Extra Long Weekend

When we had our furnace replaced in the summer, we had to have an energy audit done in order to qualify for rebates.  And then a follow up appointment.  So I booked it for today, took the day off and decided to make it an extra long weekend so I was off Friday as well.  Barry took the day off too. 

I meant to get up and do my cardio Friday.  I slept in instead. Had a fairly leisurely day.  Nutrition wasn't great.  Saturday was a bit of a write off.  We did housework and nutrition wasn't bad until I got into the potato chips.  We had a great brunch with some fabulous friends on Sunday.  I was going to do cardio before the brunch but I hadn't done everything I needed to before the brunch so I was going to do it after.  That didn't happen.  I planned on getting up at 5 (I got up around 5:40) to do cardio before breakfast but I ddin't.  However ... I finally got my workout in after everything digested and before my energy audit guy showed up.  Even had a chance for a shower.  Nutrition was going along great ... and then I moderately blew it.  I'll be better tonight.

Tomorrow I get back into my routine of getting up at 4:30, workout, proper nutrition and staying focussed.  Apparently I need routine ... I seem to blow it when I don't.  *sigh*  oh well ... tomorrow is another day.  but I don't have any time to waste or I won't make my June 30th shopping day! 

I came across a couple of great websites http://www.flylady.net/ (for organizational needs ... thanks Mo!) and http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ for tracking food, exercise and goal setting.  I encourage you to check them out....

Until tomorrow :)

  1. Don't despair my friend ~ I too seem to do much better with routine..Gosh I miss the multi-function, and easily adaptable self. But, we need to go easy on ourselves ... sometimes I think a day or two off the best laid plans is in order and makes us more motivated to do better (something like the 15 minute nap that re-generates --but make 16 or 17 minutes and its over...;0 )

    I have June 30th in my book too (can't wait) .. so I better pick up my pace too!!!

    wishing you a great nights sleep and a productive day tomorrow!!...xo HHL

  2. I just recently started following your blog and I've gotta say, you're much better at your schedule than I am. Waking up at 4.30am every morning is absolute dedication! I hope you have a great week and look forward to keeping up with your blog. :o)
