Gorgeous Freakin' Day!!!

Seriously... it's perfect! Sunny, glorious, 72 degrees, slight breeze... perfect! Todays workout was great too. Even tho I didn't make it in to the gym this morning I came to work prepared for a mid-day workout:

6 minute warmup on treamill, till I realized I should be OUTSIDE running!!!
3 mile run (OUTSIDE!) in 28:48 (not great, but not bad either)...
5 minutes on the rowing machine to cool down.

1 set each of the following exercises (20 reps per set, so I used pretty light weights for me)
Hammer curls (8lb dbs)
Alternating bicep curls (8lb dbs)
Concentration curls (8lb dbs)
Single Arm Tricep Overhead Press (8lb dbs)
Tricep Kick Back (8lb dbs)
Tricep cable pull down (35lbs) Rope attachment
Overhead Shoulder Press (8lb dbs)
Upright Row (8lb dbs)
Overhead Shoulder Press (8lb dbs)
30+ slow alternating bicycles, Swiss Ball pass (hands to feet with a crunch in the middle), plank pose for 45 seconds, Tripple crunches, 15 bicycles.

The scale said 151 today which really feels like a good jumping off point for my next 5 weeks of fat-burning. I want to work on my daily menus tonight (I decided against e-diets... like Brenda said a couple of days ago... I KNOW what works... I just need to do a little pre-planning and everything will be fine). I need to focus on 0 sugar, lots of good lean protein, veggies, some fruit and skim-dairy. I am going to try to make a document of some sort out of my menu plans that I can post for all to see and critique, so I'll keep you all posted on that.

OH! I did start working on the France pictures and it turns out that when I've been drinking I tend to take a lot of crappy photos of the backs of peoples' heads! I'm wading thru those, editing and preping for web-friendlyness and hopefully I'll have somthing for you soon.

All my thoughts are with Jim (thunderslug) and Laurie.
