katrinat's Journal, 20 August 2008

Feeling successful first thing this morning... I have decided that I am going to need to get my work out in BEFORE I 'fatsecret', otherwise, I sit here for so long going over journals, etc., that I end up having no time!! So, I got up this morning, flipped on my On DEMAND feature and worked out to a Biggest Loser workout for 25 minutes... AND it incorporated weights, so that counts for my weight lifting challenge! I also ended up getting in about 64 oz of water before bedtime as well as lifting my weights last night while watching t.v. for about 1/2 hour! So, all in all, feeling like my day has started off on the right foot!

Not much going on today. Since I let both of the girls go to friends houses last night, I have to get my son up a little early today and take him to my oldest daughters apartment. She's going to let him hang out with her today while I'm working. My youngest daughter gets her schedule for her first year of HIGH SCHOOL today, then my second oldest gets hers tomorrow (she's a sophomore). Next week is my son's orientation for middle school. I'll be in Arizona, but my hubby is going to take the time off to take him. My daughter also has freshman orientation the same day. The high school has a program for incoming freshman that, if they hold up to all the requirements, earns them an extra 1/2 credit. They call it Thunder Success Academy. They have the kids come in for a week a month before school starts to get used to the layout of the school, meet some teachers, learn a little about high school expectations, and get an upperclass mentor so they feel more comfortable in the beginning. Throughout the year, they will have meetings to make sure they are staying on track and will have help available for homework, etc. It sounds to me like a good program. I know my freshman year was tough, and I was a decent student!

Anyway, got a little drive today for work, but a longer one tomorrow. Not getting on a plane this week, but I will be heading out next Wednesday until Sunday-- at least, that's how it stands now. My schedule tends to change on the spur of the moment quite often.

Okay, got to get on with my day-- starting with a good breakfast! Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!!

Way to go on the workout!! I love that on Demand!! It's a great way to put some excitement into your routine and it doesn't get boring. It's always good to change things up a bit. You have a safe and great day!

Good job putting exercise first! Getting geared up for school is tough with just one kid for me. I always marvel at how others manage with a whole herd :) That Thunder Success Academy sounds like a great idea. Highschool IS so different from middle school. How did we all survive? LOL.

Good job getting your exercise in! Kids grow so fast. I always teased my daughter by telling her to slow down and not grow up so fast but it didn't work!
