it is unbelievably hot in houston, as i am sure it is for the rest of the country. it just seems excessively hot this summer. maybe it’s that it started out really hot in may, and the summer just feels longer. not really sure which it is, but i hate it. hate hate hate it.
i was on the phone last night talking to katrina about how i don’t feel like i will fall off the body for life wagon. it’s weird. i feel very in control and i love that. once again, i think it has a lot to do with the food prep and writing down what i eat, BEFORE i eat it. i am so much for committed if i know what the day holds, food-wise. the hardest part so far has been not skipping meals. i need to take the time to eat. with the kids and house, it’s hard. i am also working on a few things for my class this year, that i would love to get done with by the time i go back in august.
i am already thinking about my free day though….saturday is the day of choice, and we are going to eat, see the dark knight, drink, eat. i was really thinking the “half blood prince” trailer would happen before it, but alas, no. but i did hear some buzz that it will be before the mummy movie. i wonder if they would just let me slip in to see the trailer and then leave…..
tonight we are having the chicken parm from the eating for life cookbook. i might take a pic and post it, it looks great and i think the variety of having actual recipes is helping….
i’m off to have my protein shake!
day 2
ok, maybe i should call this day 1?? since yesterday i didn’t eat 6 mini meals, only ate 4, and did not get around to my lifting. but, on a great note, i did eat 4 wonderful mini meals and lots and lots of water! just like i had outlined in my eating for that day in the meals and moves link. i am going to try and update it every day, even my free day.
we are getting really excited around here for “the dark knight” movie. now, as most people know, we are obsessed with all things harry potter, and i had hoped for the last few months that the teaser for half blood prince would be in the previews to “the dark knight”. i read it’s not! booo! there has been nothing on the hbp movie out. no teaser, no international trailer. and it’s making me crazy. of course, we are excited about tdk for so many other reasons: christian bale, maggie gyllenhaal, christian bale, gary oldman, and what is being called ground breaking acting by heath ledger. and did i mention christian bale? he is such a great bruce wayne. and maggie is such a better fit for this almost indi feeling batman, much better than mrs. tom cruise. i felt that miscasting was as bad as julia roberts in oceans 11. it just didn’t work. every time i looked at mrs. cruise i thought of oprah and that couch.
i’m off to enter the meals and moves for today!
