Good Thurday Morning!!

I feel another great day coming on!

This AM....
I made it up before 5:15 and got lower body and abs in this am... I have decided to log my weight training as half the time I actually worked out in my food & exercise diary becuse I'm certain that the calorie burn for 'vigorous weight training' in the database is grossly exaggerated. So if I log an hour workout as 30 minutes, I should be fairly safe!

BFL progress....
I did a few side crunches this morning because I had a few extra minutes before I had to shower and whoo! I need to work on those apparently! Great news is that I could do about 30 more ball crunches before I usually feel the 'burn' and 10 more reverse crunches. Pretty cool. I am having a blast with the BFL routine!
They say 12 weeks will transform your body?? However I am not following their relatively high protein diet so it may be more gradual... I am cutting out most simple carbs though and I think that will help.
12 weeks will put me at Nov 11, Thanksgiving is 2 weeks later. I am shooting to lose the first 15 pounds by Halloween and if I do then it should all work just about right. Never mind me, I'm rambling....

Elsewhere in the world...
I had a nice visit with Mom last night!
She is a licensed nail tech and esthetician so I got a pedicure! Damn, did I need one. My toes were scaring the general population.

We have 2 parties this Saturday to attend for the OSU/ TX game!! ( Dan! ) It will be fun and since the game is starting at 8pm we have plans to 'crash' at the second party for the night....
I called off work on Sun!! I felt bad, for a minute... but she doesn't really need me. Having me come in just lets her sleep in on the weekends. That really lifted some stress for me... I am planning on enjoying my Sunday... Matty has a golf outing and will be gone all day so I'm not sure what to do!

Bowling starts at 6pm on Sunday... we are playing in a league with Matt's Aunt & Uncle. It will be so much fun! As Monica says.... just adding one more hobby...

Happy & Sad...
Matty called a bit ago to tell me that the nursery wants him to work 3 or 4 weeks away in one of the New Jersey sites. He will be able to come home on the weekends but will be gone all week for the rest of the month! I think it is a great opportunity for him and I am excited for that but I have no idea what that will be like for us. We've never been apart longer than 3 days I don't think.....

I already miss the boy.

Oh my God. Waking up 5 days a week without someone asking me if I'm gonna get up and work out! Pandemonium!!
I can see at least one sappy movie marathon in my not too distant future...

In Other News...
Work is still the equivalent of watching ice melt. How's it at your end Monica? Melting any faster than mine??

I do have a yummy lunch packed! Garden fresh tomato & cottage cheese... and a wrap in a 'salsa' tortilla with art. crab meat and crispy romaine lettuce

Tanning date with the hubby after work and then home to iron and such...

1:20pm... I'm hungry today! It's official. I spent most of the morning booking Matt's flights, hotel & rental car and printing maps for him to be gone from Sun. night till 10/6. He will be home the weekend of the 22nd and 30th, but this first stretch is 2 weeks!!
Shhhh!! Since he won't be able to check my blog today I'll be honest. I am devastated and scared to death! But this is such a good opp. for him and I am so proud of him! I am going to be a wreck. Stress is actually good for my diet. It's when I'm happy that I get fat!
