Whew!

I'm tired today! I have been exercising a lot since Sunday, so it makes sense that I would feel worn. I also did not sleep the sleep of the dead (um....yay!) Sunday night or last night. Pretty sure I can solve this mystery by saying one word - COFFEE!

Today I did not have any caffeine after noon. And I can tell. I actually got a little noggin ache which I'm sure was related.

Anyway, onto the purpose of this blog! Which is not, contrary to my apparent believe, to have a forum for complaining!

I ate healthy all day. Cereal and fruit, more fruit, peppers, cucumbers, radishes, chili (with pineapple salsa -YUM), and ww lavish with hummus.

During lunch I had another solo walk. We've been down a man yesterday and today so we have been sort of adjusting schedules for lunches, that is why I've not walked with J. Although yesterday seemed like it was a different reason....but that was so long ago I cannot remember....man, I digress!

Anyway: Lunch! I did the hill walk again today - twice. Same as yesterday. Jogged down and then part of the way up. Walked the rest of the way. Repeat. Some additional jogging today, actually. It was good and I was sweaty!

I also jogged after work. 3 miles. Very slow, actually. Once I was out I just didn't feel too spicy, if you know what I mean. So I finished it up but I did not attempt to break any speed records!

I also needed to go to the bank tonight, so I walked over there after jogging. Sort of my cool down, I guess. Not sure of the distance for that little leg - under a mile. It's not far from my house. It is just on El Cajon Blvd and 33rd. The tow truck driver who had to deliver me gas there last week can attest to the location.......Moving on!

Tomorrow I won't be exercising my body. I'll be exercising my civic duty! Or maybe I'll be engaged in an exercise of futility! Anyway, I have jury duty. Generally I would consider this a nice faux vacation and really embrace the day. However, I have to be at the courthouse at 7:45!! YES - that is AM!!! Unbelievable. I've usually only been up for 9 minutes at 7:45!

So, I'm doing that and I am meeting a pal for coffee (I'm having tea this week!) then learn to be an adult meeting. So, I have a busy day. And I'm all kinds of worn out so I am going to appreciate the forced inactivity. Even if I don't appreciate getting up waaaay earlier then God ever intended.

You are really doing great I think. All that exercise - it wears me out reading about it! But good for you!

Jury duty! Hey, fun. I did that once many years ago and kind of enjoyed it. Had to go 10 times during 6 months at that time here. Don't know what it requires nowdays. I was only on 1 jury though. It was interesting though.

Was your trial the "Mountain Dew" defense???

I just have to go for one day (maybe). If they choose me for trial, I have to stick around a few more days. Otherwise, duty served!

Thanks! I have been working hard (some days more then others!). I just am doing this push now and then my plan - when I get where I want to be - is to commit to an hour a day.
