MP Quote of the Week

One of my favorites...

"[T]hey're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom." ~ Sarah Palin, getting the role of the Vice President wrong after being asked by a third grade student what the Vice President does

Mother of the Year

This story of unconditional love brought tears to my eyes.

I only wish Edmonton were closer; I'd go adopt Esperanza myself.

-1 again

Not too shabby for the holiday week. A loss is a loss.

Last week I ran 3x (insomnia completely derailed my workout plans), lifted 3x, and did not make it to yoga. Oh well.

This week's goals:
- Run 4x
- Lift 3x
- Yoga if possible on Friday or Saturday (I'll check the holiday class schedule)
- Stay warm in my heat-less office!

Merry and happy to all.

MP* Quote of the Week!

(*Moronic Palin, for those who forgot)

"Going out there and winning this would mean a lot. It would be like a big middle finger out there to all the people out there who hate my mom and hate me." ~ Bristol Palin, on live television during the finale of Dancing with the Stars

Stay classy, Bristol.

-1

Not bad. 151 this morning. It's moving in the right direction, at least!

How did I do on last week's goals?
- Skipped only one full day, but skipped a few workouts during the week nonetheless. For example, Tuesday I didn't feel well so I just lifted and skipped my run. Friday I ran out of time and didn't run, but I did teach a boot camp class. You get the idea.
- Did eat more fruits and veggies. And M&Ms.
- Lifted weights 3x. Yes!

This week's goals are:
- Get more sleep.
- Run four times.
- Lift weights at least two times.
- Make it to yoga once.

I can do this.

How are my partners in crime doing???

This week's goals

I started the week at 152 again. Considering the fact that I skipped four -- yes, four! -- workouts last week and ate out all weekend in NYC, I am OK with maintaining.

I've decided to make my goals public, again in the hope that doing so will shame me into meeting them.

This week, I will:
- Not skip any workouts (that means one day off, and one day only)
- Increase fruit and veggie intake
- Lift weights at least twice

Clearly, I'm subscribing to the KISS method. :)
