"During those seasons when we wonder, “How did I get here and when can I leave?” it’s best to look for our God-given opportunities instead of focusing on the obstacles. That’s the way to do something with our nothing." David McCasland

Got that from an O.D.B. devotional this morning. I can really apply that to my life right now: I'm not working this week, so instead of complaining about that, I'm really going to take advantage of the time to get ahead in my school work, finally answer some emails floating around, etc. I think God wants me to slow down!

My weight is down, finally... 138.2. Holy crap this happens so slowly, lol... :-) But that's more than half a pound. And maybe I'm still bloated a little from the full-stop sooo... we'll see.

Review of Yesterday:
geez, just go read yesterday. Workout was great.

Today's Workouts:
Shape Bikini Body Camp transforming workout: the Potpourri segment: 30 minutes total: 10 minutes kickboxing, 10 minutes weight training, and 10 minutes "skills and drills". Then, 10 minute high-intensity cardio (added 1 lb wrist weights) and 10 minute women's sculpting from TBL Volume 2. Finally, three segments from Women's Health TWin10 = upper body (kept the wristweights on, plus 5 lb dumbbells), the core segment, and balance and flexibility.

I'm soaked.

ADD: 3 Mile WAYW w/ Dad... did not use belt or weights. + 45 minutes.


Breakfast:
reasonable portion of leftover pesto penne (sundried tomato pesto, black/green olives, lower carb penne), plus I added extra diced tomatoes, a tad part-skim ricotta cheese, sprinkled a sizeable amount of ground flax seed over it. Also had a mixed spinach and raw broccoli floret side salad with low cal Italian dressing and a pinch of Parmesan.

Lunch:
1 banana with reduced-fat PB and later a bowl of black beans, 1/2 cup brown rice, with a smidge of Mexican blend cheese...

Dinner:

Dessert/snacks:
ice cream sandwich mid-morning (9:30), one 60-cal Extra Dark chocolate stick (after lunch)

Water:
