I just came back from a visit with a friend.  That is so good for my 'person'; just to be able to natter about life-stuff happening, experiences, advise, whatever.  It's something I definately need.  I would go absolutely crazy if I were left alone with just me. Some days I just don't like myself!  I'm sure that's a pretty normal thing....right?

I'm starting to wake up now, maybe I'll go down and have a quick workout while I can - nah, you're supposed to take days off in between so I won't push it and today just 'recover'. Drink lots of water to replenish my poor wussy tired body (big suck!), and tomorrow get my hubby to 'train' me again.  My muscles are still a bit sore from yesterday's workout.  He's good, he does make me work a little harder than if I was by myself, mind you I DO work hard!  I did, however do my bench presses with a wider grip so my pecs work a bit harder, so tomorrow I'll do my legs again as well as back and arms.

I want to be able to do the plank because of the superior core/ab training it gives, but my right foot always points.  I've tried bracing it against the wall, holding the other foot to block it, stretching it and placing it in position, but as soon as I'm in the plank position, it inevitably will slowly start to point till I'm resting on the top of my foot.  Maybe I should just start there, I wonder if I would get the same benefits? You know what? tomorrow I will try that.

I'm staying consistent with the level of supplements that I'm on and I seem to be feeling well, emotionally and physically so I'm going to keep this steady for a bit.  IF, and that's a big IF I'm in the sunshine alot in the summer I will decrease my level of Vit D,  but we seem to be having 'Apru-ary' as I heard on the radio this morning.  I woke up to a blizzard! And now it is cold/raining/slushy, I think this is going to call for fuzzy jammies right quick!  My dress shirt/tight jeans feel really bad when I think of the cuddly fuzzy warm jammies calling... what's that? Yes, I'm coming!  Oh excuse me, I have to go see what all the commotion is about!
Ok, I'm back, they're all fine now, they were lonely jammies crying, and would not stop until I put them on so they're secure.  Poor things, they're good now. (so am I tee hee!!)

So, tomorrow I will make Biscotti's.  I try not to make them TOO often because of all the simple carbs.  Course I COULD and have made them with whole wheat flour and I do put about 1/2 the amount of sugar called for, but they just don't taste as good as when I make them with good ol' white flour.  And plus, I'm putting chocolate bits in them tomorrow,  now THAT will be a treat!  Then I'll bring them with me when I volunteer next week for the staff at coffee break!

Ok. Now to get dinner going - baked garlic for appy, prawns and rice sauteed in garlic butter for me, and perogies/sausage done with garlic/bacon for the man and the 'Bear.  Gotta down some more green tea w/ lemon to keep flushing those pores/body.

See ya next time!
Be healthy! You'll be happy!
