Consecutive days of posting?! I know, I know - better prepare for the second coming!
Today's report card:
- 3 miles CHECK
- ABS AM CHECK
- Stretch AM (no)
- Stair count (zero)
- ABS PM ...
- Stretch PM ...
Overall - got a run in for the morning. 5 AM alarm -> stretched to 5:30 out of bed (how did the 6 - 5min snoozes fly by?!). I finally "hit the road" 5:40 leaving a short window to run! Heading towards the Wal-Mart as I saw sidewalk during the drive the previous night... too bad my memory was ADHD and the sidewalk was NOT consistent. Thankfully, the Wal-Mart was over 3 miles away :-) YAY!
sidenote: if you are in my area, the sidewalk is best on the opposite side of the street until the Sonic. Then you should cross back to the other side of the street. Continuing on until the gas station across from the Wal-Mart = 3 mile roundtrip!
Morning wrapped up w/ ABS -> quick shower and still 3 minutes late to meet a coworker - she rocks = let me grab bfast w/o giving me crap for being late. AAAAaaanddd, we didn't have an office key. HAH no early printing :-p
WORK = rough. finally done w/ extended meetings at 8:30. Sheesh. Is it Thursday?! can I go home yet? :-p (hince far side reference - google image research "far side - my brain is full, can I leave?")
I am sadly ALREADY sore from the 2x of ABS. Literally, holding my stomach while standing because laughing hurts.
Enough whining - I'm going to "drop and give me 250!" to complete the abs and C.R.A.S.H.

Chips a hoy!
hah - trying to joke about cookies...
So - attempted to buy good stuff for groceries but did not make it to the gym tonight.
Stretch - check
Abs - check
Cookies - check
Wait... yeah, so I did buy oven safe dishes AND a cookie sheet. This was just necessary to utilize the team's supersized cookie dough roll they gave me for my birthday :-D
A good sign for sanity (bad sign for waistline - and those darn tight pants) is the hotel oven works!! :-D YAYAYAYAYAY
Okay - that is all. Tonight is not a total fail :-) This motivated me to sign up for a 10K in two weekends - get a baseline time... as ugly as it may be! (omgosh I might not want my real name associate with this time...)

Hello Tight Pants
No - not in the cool, going-out, night on the town kind of tight pants (ugh I hate those anyways) but these are suit pants!
Wake-up call :-p When I undid my suit pants while driving TO the airport parking... yes the 17 mile drive was too much for my mid-section to survive in the confines of the size 8 "stretch" brand suit pants from BR. I can totally call out the excuses of (1) freshly dry cleaned (2) HUGE splurge on sweets this weekend for MBs bday or (3) it's monday and I'm grumpy/uncomfortable by any means prior to coffee!
Reality - I've gotten pudgy (sp?). Now all my friends/family can be quiet with the "you are NOT fat" b/c I don't think I'm there - yet. BUT I am getting SOFT everywhere. Ugh.
Need: increase cardio past 3 miles a week, weights increase from 0 to something.
Short Term POA: this weekend is a 804 stair climb for the American Lung Association in Cleveland, OH with Mrs RB.
1. This MAY prove to be embarassing
2. Hope I can do this without too much heaving with forgetting allergy meds during travel this week
3. OMG I haven't worked out in weeks... minus a 20 min run 1x last week.
Short(er) Term POA - for the next month (crash course):
- Stretch every AM/PM
- Do core exercises (read 250 of some AB thing) every AM/PM
- RUN at least 3 miles Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
- RUN at least 800 stairs sometime over the M,T,W workouts (local stadium?)
- Research a 10K in the next 3 months - and then 3 months after that :-p
Lofty goals (POAs) but I think it's do-able! Keep you posted!
oh - and if you are curious, I changed into the skirt of the 3-piece suit at the airport to relieve the tightness (didn't really work but I don't have to walk around w/ clothing un-done!)
