Aug. 23rd, 2007 10:10 pmSo busy lately!
Today I got my ass into the living room on time to do my 3 mile walk DVD and even did all the weight training on the last mile! This week I have been rotating Maya (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 45 minutes cardio/weights))with Leslie (Tuesday, Thursday, 3 mile walk/light weights), and doing very well. I've not missed any of my cardio time this month, I've been resting on Sundays and doing an hour or more on Saturdays.
Rose came by right when I finished my workout and we did some studying, we are currently reading this book:
We had a couple of really good discussions. Some of what they say about the way women were viewed in ancient times is a little hard to read, but then some of it makes quite good sense. It's hard to explain. I'm not agreeing that women should be quiet and stay at home, mind you, but there are a couple of things about striving toward a virtuous life that make sense for all sexes, and some of the philosophers were far ahead of their time in their thinking. Anyway, this is a good book so far, very thought provoking.
Then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
menuetranit came by for a bellydance lesson (it was a pleasure to meet you!). I had a lovely time and I hope she stays with dancing, she will look lovely doing it, I couldn't help but dress her up in gorgeous costumes in my mind. Is that wrong or weird? that I imagine what ladies will look like in full costume? Anyway, whatever, I'm weird.
Then I was off to meet a guy who lives local to me that is involved with doing educational work involving the local stream systems. I think he does a lot of work with tree cover, something that a lot of the streams lose pretty quickly in urban areas. Anyway, he was very nice (wish I'd dressed for the pool, I was sitting there sweating in the crazy heat). Then Melinda and I went to meet her folks at O' Charley's for dinner. I don't really go out to dinner much, I guess because I cook so much, I'd just rather cook things myself, but I had a really yummy chicken with rice and mango salsa that was awesome. Now I want to figure out how to make it myself. I was a good girl and only ate half of my order of chips and salsa, and half of my dinner, the rest I put in boxes. This is part off stage two on Sparkpeople, you work on cutting portion size. I've been doing well with that, mostly because I have realized that a lot of my problem was stuffing my face without waiting for my belly to tell me when it's full. Now that I am trying to eat a little slower, and knowing right from the start that half of my plate is going home for tomorrow, it makes things easier to control. I know I'm boring you guys to tears with thsi stuff, but one day I'm going to look all fit, and you'd better not say something like, "Wow, what's your secret?" I'll just laugh at you.
