Crickets
I HATE CRICKETS!!!! Bugs, spiders, snakes…whatever; they don’t bother me. But crickets and grasshoppers gross me out. Why am I writing about icky bugs, you ask? Last night I slept in our guest room in the basement b/c I had to get up earlier than my hubby and I was awakened at 4:00 by a damn cricket. It’s a good thing we don’t have cameras in our house b/c the sight of me chasing after a cricket w/my iron (the only thing I could find to smash it with) had to be a sight. I never got back to bed. I have been fighting a horrible headache all day, I would guess b/c of the lack of sleep.
Fortunately, though, the weather finally broke. Yesterday it was 90 and muggy and today it may not have reached 70. Thank God, I cannot imagine how bad my headache would have been if it had been as hot as yesterday.
Food was decent today and I had time to lift weights after school and put in an hour on the treadclimber. From what I could calculate, I burned over 1300 calories!! I ate more than I normally would for supper but felt ok about it b/c I had been so active. Basically, I was craving a cheeseburger and we had leftover grilled burgers in the fridge so I had one. But the key is, I had 1. That’s a huge step for me.
Progress toward workout goal: 40/250
Playing blog catch up here. Sorry to hear about your friend/SIL conflicts. Stress sucks. Sounds like you are back on track, which is where I hope to be AS OF NOW! We can do this, right?
1,300 calories burned! Wow! I’m impressed! And don’t forget…that’s after working all day! Way to go, Brandie!
Crickets I don’t really mind… it’s cockroaches. *shudder*
Great workout!!!
I’m with eryn about the cockroaches, I have a totally extreme and illogical response to them. Freak me right out. 1300 calories? Wow, that seems extreme, you must really work that treadclimber, awesome!
