6 out of 8

i'm really bad. i broke 2 of my "12 before 2012" resolutions. i took 2 days off from the gym after going 5 days in a row...and i haven't been posting at least every other day! ok, so i went to the gym today, and in my defense, i am sick with a gross cold that one of my little ankle biters probably gave me...but i am still beating myself up! i dropped my iphone twice at the gym today (thank goodness it didn't break, or i would have had to quit the gym right then and there!) so maybe that's my karma for missing 2 days. i know it's normal to take "rest days" from the gym, butttttt.......ok. moving on.

happy tuesday! we have a short work week this week (no school friday! yay!) and then only one more week until an ENTIRE week off for thanksgiving! wahhooooo :) i have been getting inspiration from pinterest for my art projects next week, imagine lots of indians, pilgrims, turkeys, and mayflower ships all made out of hand prints...it will be like i'm giving manicures to my students all week.

it's been really chilly here this week (love!) so today i went to the gym with a sweatshirt on, and decided to "run off" some of my cold while wearing it. ha. i lasted a half mile on the treadmill before i had to quit, a) because i had snot dripping out of my nose, and b) because i was majorly sweating. gross, i know. what is it that they say? "starve a fever, feed a cold"?? well, i was trying to run off my cold! i got on the elliptical for 30 minutes after that at crossramp 10 and resistance 6. it's weird that it feels better and easier to me to have a high level of crossramp rather than a low level. after that, a great song came on and motivated me to complete my "run" and so i ran another half mile (faster this time, but no less gorgeous i'm sure). whew! felt good when i was done, but it was tough getting through all of it while struggling to breathe!

anyway, i promise to write more this week. i'm off to see what's for dinner!
