5 Things Friday

Re: 5 Things Friday

  • 1.  Things at work have been a little overwhelming lately.  I'm mentally exhausted.

    2.  I've been doing the 30 Day Shred (Jillian Michaels).  I know you're supposed to do it for 30 days in a row, but it was seriously exhausting me, so I have been doing more like 5-7 days of it, then a break for 2 days.

    3.  Then today, I saw this article in my inbox:  http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_articles.asp?id=508, and realized that I had 6 out of 7 of those symptoms.  Oops!  So now I feel better about allowing myself some rest in there.

    4.   I had some ice cream last night.  Diet be damned, I needed it!

    5.  I plan to run errands this afternoon, and I'm looking forward to being out of the house for a while.

    Honest to God, if you are my size and would like to look through my things before they go to Goodwill, you are more than welcome!!  Just let me know.  :)  I have everything from casual sweaters to cocktail dresses/gowns.  Shoes too!

      I'm not your size, but based on what I know about you, I bet all of your clothes are stylish and really nice --- have you ever thought about taking them to a consignment shop?  You could probably make a decent amount of cash!

      Thanks, Mara.  That's sweet! :)

      I have thought about consignment, but haven't gone that route for a couple reasons. 

      A - I'm lazy.  LOL 
      B - From past experience, they generally don't like to take items that have been altered.  Almost everything of mine is altered in some way.  I suppose shirts would be fine to take, but pants, dresses, skirts, or jackets usually have some sort of alteration done on them.

      I should try to sell them to other pageant people.  Well...my fancier items.  I'd probably have better luck that route.

      I hated 30 Day Shred.  I give you credit for doing 5-7 days of it in a row!

      I LOVED 30 Day Shred when I did it. I didn't stick with it long enough to get the shred part though. I have carpal tunnel from my lovely child and too much of it was plank/push up stuff :(  I may try it again though.

I don't know how I'd be over doing it, but I must be. I have all those symptoms too!

      I just had a bowl myself :/  I even washed the bowl by hand so dh wouldn't know!! ha!
