Chores Swap

Rand and I switched household chores for the month of November. As a result, he is doing the grocery shopping, and taking the lead in cooking. And I am doing the laundry, and doing all the dishes. So of course, on the first day of this switch, the dishwasher breaks.

What I Wore While Meeting the Repairman:

• black shirtdress (The American Shirtdress Company, Goodwill)
• camel tank, overdyed by me (Max Mara)
• brooch, worn as shirt embellishment (Goodwill)
• leopard ponyhair flats (Steve Madden) *
• black enamel & goldtone bracelet (Old Navy)
• gold earrings (hand-me-down from Mom)

* Since my ankle is injured and it's going to take 6 weeks to heal, you are going to be seeing a lot of these flats. And my black satin flats. I have about 6 pairs of flats but not all of them are work appropriate, so expect to be bored by my shoes choices for the next shoe weeks. And cut me a little slack if they aren't the perfect choice for whatever my outfit is. :)

What I Ate While Rand Tookover the Cooking:

• breakfast: scrambled egg w/ laughing cow cheese, alternative bagel, 3 cuties
• lunch: Buddig pastrami sandwich, corn and blackbeans, and lite yogurt
• snack: Gen Soy bar, lite string cheese
• dinner: faux chicken parmesan, spaghetti squash, garlic bread, a little bit of red wine (I gave the rest to Rand)
• dessert: WW english toffee crunch ice cream bar

Exercise:

Inspired by Sheila and my current inability to do much in the way of exercise, I started doing incline pushups at work. I wasn't sure how many I could do without getting too sore for the next day, so I just did 30 on Monday. Depending on how my arms feel, I'll do more tomorrow. I also did some leg lifts and other non-cardio exercise.

Total for the Day: 28 points, 6 glasses of water, 30 pushups
