Busy Mummy!

It's been a bit strange this weekend.  I mean I got so used to my routine this week that it feels strange to be hanging around the house.  

Exercise

40 minutes on treadmill (at home): burned 363 calories

Food

Small oat bagel

2 tbsp cream cheese

1 pink grapefruit

1 cup Raisin Bran cereal with 1% milk

2 slices 12-grain bread

4 slices veggie turkey

Very small amount of light cheddar

1/4 avocado

Lettuce

1/4 red pepper

1 tbsp light mayo (45 calories)

Whole grain mustard... guhghgh... so good!  I love mustard.

1 Laura Secord 72% cocoa chocolate (50 calories)

Couple a cuppas

1 nectarine - SO GOOD!  I was surprised it was so yummy, I expected it to taste, well, out of season!

1 Amy's broccoli pie

1 litre water

I gave myself one day off of exercise this weekend and I felt kind of crappy for having done it. Granted, I couldn't have done it last night anyway 'cause I felt so crappy.  With husband's encouragement I got on the treadmill this evening, but it was super hard and I didn't enjoy it at all.  The wee man was really curious and excited and I couldn't concentrate because I kept thinking he was going to try and get on the treadmill, or do something silly, etc.  It was very frustrating.  Note to self:  go on treadmill when wee man is napping or at school.  I'm kind of torn about that because he should see us exercising and even start to participate.  Then again, maybe I can do jumping and stretching, etc with him instead of exposing him to something dangerous.

It's been a busy Sunday, but a productive one and that is good news.  5 loads of laundry done and one in the dryer right now.  On Sundays I make sure absolutely all the laundry is done, including towels & bedding; somehow this process makes me feel better.  I also cleaned like crazy!  I suppose this sort of counts for exercise too.

Tomorrow's a big day!  Wee man starts taking the bus to school.  Le sigh.  It will be very difficult for me to not cry, but I will try my hardest to be brave for his sake.  I know he'll be okay.  Also, tomorrow I will start going to a different location of my gym.  Cool thing is, it's on the top floor of my regular grocery store!  This is uber convenient because then I can buy my produce for that evening's meal.  I love buying produce as I need it, but usually buy a bunch because I don't want to make unnecessary trips to the store.  I think I'll start meal planning.

A friend of mine and I have decided to make mixed CDs (remember making mixed tapes?) for each other featuring our favourite workout music.  This way we get some new music and a fresh outlook on what gets the other moving - I love this!  As it turns out, we both love to work out to gangsta rap, so it should be interesting to see what two VERY white chicks in the suburbs can come up with.

I'm going to hunt for some more odd veg tomorrow.  The first odd veg worked out so well!
