That workout from yesterday is still trying to kill me!  My back hurts!  Can’t wait to get under a hot shower and let it beat the heck out of my back.  I’d go out to the spa but it’s sleeting.  I have no use for this weather.

4:00 - Damn!  I look good!  It’s still cold and icky so I decided to wear jeans and boots and a bulky sweater to work.  Started getting dressed and it dawned on me that students from another school were going to be coming to one of my classes today and there would be a TV crew filming it for the local news.  Had to regroup real fast.  Wore a sweet little grey tweed jacket with soft black leather trim, a purple, grey and black silk blouse, grey dress pants and grey heels and a grey onyx necklace.  Used a flat iron on my hair and made up smokey eyes.  I looked good!  Passed the mirror several times today and told myself, “Girl, you look hot!”

Came home and pretty much convinced myself that I deserved to take a break.  Almost forgot that I’m fat….Then I checked my comments and ShallweShrink says she’s proud of me for getting right back into the swing of things.  Things like eating right, weighing myself, and working out.  sigh…..Oh, yeah, I’m fat.  I remember…guess I ought to go workout…

5:45 - Oh, My!  Soooo much better!  I worked out for 45 minutes, mostly step aerobics, and burned 400 calories.  I actually had fun.  After about 15 minutes of feeling like life just isn’t fair, I started rockin and put a little movement in the movements and enjoyed myself.  Got to dance with Enrique, Rob Thomas, and all three Blue Men at the same time.  Thanks, little chicklets, for being here and encouraging me!  I didn’t start out to have a perfect day but it looks like it’s happening anyway.

I planned on grilling round steak with Chimichurri Sauce, roasted new potatoes with Mrs. Dash, broccoli, and roasted red peppers with mozzarella.  DH opted for Manwich sandwiches instead.  There’s something wrong with that man.  I may just grill me some steak and find something to do with it.  I’m sure not fixing Chimichurri Sauce just for myself.  I was so busy today, I didn’t have time for anything but a salad so I have lots of calories to play with.
