Happy Monday! No, Really!

I shall warn all and sundry in advance:  I need Ritalin today.  I can’t focus for crap and I have no doubt my writing will reflect that nicely. 

I’m happy today though.  I had a great weekend and I’m doing well today and my female issues seem to be resolving themselves (though they’re getting a slow start), so it’s all good. 

I’m determined not to weigh myself until Friday; we shall see how well I do with THAT resolve.  I am printing out my daily and weekly goals from the sidebar here, to post next to my calendar as an aid to determining what color star I get, and I am including NOT weighing daily in those.    After the debacle last week I think I’ve learned my lesson!  And hopefully on Friday I will be down.  If not, well, I’ll just keep trucking.  I’m having some great workouts in terms of how well I do and how “worked” I feel at the end [EDIT:  the end of the workout, that is, not MY end! though sometimes that, too...lol] and I’ve been doing very well with food.  So it’ll come off or not but I’m NOT letting myself go back to the place I was in on Friday.

DH is quite ill, running a fever with flu-ey aches and weakness.  I feel very badly for him but am also devoutly hoping he does not choose to share this with me as I hear it lasts about 5 days and God knows I do NOT have five days to be sick.  I slept on the couch last night so that he could be restless or whatever without worrying about waking me up.  (He was going to sleep on the couch but I thought it was bad enough to be sick without also being uncomfortable.  Turns out I should have let him, the couch is actually pretty nice.)  I slept great once I fell asleep but had a little trouble getting there just because (a) I worked out a bit late; and (b) I’m not used to having the living room all to myself and ended up watching a movie till 11:00.  (Ice Princess, not even a fascinating grown-up one, but it’s what Brennah was watching and what can I say, I love the soundtrack.  And figure skating.)  And then, I’ve never been able to go to sleep right after watching TV, so it took me another hour to unwind.  So I got about 6 hours’ sleep which isn’t too bad but not enough for me.    Oh well.

Still, I feel pretty good today.  I am going to print out some workouts for my friend who has nicknamed me Jillian Jr. (though I wasn’t nearly as mean as Jillian when we worked out) and we are going to try to work out together at least a couple of times each week.  Though I’m more of a solitary exerciser by nature, it does push me a little harder sometimes to have someone else there doing it with me, especially if I’m trying to demonstrate proper form, etc. 

The weather’s not nearly so nice today as it was this weekend, which is a bit of a bummer, but at least we got a taste of spring.  I shall remember that as I shiver in my meat-locker  office today.     Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
