Today's weight: 196.2.
I totally intended to exercise today. I really did. This is how my day went:
I woke up at 8:00 a.m. to a phone call from my husband who forgot his planner at home. I had to read his calendar for him. I went back to bed, weary from staying up late.
I had a business call at 9:00 a.m. Took a shower immediately afterward. Cleaned up the kitchen, prepared dinner (in the Crock-Pot) and began work.
From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., I worked. My plan was to bring my swimsuit to the pool so I could "swim" laps while the kids played. Alas, immediately after (my incredibly stressful) shift, I hurried the kids into the van--and forgot my suit.
So I read instead. (East of Eden by John Steinbeck.) Interesting how I remembered my book, yet forgot my swimsuit! We left the pool at 8:30 p.m.
Perhaps I should have exercised then. But I was focused on working again--I have a freelance assignment this week, adding an additional 20 hours to my normal 40-hour work-week. That's why swimming at the pool was such a brilliant idea, though thwarted by my forgetfulness.
Tomorrow, though, I will exercise. Really.
Okay Missie, I am SICK, but as soon as disc. 4 of the first season of LOST arrives in my mailbox (scheduled to arrive today.) I'm hitting the treadmill! (Like I have any place lecturing you on exercise. Now THAT'S rich. lol!)

Oh, I am just so excited that I won that book! I can't wait to get it.
I am now running a full mile without stopping. I used to stop and go during the one mile! Now I run! I am super excited!
I will do some weights tonight, maybe some pilates. I plan on doing the treadmill everyday during my little girl's nap.

Is your profile picture current? You certainly don't look a 190+ pounds.... Are you very tall?
