I love June!!

and I don't mean the month. The woman who opens the gym every day is named June. She opens it well before 5:00 AM. She is the friendliest person at the gym. And today she complimented me. As I said good-bye to her she said "WOW - you have been working hard!" I said thank you and then she said "it is really starting to show!" That made my morning. I told her even if she was lying she made my day. She assured me that she would never lie. I skipped out of the gym.

I had a good work-out. I did my legs and then walk/ran for 45 minutes. It was a good time. NOT! The first twenty minutes were fine. It is after that when I start sucking wind. Especially the last 15 minutes. I am sure the longer I do it the better I will get.

This week has been nutty and even though I have lost a lot of classes due to different events, my days and afternoons have been busy. So right now it is bedtime and I am just now sitting down to write this!

When I am at the gym I think of so many stories I want to share with you. By the time I sit down with the computer I forget most of them. It is so annoying! I wish I had a way to record my stories while I am at the gym so I can put them "down on paper!"

Tomorrow is weigh in day. I am not going to the gym and I canceled my training appointment. To my knowledge he has not called me back. That's OK though. As for the weigh in. I am not expecting too much. I ate really, really well this week. Even tonight - it was tough. We had our Departing 8th Grade Banquet. All four of my advisees are 8th graders, and all four are leaving Fay after this year. It was an emotional night and one filled with fattening foods! We started with a salad which I had with a little bit of dressing. Dinner was starch, starch, starch. Chicken stuffed with stuffing, little baby potatoes and mashed yams. YUCK! I had one half of the chicken, two bites of stuffing, and one or two of the potatoes. Then there was dessert. Ohmigod it was cheesecake. Hmmmm Hmmmm good. I love the graham cracker crust so I started at the back and shaved off the back and then had about two more bites. Left all the rest on the table. Do you know how hard that was. SO HARD! I love, love, LOVE cheesecake.

Back to weigh in day - I am trying so hard not to get my hopes up. But if I haven't lost a few pounds I am going to research thyroid problems!!

til tomorrow -
