Can't say much about tonights workout, except that it kicked my bum and I worked through it with a SERIOUS headache/migrane... and even after one hour, a shower, ton of water and food feeling REALLY bad... so probably can't make it to belly dancing which is a serious bummer.

anyhow, persevered through nearly 20mintues of "Noah": 19.11mins
5 round
200m row
10 pushups
10 good mornings 25lbs bar
10 (band assistant) pull ups

I hope after a nap, I can go to belly dance! I don't wanna miss it!

Happy Pre-Fourth of July!! Looking forward to an afternoon of MEEEE time! I lent Dan my Cherry Corolla S with AC for his work trip today so I'm car less and looking to accomplish some things around the house. Not that they are all SUPER constructive- but I'm including ones that make me happy too. :)

Got a workout in today at the open gym at CF2260. It was just Dan and Pat and myself. We worked on deadlifts. I'm really excited because this week was sort of a breakthrough week for me. I worked with the small bar again today, added weight to it. I was deadlifting 45lbs! Seems small but coming from ONLY working with a light as a feather PVC pipe, this is progress. It felt pretty good, don't want to over do it- so kept with the same weight, but I tried to do more reps near the end. I FEEL STRONGER. Afterwards when we were focusing on items we wanted to work on, Dan challenged me in my double unders. "Show me 50 double unders in a row and I'll buy you dinner". I tried so hard! The highest I got to was 40, but wound up completing something over 200+ in the time I attempted them. (And... I still think he'll take me to dinner! ;)

Now I'm gonna finish the last 50 pages of the most HILARIOUS book, Confessions of a Shopaholic and do some chores around the house. I also have the movie Donnie Darko I want to watch and return to Netflix. Started working on my budget for the month.... gotta say, I WILL be budgeting A LOT! No excess spending, as I ultimately can not afford it. So glad I have paid for belly dance for the next 9 weeks, have 4 used books (including shipping costs) coming in the mail for $15 total and many other activities to keep me preoccupied! I'll definitely find a new Christy over the next few months.... Excited, nervous and willing. I'm looking forward to our Huntington Beach vacation July 18-21 and REALLY working towards doing it on a dime- because that's pretty much all I've got :) New way of doing things, as I say!

Happy Pre-Fourth of July!!! It was such a fun "vacation" type atmosphere at work today... Tomorrow could be a longggg one awaiting the 3 day weekend.

I'm really hoping to relax and enjoy time at home, with family and friends, do some reading and catch up on my to do lists: guest room (since I moved in.. I'm SUCH a procrastinator- I KNOW!), finances, reading, organizing, writing letters, watching movies and JUST RELAXING. Ultimately, I'd love to get some exercise in too... we'll see if I can handle the heat for THAT one! ;)

CF tonight, I might go, but think that will be WAY too much right before belly dancing. I want to go with a clear mind and clear heart so I can dance, shimmy and exercise in the fashion that makes me feel best :)

BELLY DANCING HERE I COME!
