It’s all up to me

Weight: 229 (same as yesterday)

The garage sale is done and I made a hair over $400, definitely worth my time. I have run a load of the stuff that didn’t sell to Goodwill and have a few things packed up that we’re going to keep so all that’s left to do is return tables to people and start on the next 500 projects we need to accomplish before we sell our house. It’s probably a blessing in disguise that the bank had a delay on the closing for our construction loan b/c I don’t know if we would be ready to meet our original deadline of July 1st.

I found a good deal on new shoes yesterday so now I just need to wait for the mailman to deliver. Last summer I went to a sporting goods store recommended by my podiatrist and ended up buying a pair of Asics that felt like they were customized for my feet. Apparently I have overpronated all my life and never knew it. Plus, I have a wide front part of my foot and a narrow heel so I always had to deal w/shoes that were too tight or slipped off my heel and gave me blisters. I about choked at the $130 price tag (that was w/the doctor’s discount) but soon realized that they were worth every penny. Since then I have bought the same style online and saved quite a bit. This current model (Gel Kayano 14) is no longer available so I ordered the replacement and it was only $106. Plus, they’re a snazzy silver/orange combo and I can’t wait to see them.

I woke up earlier than I had planned b/c a GD owl started hooting around 4:30. We live in town, I don’t expect to be woken up by owls! Oh well, I did my regular Saturday yoga/pilates and I’m quickly realizing that I need to find a different workout b/c as much as I love this one I’m getting bored w/it. It’s hard for me, though, b/c I have low blood pressure and when I bend over to do traditional yoga poses I about pass out. That’s why I liked this yoga workout so much; she doesn’t do poses like that. Thankfully blockbuster online has fitness DVD’s so I keep ordering yoga/pilates workouts and when I find one I like then I buy it. If anyone has a suggestion of a yoga workout that doesn’t have you upside down all the time please let me know.

Progress toward workout goal: 40/300
