I am SO glad it's Friday!!
Today is my rest day, so I'm not planning on doing anything -- maybe a stroll or a yoga tape if I feel like it. Yesterday I ended up getting a bit more exercise than I had planned when I tried to check out a sports store downtown after work -- I got muddled and went the wrong way (it was actually the right way, but I thought it was wrong), then back-tracked, then realized I was actually wrong, then went the right way again and went the extra avenue or two to the address. Phew! With my walk back to the subway stop to get home, I walked at least 9 avenues! Gah!
The good news is that after many failed attempts (most of which involved me flailing around in the dressing room, battling with the instrument of torture that I was now trapped in), I finally found a new sportsbra! <cue angelic trumpets> I'm going back today (now that I can find the store) to see if I can find another one + to get some more workout staples (v-neck t-shirts, black exercise shorts and the like).
Marvin: great to hear you made it to the pool again! Have fun with the girls!
Saggy: let us know how the plateau-breaking plan goes, and have fun at Hilton Head!
Dena: Happy birthday, and I must salute you for being able to spend 1.5 hours on the bike! That's some endurance, not to mention determination!
Morrigan: what a workout! Congrats on your 22nd consecutive day of exercising! You've been doing great!! Now, be careful not to reduce your calories too much in your desire for results </end cautionary nagging>
Stamper: That's great that you got in your workout even though you didn't want to -- that's motivation! I'm sorry you feel blah -- that darn TOM can be a real energy sapper! (not to mention at least half of it is because you feel so bloated + icky that it dampens your mood, which in turn leaves you feeling low -- can you tell i just love "being a woman"?

QOTD answer (and great idea Marvin!!):
For exercise this weekend I am going to go to the gym on Saturday and Sunday like I have been doing, except this time I am going to emphasize cardio on Sunday (I have been doing weights, and tacking on cardio if I had time) and will try a run/walk on the treadmill one of the two days instead of the elliptical. It's supposed to be really nice this weekend, so DH and I will probably walk to the park or something and have a picnic.
Oh, and I didn't answer yesterday's question: my favorite thing about
this summer is sitting w/my husband at my favorite local bar with the french doors wide open and warm breeze coming through, with a summer wheat ale in my hand. That and the FRUIT. Oh, and the boardwalk at Coney Island with the breeze coming off the ocean. Oh, and my early Fridays. And the fact that it hasn't been as disgustingly hot + humid this summer as it usually is in NYC. Huh -- I guess this summer is a particularly good one!!
