that's also a lettuce salad with cottage cheese you see sitting there and yes, i know you're wondering if that's grape juice?! it totes is...NOT. a nice, refreshing glass of wine to keep this heart healthy ;) so, there u have it. eating a meal of only 350-400 calories and having a glass of wine for a healthy heart was kind of like going to the gym. if i would have went to the gym i would have probably came home and wanted to eat nacho's, a taco or something oh so greasy to crave my after workout hunger...which would have resulted to 1,000 calorie intake or so.so on that procrastinated too long excuse, i actually was very productive while i was procrastinating. i FINALLY got to my heaping mounds of laundry and got that all the dirty, clean. its sad to say that i don't think i had done laundry since i got back from cabo...or maybe right before i left. that was a month ago. yes, sick and wrong...i know! reference to my "day #2" blog and now you know why i have set the challenge of NO shopping during the month of july. i obviously have plenty of clothes and undergarments to last me a month ;)
so here it july 2 [happy bday t.v.] and i did make it to the gym. woke up this a.m. and finally laced up those tenny-runners and headed off to the gym. no pit-stops, no starbucks...just the gym. it felt good to be back there. the smell of sweat and b.o. nothing says good morn'n quit like that. i punched in my code and it took a bit longer for it to register in the system to actualy let me pass GO. ya, that code has been m.i.a. for about a month, but heck...it finally said have a nice workout.
where to begin? is what i thought as all these machines looked foreign, j/k. but they did do some rearranging while i was m.i.a. the elliptical was the first cardio piece i tackled, then to the bike [where i actually got called a sweatheart from a gentlemen beside me. here's the story, as i was wiping down my sweaty mess off the bike he leaned over and said, "hey, when you're done cleaning that would you mind cleaning my car?" LOL is what i wanted to do, but instead i just gave a nice, big smile and said, "sure, no prob." then that's when he told me i was a sweatheart. oh, my heart melted as its been awhile since a man has told me that, hehe. oh, did i forget to mention he was about 80-years-old. yes, those o.b.c.'s (guess what the initials stand for) luv me.] and then off to rowing [which i luv!] and ended with weights and stretching. so there was my day @ the gym...finally. see ya tomorrow gym and my o.b.c. man ;)
the remainder of my day was pretty uneventful. got a cavity filled...yuk! headed to verizon to get my treo looked @. its just been acting up a bit [ok, A LOT], but have no fear as the new iPhone 3G
is coming out july 11 [1/2 the price and double the speed. sounds like a win-win to me] and i am so hopping on-board this time to snag me one of them. my dad always tough me to never buy the first generation of something; i.e. a brand new car model. he says let the first generation come out and get all the tweaks worked out and by the second generation you can buy. so i am now taking his advice. thx dad! anywho, i have loved verizon as my carrier for the last eight years, but you know what...they've gotten expensive on me with my plan all the sudden. out with the old and in with the new. i think at&t will treat me very nice and i have to give others a chance. no need to stay in a dead-in relationship that is sucking all my money away. my bill has been outrageous 'cuz verizon seems to be the only carrier that charges extra for the internet package [an extra $44/month on top of the regular $99.99, ouch!]. i will actually be saving money with at&t so there it is. i will be one of them...one of those iPhone peeps walking around hand-in-hand with the iPhone. can't wait!then, i got home and immediately was on kid-duty [an hour early i might add]. i hung with the kiddos for a handful of hours...well, just three 'cuz then it was bedtime! yay, that's when i pull out my book and am almost finished with the best book ever, straight up and dirty. its a great read! a pretty darn funny memoir. not to laugh @ someone's life, but its a funny read. stephanie klein is a brilliant writer...if you like that funny stuff. [http://stephanieklein.blogs.com/].
so, there's my day. realizing i just wrote a novel maybe it was more eventful than i thought, but i doubt it. the weekend is nearing and we'll be celebrating our independence with lighting up the sky. hope everyone has some fun 4th plans and stays classy in their ruffles and lace...
check ya laters,
