"TLFC" exercise and accountability support!

Ugh, these last couple of days. I am really, really tired, and trying to make up for it by eating fun size Snickers bars is just not working out. I'm over-caffeinated as well.

I'm fighting a sinus infection and now have added a chest cough. And the plan is to fly out to Prince Edward Island in a few days for a conference.

My workout yesterday was 30 min. treading water, mostly, with a little swimming in the pool. Today: 3 walks with my dog. We keep a pretty good pace, which is why I "count" our walks as workouts.

Food: hash brown casserole tonight; last night's supper was leftover Domino's pizza.

Calves Extend <superset> Cable Crunch 4x10, 15, 20, 25

Food: Dinner was ground hamburger with rice and sautéed mushrooms

Rest day. I'm a mom, though, so even sick I had a work meeting and then a trip to the mall with my kids (so fun--reminds me of high school weekends in the early 90s!).

Meals:

Cardio: short walk with the dog and not much else. Really hot now--I'll go do a bit of gardening in a minute. Bought a couple of new flowering plants today for the front walk.

Food: black tea with half and half, pumpkin overnight oats for b'fast; Starbucks ribbon crunch frappe for lunch (I know, I know); bean-potato casserole and watermelon wedges for supper--also broccoli with cheese even though it didn't go with the other parts of the meal. Oh well. I've never claimed to be Julia Child . . . if I did, maybe I'd make a cold salmon mousse or something else from the 60s.

Life: My wife made it home after a week visiting friends out of state, that's good news. My son's dog and his wife's dog had another fight which drew blood, that's bad news. We're pretty sure it stems from the fact her dog is not spayed, his is, and when the one goes into heat she gets hyper aggressive towards the other female. Trying to make arrangements to get her spayed, hoping that'll prevent future aggression.

Analysis: My commute via interstate between cities for my job has been a nightmare this week, with a different accident every day causing massive traffic jams and turning a one-hour commute into two+ hours. It's really zapped my energy to hit the gym after work, which is why I'm only on my second workout of the week on Thursday. Combine that with a hitch in my hip limiting what leg movements I could do comfortably today, and not exactly my best workout.

Food: Last night was homemade chicken pot pie.
