I have quite a busy day ahead of me so I got up before 6 this morning and immediately met JW in the living room for a 40 min total body workout.

I have dropped a couple pounds this summer after cleaning up my portion sizes.  A couple pounds makes a visible difference when you are only 5 foot tall, so my abs appear a little flatter.  Great!  Right?  WRONG!  I could not even do the full minute of ab exercises in the upper or lower abdominals segments.  One minute x 3 moves, that is it.  My abs crashed and burned.  Even though my stomach may look at tad flatter than it did 6 months ago, I ended my workout feeling weak.

Would you rather be skinny or strong?

Lets be honest, in a dream world we would all have both!  For me-I idolize women with strong, powerful bodies!  I would rather have the toned shoulders and triceps of a fitness model than the size 0 waist of a runway model.

Oh yes, I continued my cereal fad today.  It looked better before I stirred it up.

Friday Fun Facts (Don’t worry I have not forgot about these!)

• I am counting down the days until I get to fly back to good ol’ Indiana.  I am praying that it is like 70 degrees.  (Yes, I dream about 70 degree weather)
• My dog likes to sit on our window sill.  Apparently he is part cat?
• My coffee addiction is strictly linked to school.  I need a cup before anything gets done.
• I am one of those people that goes to bed at night and finds bruises all over their legs because I am clutzy and managed to run into crap all day.
• Football season is so bittersweet for me.  I love it and love getting on my team shirts and watching games all weekends.  At the same time, I grew up in a town that revolved around Purdue tailgating and games so I am also sad and homesick watching them on TV.
