Monday, 21 July

It's Monday, new week and back to work. I feel great today, got some good sleep and when I woke up this morning - I didn't feel like a zombie. (I've been sleeping in for the last 10 days so I thought it would be a lot harder to wake up). Fed the animals, Riley is so cute - since we got him shaved, he looks like a puppy. So did my morning stuff, made coffee, got dressed, got everything packed and in the car, got Olivia up, fed, cleaned and dressed. She was a little sleepy but once she woke up - she was chatting away. Her new word is "Puppy" - she says it over and over again. At her daycare, they have a Mini-Chihuahua and all the kids call it Puppy so I'm sure she picked it up there. Got her to daycare and then got to the gym. Did 40 minutes of cardio then got showered and dressed for work. Work was busy, playing catch up - being off for a week really puts me behind. The day went by fast. At lunch time, I did another cardio workout (Last week, I didn't do a single workout - I just relaxed so now trying to get back into the swing of things). Came back to the office and had some Chicken Noodle soup and a fat free yogurt. Finished my day then picked up Olivia. She is such the happy little girl. When I got to the Day Care, she came crawling as fast as she could to me and greeted me with a big smile. Made my day. Got her home and got her cleaned up. Kurt was home for a bit more until work so I then did an arm workout in the garage with Michael. We did biceps and triceps and inbetween each set we did jump rope. It was muggy out so we both got very sweaty. After the workout, got showered and then heated up the soup. Michael and Dan came over and we had soup plus they brought sandwiches from Quiznos. They were the 200 calorie folded pockets. Tastey. After dinner, they headed home and I played with Olivia. Really trying to encourage her walking. By 8:30, she fell asleep in my arms - so I put her to bed and then did some stuff around the house. Got all ready for Tuesday and was off to bed. I took some PM aspirins to help me fall asleep, they worked - I was asleep by 9:30.
