I got my ME stuff finished yesterday.
Starbuck - check.
Eyebrows - check.
Workout ... I decided to run with Duke outside. It was early, overcast and he needed some energy out. It was a good workout.
I got the car back. Eldest brought the grand-doggies along and they LOVE me now!! They were always shy before, but they jumped on my lap, wagging and licking. It was sweet. I wonder if they'll love me when they find out their staying for 5 days next weekend!!
I used the gift certificate for the learning class, The Great Courses. Here's the deal. It was a part of a very generous birthday gift box - super nice and very appreciated. The gift card was for $25 so I figured that's what the courses cost - give or take. Most of the classes are HUNDREDS of dollars!! WHAT?!?!? I found the SALE section and found a series on brain health as you age for $30. It was awkward - do I spend tons of money on something I don't know if I want or do I give it back to her and say I can't use it? Most of the sale stuff was crappy (and dated - bad reviews, etc). Thank goodness I found this class ... it was this or cathedrals of the world. Stay tuned ...
The suspense book is super suspenseful (Behind Her Eyes). It took a strange turn last night - maybe a little too strange. I'll have to see. It reminds me of 2 movies that I can't remember the names of - helpful, huh?!? Oh wait - The Skeleton Key. The other movie was just out in theaters and I liked it (same strange happening), but no name coming to me right now. I'm reading on (of course) and have my theories of the ending. According to the reviews, I'll be WRONG!! Yea - I love a great twist and a great ending.
Today is a boxing day, but my shoulder is sore. Not good sore. I'm not sure if it's sore enough to change up the workout though. The next class I can go to is Tuesday so I hate to miss if it's not necessary. I might go and not punch as hard if it hurts. I'll see how it feels as I move around this morning. I need to remember there is a 7:15 class too. Some days 9:30 is late to get working out. I also cut the pad of my thumb on a razor. Dang it hurts and keeps bleeding and no bandaid stays put. That's not enough to miss boxing, but it's will be gross in the gloves (I'm sure a bandaid will slip off at some point).
And finally, BLOAT. I feel really bloated and crappy this morning. Magic is not happening. I have no idea why. When this happens, I'm more inclined to throw in the towel at night and say screw it - not working. I need to wait it out and stay focused. Today was a planned try-on-the-jeans day. Canceled until further notice!
This weekend is fast approaching (with bloat happening too). My first off-plan since I started with the coaching. I'm trying hard to use 2 of my STANDARDS. People first, food second (or 3rd or 4th). No thinking (obsessing) about it - use the worth-it method of Whole30 during the weekend and no prior plan needed. Oh boy, it's hard.
I keep thinking about it, stopping myself, picturing the people-first stuff. I hope and NEED this to work. It's the mother-load all at once. A WEEKEND of stuff!! And, it's SPECIAL. My call with Holly is Monday - post weekend. It's the last call. I had a choice of dates and I picked AFTER. Now I wish there was a call before too. I could use a pep talk. Maybe I should MEDITATE on it?? (Every time I typo this word to 'medicate' ... that works too LOL.) Maybe 3 minutes ... (who am I?)
Tomorrow is a scheduled massage! Yea!!! And, I kept plans off the calendar because I need to get ready for the weekend. ME first tomorrow.
I've babbled on and on. More to say, but for another day. Later gators.
