Paid Holidays

I love paid holidays. Especially ones like today that don't require me to spend time with my family and businesses aren't closed (other than places like post office, which I don't frequent). I got a good workout in this morning already. I did a total of 45 minutes of cardio and I did a weight circuit thing that I really should have written down to refer to in the future. I was a little intimidated though using the big weight room because Don is normally with me, and in the evenings there is usually one or more other women in there working out as well.

Here's my update from the past week, since I've been so bad at posting lately...
Thursday night I did an hour of cardio while watching the Office and 30 Rock (this is what I will now refer to as the "Humor" workout. As much as I loved Grey's Anatomy, I really just need a good laugh at this point in life and less drama.
Friday I didn't workout at all because a friend of Don's came over and set up my wireless router so I can now sit anywhere I want in the house to do things like this (or homework, I guess) and not be confined to my desk.
Saturday I had every intention of working out after school, but since I had an emotional breakdown in the middle of the day all I wanted to do when I left there was have a drink and unwind.
By Sunday my legs ached so bad from not doing anything that I forced myself to run 4 miles. For some reason this is easier for me when I have taken a small break but my hamstrings were on fire after the run. Don helped me do a couple weight movements after that to work my chest and back.
You've read today's workout, so I won't summarize that one again. Tomorrow I won't be going to the gym because I have a hair appointment after work and I may be getting together with a friend I haven't seen for years, which is really exciting! I do plan on running again on Wednesday night... along with doing homework, because Don is working, and I hope for another hour of "Humor" on Thursday. Oh and did I mention we have a birthday party tonight and two on Friday? What will I do with desserts staring me in the face like that? I had a 1.2 pound weight loss this past week and I want to keep on the downward trend.

I too love paid holidays. However, I had to work this weekend so I did not get a three day weekend like everyone else. Now I have random days off like today -- wednesday. I can't workout because I am going to classes tonight and I can't spend time with people because they're all at work. I need a real job! A real job that pays as much as this one though!
