DAY 23

One lap around complex with handweights
Nice long stretching routine
5 minutes on stairclimber
50 crunches
30 each side lats
30 each side obliques
50 back raises
25 (+5) wuss pushups
30 (+10) each side inside inner thigh raises
30 (+10) each side outside inner thigh raises
30 (+10) each side side leg lifts
20 scissor kicks
20 each side kneeling leg raises (for glutes; new)
20 tip-toe raises (for calves; new)

I felt a little off this morning, but I found myself doing my workout automatically anyway. It's really becoming part of my daily routine, I guess.

I managed to make Sean's lunch this morning, too, which is good.

Last night we had the oh-so-healthy hotdogs and macaroni and cheese, but tonight I think I'm going to make mini meatloaves. (You know, I don't think those are any healthier...) I'll probably make mashed potatoes too, and maybe steam some broccoli. I was unhappy with the last time I steamed broccoli from this particular bunch, so I'm not sure if it'll be good or not. The best broccoli crowns I've had have been from Winn-Dixie, though the Wal-Mart ones are fine too. Maybe Publix just doesn't get good broccoli, or maybe broccoli is out of season?

At any rate, I have to go by Publix again today because I forgot shampoo and conditioner...even though they were both right there on my list, which I was looking at while I was in the store. Bleh!

I've been thinking that if/when I get pregnant, we can probably stay in this apartment for about a year before we have to get a bigger place. But we'll definitely need to move somewhere with three bedrooms after that. One for us, one for baby, one for computers :> I'd actually like to have something more like a "den" for our computer stuff, but we'll see how that goes.

If we do move, I've been wondering if we should just get a bigger apartment, or go for a house. I know a house payment would probably be lower than rent for a bigger apartment here at Spring House, so...

Anyway, off to work :)

If you're getting fresh broccoli, you might consider getting it from the frozen vegetable section. You can get a larger store, you can get a mix of that and some other shit, and you can just pull out a little at a time as you need it. It's just as healthy, it's more convenient (it won't spoil), and likely it'll always taste pretty decent which isn't always the case with fresh shit. Well, that's how Faye does it, but it's up to you. ;>

That's a thought.

I guess I have been trying to do everything "perfectly"...my friend Kelly made fun of me the other day because I was peeling and cutting french fries by hand, "the old fashioned way".

Are frozen foods really as healthy as fresh? I know that cooking takes out some nutrients either way.

I like to steam my broccoli...wonder how that would go with frozen stuff.

Ah well, I may just try it.
