Now for the regular stuff ...

Hubby (finally) left for golf (aka - working from home) lol.  So I'm back to chat about my day.

My regular lift classes are cancelled until next week.  The instructor is away for the weekend and no one enjoys a substitute - ouch, but true.  So workouts are my own until Tuesday.  Today is a cardio day - intervals on the treadmill.  I like the music, the big sweat and the breathless-I-might-die feeling -- it's hard but so awesome when it's over!

One of the girls from my lift class suggested I go to a pilates class at noon today - I gave her a definitive "maybe" since I didn't have my schedule in front of me.  I'm not a big fan of a noon workout and that means double shower too.  I'll see how I feel after the run.  It would be nice to try the class but it will be an out-of-the-box experience.  Core and flexibility are a challenge.  Maybe all the more reason to go??

I've gathered a few new recipes for the grill and plan to hit the grocery store today.  All Whole30 healthy and delicious (I hope).  Even thought I haven't posted much about trying new recipes, I've been pretty much hitting the mark with a new recipe a week (except vacation, of course).  Lately, the recipes haven't exactly hit the healthy mark though - ugh.

One of the dresses came for the party.  I was pleased to fit into the smaller size I ordered (the company runs big in their fit) and the dress is beautiful.  The problem is it's held up by these weird little straps that tie.  I have nothing on the top to "hold up" but the straps won't stay tight so the fabric falls.  Since I'm hosting and moving all around, I don't think the top will stay in place.  And it's not that kind of party lol!  Some of the reviews commented on this, but usually that doesn't bother small chested folks like me so I ordered it anyway.  Guess they were right.

More should come over the next few days.  I actually ordered a couple more (since I feel comfortable about what size to order).  I realized both styles I ordered originally will have that same problem.  I'm nervous about going to the store to return them.  It's a lot of returns - I feel sort of bad about it.

That's my day in a nutshell.  My INTENTION today is to WORK HARD.  I need a win ... workout, healthy eating ... beginning the climb up.  Fingers crossed and luck welcomed -- it all helps lol!
