I had an invitation to attend some Independence Day celebrations, run a 10K, and eat apple pie & coffee for breakfast. Decided I wouldn't have any time to do the things I need to do on Wednesday before going to work for the weekend. So, I passed on the Spreckle's Town Independence Day celebrations. I'd already decided to pass on the 10K!!

I took my nap early ... by sleeping in, instead of getting up early. It was supposed to be pretty hot today ... pushing 100. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep later in the day when it was nap time ... and much hotter.

Most of my afternoon was taken up by installing my A/C in my bedroom window.

It was pretty warm when I got working out. But, it ended up not being as hot as it was supposed to be. 80s. I decided to give the workout a try. But, I was afraid that the intensity required for running, or a P90X workout would be too much with the heat. I pulled out the Jillian Michaels DVDs (Biggest Loser) and gave the Cardio Kickboxing a try.

I didn't like that I started the DVD having no clue how long it was (nothing was written anywhere). There was too much talking to begin with ... I'd like to be able to cut out the "social time" ... during the first couple minutes or so of the DVD. But, otherwise, it was a pretty good workout. The intensity can definitely be adjusted on it.

Goals:

1. Workout.
2. Eat (a carb-filled) breakfast within 1 hour of waking.
   
3. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
   
4. Drink 6 bottles of water.
5. Stop eating at least 2 hours before bedtime.
   
6. Take my vitamins.
