Big goings on are going on…
none of them boot camp related, though & also DAMN! I have to miss tonight’s boot camp cause my department meeting will go til after 5, SWAT begins at 5, and you just don’t show up late for SWAT unless you love doing endless squats all class long. I had hoped to attend her 7am session today, but apparently that one got canceled cause no one in that class could make today’s session…argh!
On top of that, it’s hubby’s b-day, so we’re going out for beer with a colleague after our meeting, then to our favorite restaurant, then home where he has cake & presents waiting for him. It’s his 30th, so I want it to be special, but we don’t really have any good friends to celebrate with around here, so it’s just the two of us. He’s probably not expecting the cake & I clearly don’t need cake, but I’m going to have a small slice to celebrate anyway. Tomorrow we’ll bring the rest of the cake down to Chicago where we’ll spend the weekend with his parents. That’ll be nice.
Wait, why’d I start writing this? Oh, right. So no boot camp & non-stop food and beverage temptations today. I’ve done good so far. I had a meeting at noon & they provided box lunches (sandwich, chips, pasta salad, cookie, apple, and mint….so the biggest lunch you’ve ever seen), but I planned ahead & brought in leftover moussaka & salad, ate before the meeting so I wasn’t tempted to snack, & brought the box lunch back to the office for hubby’s lunch. & last night I did my situps, pushups, plank, and leg lifts & this morning I woke up early to do a pilates video & about 5 minutes of the 8-minute buns video. Not bad & a routine I’d like to get into now that we have a spare TV in the basement & plenty of room to stretch out down there. I’m thinking when SWAT ends next week, I’ll just take her pilates classes until the next round of boot camp rolls around. & I’ll add in some of my own tabatas & runs…must get back to those runs!
Okay, that’s it for now…I better get a move on or I’ll be late for my meeting.
Cheers Chicks!
Sorry you’re missing boot camp; I know you love it.
Happy birthday to your hubby and enjoy that cake!!!!
Good on you for taking your own lunch to that meeting; see, I would have never thought like that, PROBABLY why I can’t make any headway here. Ok, OK—I’ll pull out the exercise bike and do some tonight; can’t let you have ALL the fun……
That was a smart thing to do…bring your own food to the lunch. I’ve often thought about that, but rarely do it. Although when we have potlucks here at work, I usually eat my own food because I don’t know what people have made or how many calories in them.
Everytime I see or hear the word moussaka I have to chuckle. It reminds me of a SNL sketch with Will Ferrell when Christopher Walkin was a guest star. If you’ve seen it, you know what I’m talking about.
All right, BP, are you getting our movie night chat set up for tonight? Post the log in details for us if you do. And if you don’t, let’s do it next weekend! That might actually give more people a chance to watch the movie. Aren’t you doing a road trip today?
