The Gym, Cookies and More

I'm just finishing Day 7 of the latest YOAD 21 Day Challenge. I'm feeling pretty darn good too. I'm a bit tired today because I did double gym duty. This morning I did the 60 minute Strictly Strengthening class with my DH and I went back tonight for another 40 minutes (and 519 calories) on the Cybex. My eating was a bit wacky this afternoon so I thought I better push myself a bit and go back to burn some more calories. I'm glad I did but I am definitely tired.

Yesterday we spent about 3 hours sorting, lifting, loading, carrying and just plain lugging cases of Girl Scout cookies. Wow! I have a few muscles in my arms today that are saying "HEY! What the heck did you do to us?!". LOL! It was fun to do, we have done it every year for about 7 or 8 years now. Once we got the huge load sorted for about 50 different troops we were able to sort out our own troops and bring them home. Then we got to sort *those* cookies out by each girl that sold them. Finally, once they were all sorted we could start distributing them to the girls in our troop. SO, now I have about 50 or so cases left for our first cookie booths. I'm not too worried about the temptation of them because I honestly don't want to eat them. (We'll see if that lasts throughout the sale or not...LOL).

We spent most of the afternoon yesterday delivering cookies to folks in the neighborhood. They were excited to see that cookies were in. Everyone sure seems to love Girl Scouts at cookie time! ;-)

Tomorrow is weight & measurement day. I'll be sure to post the stats when I have them. I'm hoping for a nice result. I've been doing great with exercise and I've stayed within my calorie range 6 of the last 7 days. The day that I went out of calorie range, I exercised extra hard to compensate for the difference. We'll see what happens.
:-)

Have a super day!
