Sad Saturday

It is a sad, sad, Saturday... My son came home for a visit from the Marines and it is the night before he has to go back.  He did a lot of prepapation for returning, cleaning his room and laundry, such a good squared Marine!  But I tried to stay busy with my own chores just to avoid going down to his room to sit on his bed and watch him clean up his room.  He would have thought that was totally weird of me but I wanted to get my "eyes full of him", before he left again.  He is such a handsome and mature 22 year old man with green eyes and I just adore him so.  Needless to say, I did not want to leave the house at all so I waited until 11 pm to go out for a walk/jog.

Friday Half-n-Half

I did a half-n-half.  I went over to the small workout facility during my lunch hour, to see if I could squeeze in a few minutes of exercise and to test out how sweaty I would get.  I really only had 50 minutes so I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes at about a 3-4 miles per hour pace.  I wished I could have gone longer but by the time I walked over there and got my shoes on and got on the treadmill, I only had 15 to spare.  I did work up a small sweat, nothing to write home about, but I knew if I went any longer it would have been a tsunami of sweat.  Then about 5 minutes used up getting back into my work shoes and across the parking lot and to the cafeteria.  It left me about 20 minutes to eat.  Good thing I only had a salad...I finished up my other 15 minutes at home later in the evening with pilates and stretching.
