… you’d laugh.

I woke up early this morning, as is my normal for a day when I don’t have to be anywhere by 8am. On the days when I have to go to work, the alarm is just barely enough to arouse me from sleep.  Anyway, I took advantage of the cool, early morning to take a walk, about a mile or so. Then came home and did my Cardio Barre workout. I skipped my walk yesterday– I like to work out before I eat and I was so hungry that I went ahead and had dinner. And then I got lazy, so I chose not to work out. All night, I kept reminding myself that I have a goal I am trying to hit… so I woke up this morning and got it in good, burning about 318 calories. It’ll do.

I have lunch plans today, so I washed my hair and now I am sitting under my hair dryer:

Except that’s not the bonnet I have. I’m using this one:

Sexy, huh? I know!

I still haven’t measured :gulp: I actually don’t even remember where I put the tape measure I just bought. I don’t know why I have such an aversion to it. I just… don’t want to do it. I don’t know. I am odd.

I spent most of my week a few lbs up, even climbing to 239, but as of today am back down to my Tuesday weight. Exercise seems to make a big difference for me. My days off were not much help at all, so it’s good to be back on routine. And it’s good that I can take a few days off and pick it back up!

I’m loving that it’s a long weekend! Weekends are my time to be selfish and spend time on ME. I’m on a mission. I will succeed.

I hope everyone is having a fabulously healthy day, and if you celebrate Independence Day, Happy 4th!

First I have to give a shout out to everyone who was so supportive yesterday. I feared a lot of ‘be thankful you even HAVE a dad!’ and ‘at least your dad wants to see you’, kinds of comments, which, I suppose would be fair to leave but I still wouldn’t want to see/read/deal with them. So thanks for sensing the kind of support I needed and givin’ it to me!

Second, yesterday sucked. I got out of work early on the premise that I was going to see my dad. I went to the salon instead. Well, I tried to go to the salon. It seems like everytime I go, I get lost. I take the wrong exit every fricken time. There are 2 exits to Highway5 in Canton. I always take the first and it’s the wrong one. Or I completely drive past it and end up in freaking Chattanooga. Not really, it’s Woodstock but may as well be Tennessee! [Read more →]
