Two in a Row!

Blogs, that is. Three days of cardio in a row. And two days this week of strength training. I'd say we're off to a good start. Last time I made it to the gym more days in a week than not was ... October? That's the most optimistic estimate.

Today's exercise-induced malady is that my OTHER shoulder hurts. I've been seeing my chiropractor biweekly for about a month now. She is sure in just a few more weeks I can cut back to once a week. That's good, because the price tag is not healthy. We'll see what she has to say about my aches and pains this week. It sounds like I'm an old lady but it's really my parents' fault, they gave me bad-back genes.

I had one of my favorite meals today - a turkey-avocado-swiss sandwich. I prefer them on an everything bagel but opted for lower-point artisan bread. There was NOTHING unhealthy about it. I also bought a 'pouch' of smoothie mix from Target. I've heard good things about it (thanks to WW message boards and Hungry Girl) and figure it will be a good way to get some fruit in. Produce this time of year is blah, and honestly, I am not about to waste any points on blah food.

In other news, I got the confirmation call for the Activate America class that I'm taking. It starts Monday. I can already work out, cardio wise, but its the strength-training and ACCOUNTABILITY elements that I need some extra support on. Plus, my auntie Loretta is joining me for the class so I get to support her too. I have fantasies of it being like Biggest Loser only no one wins money, we all just lose inches!

Putting my feelers out for a few other jobs tomorrow, including for the spa and and as a gym attendant, showing people how to work machines. What a kick that would be! Both would be really fun jobs. As would the community-organizer pseudo-political positions I've applied for. Craig starts a temp position tomorrow, so I've gotta catch up.

So I think my first 10-lb reward should be "Dance Dance Revolution" for PS2. What a better way to burn some calories? Any other suggestions?
