Appointment

Today is the big day--I have an appointment with an oncologist to talk about breast cancer prevention. (I have a HUGE family history of breast cancer, and I inherited the breast cancer gene from my mom.) My fiance is going with me, so hopefully I won't be as emotional and angsty about it as usual.

Of course, I did not wind up doing my weight workout last night. I don't know what it is about strength training, but I blow it off all the time. Don't I want to replace fat with muscle? Oh yeah... I do. So maybe I should grow up and do my stupid weight workout TONIGHT. I ran 4 miles this morning and have Pilates this afternoon, so that's a lot of exercise in one day, but seriously--I can't keep letting myself get away with this!

Work is going well--it's been very busy lately, but I'm coping. Wedding planning is OK. Social life is a little overactive. Overall, life is good!

Have a great day,
Jen

Good Luck

at your appointment.  I hope all goes well.

I've been bad about weight training lately too.  Thanks for the reminder that I need to get my butt busy with that!

Good luck

Good luck at your appointment today.  I'll be thinking about you.

And yeah, strength training is so hard to do sometimes.  But think about the great results.  And you know that muscle burns more calories than fat!  That's a good thing.  And don't you just love being strong?  You can do it!

Hope

I hope your appointment goes well.  How did you fare dietwise this weekend?  I bet you were a heck of a lot better than me!

As for the weight training, you'll feel much better if you bite the bullet and get it done.  I'm sure it would give you that extra boost you need to break past the 145-lb mark.  Good luck!
