Today wasn't half-bad. I was thinking on my drive home from teaching my night class that I've been spending money like its water. I started to realize maybe I'm displacing my food addiction onto a spending addiction? I bet I've dropped 500.00 in the past three days? Not good.
So, bootcamp with April this morning 5 am... It was raining which kept us under the awning again, thereby somewhat limiting movement. The good part was I felt like I got to lift a decent amount of weights, which I've been a little slim on considering I'm not driving all the way into town to use the gym like I was when I was teaching daily. So when I logged it I logged it as 30 minutes lifting weights and 30 minutes doing calestinics (yeah, I cant spell that). When I got home I honestly did NOT feel as though I'd gotten much cardio, so I jumped on the treadmill and ran 30 minutes. I ended up finishing 2.8 miles in 30 minutes, which isn't half bad.
After showering I got the kiddos up, took logan to school and took josie to her ENT check-up on her tubes. They're doing good still so a-ok there. Then since I was in town I caught up on a little shopping. Bought a TON of shorts for Josie, which were needed since my MIL's old washer tore some of her previous clothes up. Then went over to Shoe Carnival where got my great shoes (see post below).
When I got home I remembered that I still hadn't used my ITunes gift card from Christmas so I went online and got some GREAT running music. Which has me pscyhed to just have new music honestly the other stuff was getting a bit old. Nike has some cool like coaching runs w/ music inserted, but I didnt realize that I could buy the whole cd till half my money was gone. None the less I got styles and sounds liked and can actually RUN to without having to constantly forward my mp3 player through slower paced songs.
When George got home we took a 20 minute walk around the neighborhood w/ the kids then I had to change clothes and drive BACK into town for my Interior Design Communications & Marketing course tonight. The presentations tonight were good though and I'm actually learning some stuff about Interior Design, which is interesting. Then a quick stop at Wal-Mart for a few essentials (steam bags!!) and home. When I got home I realized that my back was still KILLING from the sun-burn, but alas.... nothing I can do for now. Though I do appreciate all of yalls home remedy's I'd rather hurt then smell like vinegar! :)

I AM BURNED!!!!! CHAFFED & SUNBURNED!
Sunday I spent a fair amount of time in the sun. I washed the cars, without suntan-lotion which is not a great idea for a pale-face like me. So I got a little burned, not major, but some. Yesterday I walked around the neighborhood for about an hour all together. So it added a little bit more. Today however, today I got roasted.
This morning I had a meeting with the head of the Interior Decorating program I teach a Communications course for at 8:15. So I had to get a baby sitter for the day. My workout class was not till 11:45 so I had some time to burn between the two. After I left my appt around 9am I went to the office and did a little bit of work, not much, but a little bit. Around 10:15 I left and went over to the Disney Store (which they're closing by the way) to see if I could get some good deals (they're only at the 10% mark) but I still dropped around $90.00. I'm a sucker for disney stuff.
So FINALLY it was time for my "bootcamp" class at the fitness center. This class is NO JOKE btw. I was happy to see more women there today though and met a nice woman in the changing room who I partnered up with and I think we work well together and will partner up more in the future. Anyway, LAST time I went to the class it was inside the large basketball gym. TODAY however, it was outside!!! Yeah, I didnt have any sunlotion. I asked another woman who I know is in the class if I could use some of hers and it was that spray on stuff you cant tell for the life of you if its on or not. I have a burn to prove it on one shoulder and my back is HORRIFIC. But my workout was awesome. I really felt like I relaxed into it and was challenging myself. So thats a must-do for me weekly. And I DID need some sun, just not the burn to go along with it.
On the way home I stopped by lowes and got some pavers we'd been needing, some pea gravel and some mulch. Just getting that on and off the cart was a workout. After picking up Jo from the babysitters and putting her down for her nap I just went ahead and did the pavers and pea gravel, trimmed all the hedges, laid the mulch and weeded some. I figured I was already burnt so why not?! ( I DID remember to put on sun tan lotion before doing all that though).
So anyway, it was a busy day. And I missed my now-daily nap, but I'll survive. At least I wasnt up at 4:30 this morning.... but will be tomorrow.

Happy Cinco De Mayo everybody. :) Not that we're doing anything special for it, but happy day anyway.
Had bootcamp again this morning. It was bloody COLD again, which I really dispise, but I was warmed up quickly. I talked to April about my dissapointment with the scale and today she called and suggested I try what she referred to as the "6 day diet". It is earily close to super-strict Body for Life in my opinion, so I didnt freak and decided to give it a try. Can't hurt right? So Today food was a little more "tame" to say the least.
For exercise today I had bootcamp this morning, then I took a 30-min walk with the kids when Logan got home then an additional 30-min walk to drop him off at a friends house to play for a while.

* I thought I'd be starving today, but the water helped balance it out I suppose. I'm feeling focused but still vowing to stay off the scale till Saturday.
So, today I started a boot camp with April whis is held at our local high school. You can see her webpage here. http://www.strivefitness.org/. It's at 5am people! So you know she has to be at least slightly insane.
It was a torrential downpour and so we all stood under the awning at the back of the school. I actually only came to show my face to prove I was going to be there, but when I arrived they were actually working out. And it was freezing-butt cold! So I hauled my hiney up under the awning with the rest of the crazy people.
I felt like I had a good workout. At one point we were holding onto the poles and doing like a pivioting deadlift (I dont know the REAL name for them) I knew I was going to be sore, but I worked hard and felt pretty good about it overall.
I was supposed to then go and have my pt session with Tasha, but when I got Josie up she had a 102.4 fever. So I RUSHED to email Tasha and tell her that I wouldn't be there. I hated to miss it, but was sort of glad at the same time.
I had to give a final at 3pm so I took Logan and Josie to Papa's (what we call my husband, George, instead of Dad) work and we switched off and I went and gave the final. After that I ran some errands before finally heading over to church for worship team practice. Which went till 9pm!! I was so hungry at the end of the practice I was doubling over, but I didnt explain to them why.

*Comments = calorie count was way too low today but when I got into town I didnt know what to eat. I spent about an hour online trying to figure out what I could eat. I also ate too much packaged food, but again, moving around a whole lot neccessitates such at times.
Overall it was not a terrible day, but I cannot let myself continue to have such a low calorie count.
