Just Do It













As Nike says: Just do it.

Wear some softy shorts and your 5K t-shirt. Eat something light the night before. Run or even walk at your own pace. Bring as many keys and whatever music device you would like. Don't run with water because it will get heavy after a while.

This will be my 5th one this year I think. And I have never seen anybody have water thrown on them nor have I seen the organization ban IPods. I have gotten annoyed at loud people talking though, but that may have been because they were being super annoying and saying obnoxious things. So don't worry.

Just do it!

Last night I did good on date night, kinda. We split pecan crusted chicken. But we also split some chips and dip and a bowl of soup. I guess it was okay though because I had a fat burner smoothie and unsalted nuts for lunch and some special k for breakfast. Then I did a Jillian video before bed, which felt great. I had not done one since last Tuesday. I'm doing both videos tonight. Looking forward to it and my tan after work. Brian is going to a work bowling and dinner party tonight. He asked if I could come and is trying to get me to crash it. No way! I'm not showing up if it's Pluckers people only. Awkward. So I'll use the night to clean the house and work out and get in bed early so I can stay awake and alert at work tomorrow. I've been lagging this week pretty bad.

The grad plans are fine, I guess. We really just need to focus on the backyard now. Last weekend I painted all the baseboards and scrubbed the floors till my back hurt. We still need to get the toilet fixed. 15 people have confirmed they'll attend Brian's party. Next week we plan on raking the yard and sanding the deck for staining. The week after that you and Dad will be here and you can tell us what else needs to be done. I'm sure you'll have plenty of ideas. The week of will be the most stressful. It's just a matter of deep cleaning before guests arrive. I also need to order B's cake at some point. I designed a pretty grad pic of B with TxState background and we're going to make copies of it, put them in frames and wrap them for the parents and grandparents this week. I also re-covered the dining room chairs and they look really really good. Glad I did that. I'm so afraid it will be pouring rain that day like it has this week. If it does everything will be ruined and we need a backup plan. What do you think?

So much to think about and spend money on. In the mean time, my clothes don't fit and I feel strange everywhere I go.

Had a good breakfast today and I have a plan for the day so I'll stay on track. Still in the mind frame. This is the longest diet/workout program I have ever stayed on in my entire life. And it's not even that hard anymore. Don't quit on me now.

  1. That's what i was thinking - I've never stayed on a Diet and Exercise plan this long and this consistent. Thanks to you guys (or lately thanks to one of you guys;-))

    Btw, I hate when employers have "work parties" that do not include inviting a guest - it's so couple unfriendly. When is he going to quit that "meat market" job? (keep your backup plan just in case- kidding kidding)

    I'm thinking some type of tarp or plastic stretched from the roof and secured to the fence but that's more in your dad's department.
