Planks and Sushi- balance people...it's about balance.

Well- the instructor from last night’s class must have read my blog and known I needed to bust out some planks.  We did 10 rounds of 30 second planks-  a few months ago that would have been “Easy Peasy” (as Lilah would say- that’s her new thing).  Last night though, it was rough!  Shaking, fingers digging into the mat, legs wobbling, sweat dripping, - rough.  And today my shoulders feel it!  Tonight I will stick to the challenge and do my Day 2: 20 second plank- I have a feeling I can rock that with no problem, lol!

So after the gym- 15 minutes of cardio on the elliptical, then class- I went home - and per usual, didn’t want to cook.  I had trail mix for dinner.  Fail.  Saturday is the day!  I will go to the farmer’s market and the grocery store, and there will be no more excuses.  Until then though, no promises.  Anyone have any favorite, healthy, no cook, dinner recipes? 

Tomorrow is my last day of work before maternity leave.  I am so excited.  I can’t wait to have a little time to catch up.  Catch up on sleep…. Catch up on laundry… Catch up on cleaning.  It’s been really hard getting up at 5:00 am and getting ready for work after a long night of waking up every 2 hours to pee, or just to lay there with my eyes open for 2 hours – because why not.  So it’ll be nice to have a little flexibility and sleep in a little when I have a rough night.  And my little bug starts preschool, and ballet, and swim lessons, and I get to be home to take her to all these things!  I am more excited than she is!  I don’t see a whole lot of resting in the next 4 weeks- but I do hope to be productive.  Luckily I’ve gotten most of the baby prep done- all that’s left really is washing and assembling the co sleeper in our room, and washing the infant carrier. So I’m ready for ya, Ellie- but no rush, I’ve got lots going on the next few weeks- LoL!

I think that’s all for today- pretty uneventful yesterday… and Tonight I’m having sushi for dinner and probably not making it to the gym… so don’t expect much from me until Sunday or Monday when I’ve redeemed myself and have good things to discuss ;)
