Contest results
Well, I got 4th place in both the chili and dessert contest. I expected to do better w/the chili and worse w/the dessert so I guess it evened out. But I was the only person to place in both events so that’s something to be proud of.
I did the 1st workout of the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and the pilates part of my yoga/pilates DVD. Food was good today although I was very hungry so I ate part of my lunch early. I also had an awful headache so I had an extra Coke Zero.
My sister called today, the one who’s boyfriend threatened to kill her and her kids. Her older son has been suspended and her younger son (kindergarten) has been sent to the principal’s office twice this year. Her daughter is now acting out for attention. She calls me for advice since I’m a teacher but I generally hold back b/c she won’t do what I suggest anyway and then it damages our relationship. And since she quit talking to me for a while after the whole death-threat-thing I’m taking it easy.
I was kind of selfish, though, when I was talking to her. She doesn’t have a lot of support and money is really, really, tight so she can’t do a whole lot to de-stress. I told her about this website in a generic fashion and explained how helpful it has been, definitely like therapy. But I wouldn’t tell her the name of the website. I didn’t want to risk that she would figure out who I am. This is the one place where I can be 100% honest and that is what has been so helpful for me. If I had to censor what I wrote b/c I thought someone I knew was reading I know I would quit blogging.
Progress toward workout goal: 98/250
