. DH tells me to quit and quit now. But I don't want to overstress him with $$ issues, so I need to run down a few ideas and leads before I put my notice in. Money isn't everything, but it's always nice to have some for the extra stuff and I hate budgeting. I have a feeling I'm going to have to learn to do it and like it (sort of like that love/hate relationship I have with the dreadmill!).

On another note...has anyone seen the new commercials for the 2004 Summer Olympics? I hear that Greece is REALLY far behind in completely the venues and also security. I'm sure it will all come together. I love watching the Olympics, winter and summer, it doesn't matter. And I like watching all of the different sports (although weight lifting and wrestling I'd probably skip). I love the stories behind the athletes, especially the ones overcoming adversity. The opening ceremonies are always spectacular. I'm looking forward to it! How about you guys????

More nasty weather on the way. Batten down the hatches, Princess, more's a-comin'!

Hugs.

I got a 5 mile run in this morning and finally did some weights.Exercise was great but food....sheesh!!I think I'm suffering from the "I love food and sweats never get too tight"syndrome.

Excellent job on the run and weights, though. Happiness is an inside job, remember?????

I haven't gotten my butt out of the computer chair except for eating breaks.

Live With Passion!

I found myself watching "Mystic Pizza" (love that movie) and reading "First" magazine while sipping tea and eating a cookie.

I'm working on my 7th day of good healthy eating with no extra snacks except for the two that I designate at midmorning and midafternoon and 6 out of 7 days of exercise in one form or another. I've journaled every day and so enjoying it and enjoying my stretch each evening that has definitely helped in the end of day unwind period. I've chugging that water too! I have to say I'm sure that has been helping me make the bad days better and the good days really Great!

It's been snowing here since this morning and now it's sticking. Yesterday I was playing golf in 70 degree weather and right now the wind chill is 7 degrees. I was taking the day off, getting things cleaned up here from the weekend, laundry done, and feeling quite comfy and toasty in the house when a customer called and wanted me to show her a house about 25 minutes away.........in the snow, ice, and freezing wind. I love my job! LOL

Finished my workout around 8:15 and have been catching up with posts since. Cardio was really good - walked/ran 3 mi in 34.37 min! Also did about 20 min of weights - abs and UB, since my legs felt like lead.

Trying to figure out which leftovers to dive into - I'm not really hungry yet, but I feel it coming on, and the leftovers are all looking a bit heavy. This might be time for some steamed veggies with parmesan, a slice of fiber-heavy bread, the rest of my artichoke salsa, and some deli turkey. No salad - I'm sick of salad.

Hi, everyone. Today was a rest day from workouts for me, but tomorrow a.m. it's hit the weights with the Firm Sculpting video. I'm still so sore! Today, I did stay On Plan, as they say in WW, and stuck with my eating points allowance. Even had enough for a cup of Oregon Chai.

Hope everyone gets some good shuteye tonight!
