I’m sitting here, after two 15 + hour days of activity, thinking how tired I am.  I’ve been terrific on my calorie content…and VERY active.  At they gym for at least an hour each day.  I’ve been canning, picking berries, running errands.  I’ve been doing dishes, laundry, and planning (and cooking!) meals.  Its been great.

Here’s the weird thing. I usually have 15 hour days.  I usually get up at 6 and dont go to sleep until 11:30 or 12:00.   I’m so tired now because my body has been using more energy. Its a simple concept, but one that gets by me most of the time. Exhausted as I am, it feels good to be getting things done. I think i’m the worlds busiest unemployed person! Well, without children anyway!
I feel really good about what i’ve got accomplished this last few days. I even managed a movie with Jen S (and movie popcorn – and DIDNT go over my calorie count) which is always fun.  I really dont know what I would have done without that woman the last 6 months.  She’s so fun!  Lord she makes me laugh.

While at the gym – in the middle of my 70 minutes of cardio – Jen Taylor came in.  We are working out on Tuesday.

Tomorrow is my interview at another school. Plus Diana Pfaff will be in town, so hopefully I can get in touch with her.  Lots to do.

So, today…er…yesterday I got up at 6, picked up Gary, made us breakfast (two eggs and 4 egg whites scrambled with salsa), went to the gym (20 minutes on the stepper (I HATE that thing), 10 on the treadmill and 30 on the elliptical), Got two quotes on fixing the car, bought a stool for berry picking, picked 27 lbs of strawberries, saw Angela for chit chat and pick up Mary Kay, took a nap with Gary, did Champoeg calls to Sue, Marla, and Gretchen, took Gary to work, canned (7 jams, 9 syrup’s), Talked to mom, Jen Sharp, and Jen Taylor, did a run to winco, logged my food for the day and now i’m going to sleep.

I feel very accomplished.

I went to the gym and worked my own ass off.   YAY.  and i’ve only had about 1500 calories today, so I need more, but i’m hesitant to eat this late…so i’ll be okay until tomorrow.

Jennifer Taylor told me to stay at 1800 calories but then my doctor told me 1600.   I thought 1800 was hard. Tomorrow, i’m going to pick up Gary, bring him home, then go to the gym and work out.  When I get back, i’ll shower and then do the berry picking and the canning.

I feel more energized though that could be because I know the end of my time at HCS is happening and i’m pretty excited about that!

Life looks rather good right now.

So, Jen had to reschedule my appointment (which was scheduled for today at noon) and i’m STILL GOING. wow, progress.

I’m going to do back, arms, stomach, squats, and lunges. Then 45 minutes of Cardio.

but now i’m going to stop thinking about it because it makes me not want to go!
