Sistah Pat

2008 Sistah Pat is throwing me a challenge. Here’s a quote from last year’s entree:

“Spent some time looking at different blogs and trying to figure out how to get enthusiastic again and came to one conclusion. I don’t have to be enthusiastic to do this, I just have to do it. I don’t have to find the spark, I have to make the spark. If I stop, I haven’t accomplished anything. The spark comes from keeping on track and resolving to do something that will take me to a better place. It will come from the satisfaction that I do what I have to do whether I feel enthusiastic about it or not. I guess the enthusiasm is just a little gift we sometimes get but it’s certainly not essential to getting the job done.”

Guess everything I said a year ago is still true. On this day in 2008, I worked a full day, stayed after for a faculty meeting, and had an ROTC Booster Club meeting that evening. In spite of that, 2008 Sistah Pat managed an hour on the treadmill. That’s the exact same schedule I have today. Ain’t gonna be easy…

My weight is still better than last year.  181.5 today which is 5 1/2 pounds lower than 2008.

12:15 - Just ate lunch.  It was a brown one.  I’ve decided Smart Ones come in red, brown, or white.  It doesn’t really matter what they call it, it all tastes pretty much the same, just different colors.  Speaking of which, I’m wearing some of the brown on my white linen blouse.  Not to worry…my boobs caught it before it hit the floor.

I have an incredible challenge this afternoon.  Faculty meeting, drive the boys home, back for an ROTC meeting, American Idol tonight, workout, and then, to top it all off, DH emailed me and said he rented BOTH The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Last Chance Harvey for this evening.  Ummmm….I can do this.  Let’s see:
2:30 -3:30 Faculty Meeting
3:30 - 4:30 Take the boys home and workout for 30 minutes
4:30 - 5:00 Drive back to school
5:00 - 6:00 ROTC Booster Club Meeting
6:00 - 6:30 Drive Home
6:30 to 7:00 - Workout for another 30 minutes
7:00 to 9:00 - Last Chancee Harvey
9:00 to 10:00 - Catch American Idol on TIVO

No way…Can’t fit the Curious Case of Benjamin Button in there.  It’s a 3 hour movie.  Guess DH will have to watch it from 3:00 to 7:00 and I’ll watch it tomorrow evening.  NOW, do you understand the kind of pressure I’m under?????? A real woman would be able to make time for Brad Pitt.  I feel so inadequate…
