Happy Not-Monday!

I like Mondays the aren't Mondays. They make Friday so much closer.

That made perfect sense in my head, so phooey on you if you didn't get it.

I was totally bad all weekend and didn't update once. We had such gorgeous weather I spent as much of it outdoors as I possibly could, and by the time the evenings came, I was exhausted. Like, exhausted. I fell asleep at 9:30 last night.

I had a very good weekend though. Actually everything from Friday on was great. Friday afternoon, work let us off easy to go attend some fancy-pansy event in Victoria Park - translate that to, I stood in the sunshine and spaced out. Then had a *killer* hard core workout with Shawn that was absolutely great, and totally a lot of fun. Seriously, I haven't laughed that much in a long time. He kept reminding me how far I'd come since I started working with him, actually pulling figures from our first assessment and sessions. It was fantastic.

Saturday I had a whole day to myself, so I wandered off to the Farmer's Market, got some very yummy Swiss Chard and beet greens, and some treats for my dogs, then went out to Masstown Market and got some whole wheat biscuits. Those might have been a bad choice. Those might be why the scale is reading a little heavier this morning. I think I'm going to have to up the cardio workouts this week. And, I planted some flowers. I like gardening.

Sunday, I hit the gym bright and early. Was supposed to have a friend come with me, but that didn't happen. Then, since it was nice again, I went back to gardening all afternoon. And went for a walk.

Yesterday, an old friend from university was in town, so we decided to meet for lunch. Since I knew I wasn't going to be able to find anything really healthy in Truro, I decided to put in a really good workout before we went out, and then we walked for like, thirty-five minutes looking for someplace that was open on Victoria Day. Apparently restaurants don't open on Victoria Day around here. Oh well. Should have at least been enough to work off lunch. Though, again, looking at the scale....

This week is absolutely nuts. I have two training sessions, a chiropractic appointment, a hair appointment, and I'm getting ready to go to Bathurst this weekend. And I think I need a vacation. Possibly. Okay, quite likely. I can feel the stress sitting at the back of my head. Or, I need a new job. That's possible too.

But, for now I'm going to look forward to my training session with Shawn, try to remember that I'm not supposed to be obsessing over the scale, and have faith that if I do one thing at a time, everything will come together for this weekend. It has to, right?

Oh, and a happy, not-Monday to you all! Hope you enjoy it!
