30 minutes of weights and stretching and 36 minutes of elliptical with Bruce Willis

I think I can get this weight (not fitting in my jeans) stuff under control if I continue with no soda (I'm allowing one per week on Friday or Saturday). I honestly don't even crave it. I think it is b/c if I want one I know I have to wait till Friday. It has gotten rid of that all or nothing mentality.

Also, I'm going to be more diligent about weights. It feels soooo good! I miss it.

This week I"m going to focus on my posture. i have caught myself in the mirror while teaching and I"m all miss slouchy. That is fine for the bar (well not really--but needs to happen) but not for teaching. Looks terrible!

 Kitchen is still tore up. But we are done will all sanding so I starting the clean up yesterday. Dust is everywhere...wella thin layer. I would have hated to see what it would have looked like had we not taped off the kitchen doors. Hopefully paint will go up today. Thank goodness I have a luncheon today. I didn't have to try to make my lunch over plastic (all the cabinets and counters are covered)

 

in other wonderful news...My fiancee bowled his first 300 last night! I wish I could have been there but I was home cleaning all the mess. And my phone died so I never even got his text. It was funny how confused he was as to why I never texted him back last night. I"m so proud of him. BTW he is an awesome bowler, has several 299 under is belt (he has issues with the ten pin)

Congrats to you on your no soda regime and congrats to fiance for his bowling! What Bruce Willis thing were you watching?

Good job on the no soda and the weights. And congratulations to your fiance on the bowling. That's amazing!

Yeah, that ten-pin is an evasive little bugger! :-)

JD-the ten pin is his arch nemesis!

Tracy-Leave Free or Die trying...the second Die Hard moving..sorry I"m ridiculous when it comes to names of movies and song titles. But it is great. But I am a Bruce fan.

I'm so proud of him too! Most people aren't interested in bowling but I like it to watch it. I think it is b/c it is like running--ie it is just you.

Do you think Bruce Willis would drop in and do a workout with me? It would really motivate me.
