Rand's Daily Outfit Assessment: "You look like a pirate. That's one puffy shirt. Those are puffy sleeves." Thanks for paraphrasing Seinfeld at me, Rand.Today a coworker received this cute cookie cake and she set it out for everyone to enjoy. Did I succumb to the instructions to "Relax and Pig Out!"?
As soon as dinner was over we ran to the hospital to see some friends and their newborn. I'm not gonna lie. I think I was a little jealous. :)
What I Wore While Looking Like a Pirate...ARRRRGGG:
- redviolet/black/white blouse (a.n.a., thrifted Goodwill)
- black slacks (Lane Bryant)
- grey vest (Lane Bryant)
- skinny black belt (Nine West)
- earrings (Target)
- magenta snakeskin kitten heels (Steven by Steve Madden)
What I Ate Before Rushing Off To See a New Baby:
- breakfast: 1 c. Fiber One Honey Clusters, 2 oz blueberries, Almond Breeze
- lunch: beef buddig sandwich, baby carrots, mexican zucchini slices, cherries, 10 pop chips
- snack: small banana, SoyJoy, lite string cheese, 1 oz of cookie cake *
- dinner: faux chicken parmesan, spaghetti squash, roasted broccoli
- dessert: WW english toffee crunch ice cream
* After looking at everything I had scheduled to eat for the day, I did a little adjusting and found out that I could have a small piece of the cookie cake. It was good, but the small piece was plenty.
What I Did Because TV Influences Me:
Last week I requested that my library reserve a couple of DVDs for me. One of them was a movie but the other was a workout video. I watch The Biggest Loser, so I thought I would try The Biggest Loser: The Workout. I really like that I can just check this out from the library b/c it's not anything I would have ever purchased. It wasn't really like any other DVD I've done. There are 4 different workouts, which is great. And the people in the videos are real people - various cast members of the Biggest Loser. As a result they weren't always on tempo with each other, and sometimes they had a hard time keeping up with what they were supposed to be doing.
My assessment: it would be great for someone who has never really done much exercise, but the moves were too basic for me to enjoy. Having said that, I did get a workout. The sheer number of repetitions of movements really made some of it difficult. I'll check out some of the other workouts on the DVD, but it's not something I really would want to add to my video library.
