Fun stress, for a change
This week all I can think about is getting ready for a cocktail party/baby shower that I’m giving on Saturday night. I’ve been planning it for a couple of months and now all the last minute things are falling into place, but there still seems to be so much to do - not the smallest task of which includes cleaning my entire house!!! It’s not horribly dirty, but I like to have it SUPER-shiny-clean when I have company over for a big party like that. So that’s what I’ll be doing tomorrow…that should count as exercise, right, since I don’t do it every day? Totally counts.

Let’s see….Tuesday was bowling night, and I did well. I ate a tuna sandwich before we left so that I wasn’t tempted by the food there. I brought my own bottle of water so that I wouldn’t drink soda. And I even managed to turn down free pepperoni pizza when the team next to us had leftovers they were trying to get rid of! I knew that I was full from my sandwich, plus it was after 7pm and my rule is no eating after 7:00!!

Bowling kept us out late though, so I didn’t get up to do my Fit to Strip DVD before work….I brought my workout clothes and went for a 4 mile run at lunch, though, so I still got some exercise in, though it was cardio instead of toning.

Speaking of toning - after taking a few months off this summer, I’m going to start seeing my personal trainer again. A friend and I go together and he gives us a 2-for-1 discount basically - she gets to attend my sessions and I attend hers, so we split the cost, and it’s fun to do together. We took the summer off because she owns a business where they arrange international student exchanges, and summer is their busy busy time so she was working practically 24/7 and couldn’t make it to the gym. But starting Oct 2, we’re back into it two nights a week and my goal is to get my upper body toned & ready for that strapless wedding gown!!

Yesterday I entered all my food into Sparkpeople at the beginning of the day and stuck to it, so I ended right in my target range. Even got in all my calcium & iron, which is where I usually miss! I’ve entered my food for today and am right on track….here’s to another day in my range!
