Sistah Pat

Alrighty then, Sistahs!  You better get out of my way cause I’m off to a brand new day!  Didn’t feel that great when I got up cause I stayed up too late (only got 5 hours sleep) but a cup of coffee and a few minutes in the spa has me ready to hit the shower and scales!

6:45 - My scales which were exactly the same as the ones at the hospital last month show me at 173.5 this morning.  I’m dressed and staring at this “sculpture” the Sistahs made of me lifting weights (Were we drinking before or after we made these?) and I can tell it was sculpted with love and friendship and a total lack of talent!  So inspiring!

8:16 - Continental Breakfast at school!  Kudos to me for only eating 1/4 of a bagle with low fat cream cheese and some watermelon and pineapple. 

1:50 - Finally taking a minute for lunch.  The vultures are after me but I’m hanging tough!  Got invited to lunch by a half a dozen people but I told them I brought a Lean Cuisine.  Had a meeting with the new principal and she offered me half a chicken salad sandwich on coissant but I declined.  Went back to the library and found that there were tons of doughnuts left but I walked right by.  Stayed strong when Barbara, the librarian, actually carried them over to my desk and offered them.  Ate my Lean Cuisine and some more fresh fruit (watermelon and cantelope).  Another hour and I’ll be out of here!

4:20 - Well, Pooh!  I tried to workout and can’t.  Why is it that everyone waits till I have my purse on my shoulder and I’m ready to walk out the door and then they all show up wanting help?  I didn’t know what time we were supposed to start today so I got there at 7:15.  I should have left at 2:15 but we don’t officially get off till 2:30 so I wasn’t really pleased about everyone showing up at 2:25, 2:30, 2:45, 3:00, etc. etc.  Anyway, I slapped a smile on my face and started taking care of business.  Didn’t get out of the building until 3:15 and I drove home, changed clothes, and headed up to the treadmill.  Opened the door and it was hot as blazes up there.  I went ahead and turned on the fan and started walking and realized that I was NOT energized but was definitely already worn out.  Still, I wanted to get in at least an hour.  After 15 minutes, my ankle was really hurting and my enthusiasm was in the toilet so I decided it would be a good idea to quit.  I’ll get a good workout in the morning but I guess I’m going to have to make some adjustments to my schedule.  I really don’t want to get up earlier than I already do but somethings going to have to give.

I’m fixing sliced tomatoes, grilled tilapia filets, and collard greens for dinner with a salad.  Guess I’d better get to it!
