monday, monday

so, i'm not doing as well as i had hoped for my 30-day challenge, and this week will probably be the nail in the coffin. but i'm still trying nonetheless to work out as much as i can, even with a little here and there. (it has to help somewhat, right??)

day 12 - pilates (1 hour)

day 13 - a little weight-lifting, a little abs (probably 15 minutes)

day 14 - nothing.

day 15 - i spent the day as a "runner" for a regional National Ocean Sciences Bowl. so from 7am to nearly 7pm (aside from a lunch break), i was on my feet, and briskly running/jogging/sprinting on occasion every half hour or so (on average). i'd say that counts. [this is my 4th year as runner for this competition. i love it!]

day 16 - hot yoga (90 minutes)

day 17 (today) and day 18 (tomorrow) - are not looking promising. excuses excuses. like having to work late, and wedding-related errands. and maybe that i also have to eat some food out of our fridge and freezer, which doesn't really happen when i workout later than normal, because then i don't want to eat dinner. see, excuses excuses.

anyway. work is very busy, in general things are very busy.

BUT. today i will get to have MY dress on for the first time. since it's a custom dress, i've never had a sample of it on, so i'm so nervous, hoping it will be right and everything that i've wanted. my appointment is in 2 hours, and these will be some long, slow two hours. as long as everything is fine when i put it on, i think i will be able to breathe a little easier for the next 5 1/2 months.

hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
