Dear Diary,
This morning I fell in the bathroom tub, and now my elbows and knees are bruised. (I suppose I should be quite thankful I didn’t smash my head.)
After work I was busy looking for hotels for Dublin and London that I didn’t have time to work out or make dinner. D brought home take-out: chili cheese fries for him and a Gardenburger for me. I ate the whole damn thing. Then I felt guilty so at 11pm I decided to do my strength training workout. I think I’m mildly obsessed.
My workout schedule is … M/W/F: cardio (lately I’m hooked on this cardio core workout with Petra Kolber), then strength training on Tu/Th/Sun. Saturdays are my rest days, though I do get some activity in by walking at the farmers’ market. My weight’s been hovering around 117lbs lately, but at least the Tanita scale is saying the body fat is getting lower. I suppose the only TRUE test is when I go back to the doctor’s next March. If my triglycerides and cholesterol are still high (assuming I maintain all this activity for another 10 months), well … I dunno.
I’m off to bed, or at least try to doze off.

No Cupcakes
Sadly, I wasn’t able to make cupcakes this weekend. Farmers’ market, bookstore, groceries, and some much-needed down time. The down time didn’t even last too long since I thought it would be “fun” to give NS a face lift and move the entire thing to our main hosts.
Wow. That was kinda painful.
So I had been working on the finishing touches until dinner tonight, after which I had another bright idea. I hadn’t exercised today (Saturday being my day off), so I thought, “I’ll just get my cardio strength training in.” While I managed to stay alive for pretty much the entire workout, I was close to blacking out by cool-down. Seriously. Breathing deep, stretching … and oh look, my vision’s kinda going black! Needless to say, soon I found myself crumpled in a pathetic heap on the bathroom floor, trying to control my breathing and to not throw up.
Lesson learned. Wait MORE than 20 minutes after eating before doing any sort of exercise.
