Good Day Today

Today was a pretty good day, I have to say! Saturday night I didnt go to sleep until very late, so Sunday I was exhausted and went to bed around 7. I slept til 630 this morning and decided to get a jumpstart on my morning and set the tone for the rest of the week.

First thing I drank 2 cups of ice water and started doing the Wii boxing. For those who have not played it, it is challenging and you will get sore if you play for awhile--I did for about 45 mins. Then I did one of my favorite DVDs--Turbo Jam!!! I LOVE Turbo Jam. I did Turbo Sculpt with weights. It is 45 or 50 mins and it kicks your butt. BUT, it is a lot of fun.

Then I did a load of laundry, hopped in the shower, then got both girls bathed, hair brushed (which is a feat let me tell you) and dressed. And this was all before 10am. Then I worked, drank another 2 cups of water, had my protein shake and an apple and later some brocoli for lunch (I am a vegetarian who really tries to live vegan except that I occasionally eat fish).

I am sore now, but it feels good. My body feels tired, but in a good way--I know I worked hard today, it was fun and I am one day closer to my goal. Which brings me to dates. I am going back to VA in May for my grandfathers burial at Arlington National Cemetary. It is important to me to look nice, so I want to shoot for a certain weight loss by May 14th. What do you think is realistic or at least challening enough to make me work. I was thinking 40 pounds since I have 4 months. Any comments?
