Canada Day musings

I'm home alone today, and it kinda sucks. I had big plans for my 3 days off... but really all I did was laundry, workout and work on the challenge. Not quite as productive as I would have liked.

I finally made it out for my run at around 12h30. I ran almost 8k. My usually energetic pace setter Jersey was a little tired today, so it certainly didn't help that I had to drag along a 60lb dog. Upon my return I hit up the breezy back yard to do a few stretches and some more ab work. Here's me in my sweaty glory!

I should note, that of late, I'm sporting the tank top with pride. I've been too self conscious to show off my arms. But I've decided I don't care anymore. I'm out there to work up a sweat, not to be judged. :)

Lunch was a repeat of the other day....

And look what my hubby bought me... a Cushtop by Belkin. Much easier then blogging from my lap. I'm sure its better for my posture too! :)


Not sure what we'll get up to tonight. Mr B works until 5h30... and has to drive through downtown Ottawa to get home which could make his life interesting. I suspect it will be a stay-in night as the weather isn't looking very promising.
TTFN!

Amy....You are so beautiful and sometimes, I wish I could just come over there and beat it into you!! Your arms are lovely, and even if they WERE less than perfect, nobody can look past your gorgeous hazel eyes, glowing skin, AMAZING smile, super fit and awesome figure, and completely infectious personality. I'm glad you don't care about your arms, because honestly, you ARE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!

Well done on the tank top! I've been trying to wear Tshirts lately, and just not think about the arms.
