Saturday - gettin'er done.

I can't believe it's Saturday evening already. Whew, what a day.

Hugh had early release yesterday, so my mother went to get him at school and brought him home for some bonding time. I stopped and got fixin's to make pizza - I know, not diet food. All i can say is YUM!

I was pooped, so I retired early - in bed before 8:00 to read and watch TV. Dogs got me up at 5 to potty. I went back to bed. Got up at 7:30. Proceeded to eat my morning dose of bran flakes. I love me some bran flakes. After chatting with a friend in Missouri, I got down to business and did 3 of 5 miles of the Leslie Sansone 5-Mile Indoor Walk. I was so skeptical, but I have to confess that I like it. Grabbed a shower and got the car warmed up -it's zeroish again here - and headed for town for a haircut. See before and after below:

Before

After

Am I not cute as a button? Since I"m all coiffed and looking so fine, certainly it's appropriate for me to clean. So I tackled my own room - a necessary evil. I chased down and killed some major dust-bunny action. No catch and release program here - those bunnies went dowwwwwn. I also clean half of the closet. There is a wood floor in there and a door to the crawl space!! Who knew? (I knew; I just haven't seen them for months...or years.) I threw away a giant garbage bag full of clothes and other junk just not worth keeping. The cats live in the closet, so I left them in peace when I was done with half. I'll get to the other half one of these days. My floors are clean up there, and I can see the picture on the TV much more clearly. Huh.

After surfing the net and watching some MTV and Paranormal State, I decided I'd better do some more fitness. So I geared up and got on the elliptical. I almost quit at 10 minute, and again at 20, but I endured and did a full 30. Then I got supper going - sloppy joes for Hugh - and did mile 4 of the Leslie Sansone DVD - she brings in a whole band of cackling walkers for that one. After that 15-minute mile I headed for the kitchen to continue with sloppy joe fixing. Once done, i went back and did the 5th mile with Leslie - she's all alone again for that one.

Let's add up the fitness: 45+30+30=105 minutes of cardio today. I'm done for the day now. Tomorrow I get to do Jillian's kickbox as well as some elliptical as well as some Leslie Sansone.

Foodwise: ~~shrug~~ not exactly great, but I haven't sunk my own battle ship either. Let's just say that I do NOT want a fraction of a pound as my weightloss this coming week, so I'm trying really hard to get in lots and lots of fiber - lots...I bought some faux metamucil that's berry flavored. I have to say I like it. With the fruit and bran I've been eating, I don't' think I have to worry too much about being "overloaded" on weigh-in day.

PS - I love dates. Who knew? I thought they'd be nasty. On the contrary, they are like candy. I've been snacking on those today. Sugary, yes. But soooo good. I guess I'd better look up the health bennies of those bad boys right now.

PPS - got pics ready for my last 3 feline unit introductions. See me Sunday.

Have a great evening or morning or whatever applies to your reading of this. it's been a good day up in here.
