MIA

Well I didnt post for two days. I was really tired and sort of busy. On Saturday evening my friend Tammy and I went to dinner and then to the mall. I bought a couple pairs of pants and a new skirt and top. I also got something for Paul. I dont want to mention what it is since I dont want him to know and he sometimes reads the blog. Lets just say, its cute and cuddly. Later, I will divulge more on this. After I got home that night it was late, nearly 9:30, but I had to work some more on my Sunday school lesson. I was so tired though that I ended up going to bed and then getting up at 6:00 on Sunday to put the finishing touches on it. The lesson went ok. I got some new kids in the class and I am not sure if I am misreading their personalities or what but they come across as disrespectful... I called them out on it but then second guessed myself on it. When I told Paul about it he said it sounded as though they were rude as well. Anyhow, after church I met some of the ladies from the unit at Ruby Tuesdays for lunch. WE sat and ate and talked for a couple hours and then I came home and relaxed a bit, had a small dinner of a sandwich and some light chips before heading to church. At church was 4th Sunday and the men were in charge of refreshments. I tasted 6 different things with a teaspoon so I was really proud of myself for not getting full servings of all the desserts. When I got home from church I put on my jammies, watched Army Wives and sipped a cup of Morracan Orange Spiced tea. It was really good. I slept so good that night and woke up really refreshed on MOnday morning. ON Monday I met Denise and Mary for lunch at Tripps. Again, I made a good choice. I got a baked potato and ate half of it, a salad without bacon or croutons (kept the almonds), tomato dressing which is heavenly, and some grilled shrimp. The shrimp was an appetizer but I ordered it as an entree with my potato. The order contained 6 large shrimp and I ate 4 of them. Later, I had some blue berries for a snack and then a beef stick before meeting Meggy at the river trail to walk. We walked 5 miles. I was completely exhausted when we were done not to mention starving! I came home and had me some dinner about 8:00, a cup of tea and was in bed before 10:00. I slept so good except that I had to get up twice to pee last night:(
This morning I was really tired when my alarm went off at 5:05 for crossfit. I hit the snooze once and then got up and microwaved a cup of leftover coffee to revive me somewhat. Once I was up and had my face washed I was fine though so I made my way to crossfit and was on time at 6:05. I did the warm up and then we did the work out. The WOD was 50 situps the 4 RFT of 6 single arm db snatches, (I used at 15 lb the first round and then 20 lbs for the remaining 3 rounds) and 400 meter run. Capping that off with 50 hollow rocks. My time was 29:04. We have been doing a bunch of running in CF lately. I dont mind because it really is helping me lose body fat. I can definitly see a difference in my endurance too. So, all in all today I ran 1.25 miles counting the warm up. Tonight Meg and I are walking again. I think we decided on 3 miles but I suppose we could go farther if we arent too tuckered out. We are planning on doing the entire 8 miles on Sunday because we need to build up our endurance for the half marathon we are doing in November in Wilmington. I am excited and nervous at the same time about it. I just want to do it and I dont care if I walk it, run/walk it or whatever. I just want to do it. So far, its Meg and I. Denise says she wants to but she hasnt registered yet. I hope she does though. I think it would be a good thing for her and we would all have a good time for sure.
Ok, gonna go. I am meeting someone for coffee at SB in a bit. They are donating greeting cards to the soldiers to send home to their spouses:) More on this later!
