I always feel like such a dork when I do one of her kickboxing routines!! DH is banned from the basement when I'm kickboxing after he practically went into hysterics a few years ago while I was trying to do TaeBo!

It's neat to see you picking out activities that are fun or that you haven't had time to get to. What a great summer you are having!! That's just awesome!

AHhhhhh ... I am officially on a diet break!! )

It has been raining here for the past 6 days and I AM SICK OF IT!!!! It is 68 frickin' degrees ... WTF?!?!

Going to watch another movie this afternoon ... probably Madagascar ... and maybe Peter Pan ...

I understand where you're coming from. It's barely in the 70s today and although it's not raining at the moment, it will. There's kind of a half-assed sunlight right now. The kind that you know isn't going to last. Sorry that your summer vacation isn't more like summer though.

Julie, I just caught up on your log again and I'm glad that you and the girls are okay. Sorry to hear that your vacation isn't very sunny .

I agree with Tracey that I don't allow people to watch me kickboxing. I'll generally let the kids sit downstairs with me when I'm working out as long as they don't talk, but no one (especially DH) is allowed to watch my kickboxing workouts. With bad coordination and flexibility, I can just imagine what I look like, and I don't anyone else to imagine it either, LOL.

Well, thanks Karen and Anne, we had two sunny days in a row!! Actually, three! Had a great weekend ... some great friends came up and my parents came too ... lots of fun people and good weather and great food. It is nice being on a diet break, eating what I want, and not having to weigh/track every little morsel!!

Everyone finally left today ... I'll be heading to the laundromat tomorrow (and that means a walk on the rail-trail) and plan to do some good yoga too. Matt will be home, so I'd like to get in a bike ride if I can ... maybe I can convince him to take the kids and I can bring my bike to the rail-trail ... hmmmm ...

Really tired ... headed to bed soon ...

Since you won't let them watch, all they can do is imagine it!

Better for all of us that way .

Glad to hear you did get some sunshine, Julie.

[LisaS]

so how'd the laundramat rail-trail trek go?

[UConnJulie]

Ended up postponing until today ... hit the gas station to use my 50 cents off coupon (per gallon) then the grocery store for TP and papertowels ... then the laundromat. There were only 2 available washers when we got there ... I had SIX loads of laundry!!! ARRGGGHHHH!!!

So we had to wait around a lot ... only got in about 10 minutes of walking. Out to the bridge. Two quick games of Pooh Sticks ... skip back. (Hayley has finally gotten skipping down. I need to take a video because it is H-Y-S-T-E-R-I-C-A-L!!!!!)

Then putting it all away when we got home ... blah blah blah ... really really low energy today. Just tired ... and no energy. I almost feel like I'm coming down with something but GOD I hope not!!

I got out of VA just in time! Two dudes in my class (but not in my group) were chumming this morning. I basically doused myself in Purell and refused to go in the same room with them. Damn carriers.

I hope you feel better/don't get sick.

[UConnJulie]

Thanks ... just tired I think ... plus that time in my cycle when I get tired ... Aunt Flo should be here on Monday I think ...

Didja get my email?

I sure did. Thanks!

[UConnJulie]

Went for a 40 minute walk with the girls ... there is a bridge about 3/4 mile away and I thought it would be fun to walk there, play Pooh sticks, then walk back.

Ha.

Lots of whining. I practically had to drag the two of them. GAH!!!! I can't wait to get home so I can exercise by myself.

Took 40 minutes. According to my Bugg I burned about 5 cals per minute. There's that at least.

Okay so it's not just me that gets wicked tired before DOT starts up. Bob had a most sleepy girlfriend this past weekend.
